Boyce Family :: Historic District, Columbus, Georia

Let me begin by saying how incredibly entertaining and fun the Boyce family was. That really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who knows them. I've known Lindsey for a little less than a year and she is quiet possibly one of the most authentic, down to earth gals I have met. I met Lindsey trough my triathlon team and over the past (almost) year, we have attempted (and failed) a few times to set up this session so all her babies can be in the same photograph. 

Each member of the Boyce family brought a little something special to our session - Phelyan brought the trouble, the ladies brought the glam and attitude, and Lindsey brought the great facial expressions. The boys tried hard to kept their serious faces on, but every once and a while, I would catch a glimpse of laughter. Guys - try not to have too much fun, you're killing me with all the jokes. ;) 

Favorite moments?

• I asked them to shout out who mom's favorite child was ... Lindsey (and others) answered with "Lula Belle"... Lula Belle just so happens to be one of their family dogs. I was crying laughing.
• When I directed the guys to give me their best model pose, *Pheylan!* was the winner of the best pose. I'm not sure if I should be surprised or not, since he was the class clown of the family.
• Hello? How could I not mention the gorgeous soft and flowy sunlight?! You know me and my sunshine! I'm a sucker for beautiful natural lighting!! 

Thank you Lindsey and the whole Boyce clan for inviting me to be a part of your family for an evening! I know it was sweaty hot, and there were lots of bugs and sticky hugs, but you all did ahhmazing. It was truly my honor to photograph this sweet and sassy family!

A Lovely Day on the Farm :: Schreck Children

A couple weeks ago I spent a warm fall day on a super adorable farm in West Point with Christy and her three amazing, adorable, sweet, gorgeous children, Anna, Lucy and Owen. I'm not even slightly exaggerating when I say they were the most well behaved kids I've had the pleasure of photographing. No hard feelings my other moms. On top of that, they were basically tiny models all day and had the best attitude about being photographed for a couple of hours. I guess it probably helped that we had a very adventure filled afternoon - there were sunflower fields, cotton fields, a corn maze, pony rides, a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch AND a hayride.

I'm beyond grateful that Christy trusted me with her little nuggets of love for a whole afternoon. She shared with me that they used to do fall photo shoots with a friend every year until she moved away, so I felt slightly nervous that the tiny humans might not take to me... But, I can honestly say that Anna, Owen and Lucy have stolen a little piece of my heart -- and Lucy told me that she loved me, so I think I won this round. Thank you for your patience Christy, I know you've been dying to see the photos!

Hodgman Family :: Rindge, NH

I'm sure I've mentioned in previous posts how much I actually LOVE Janelle and Keith. We could trace it back to high school (yes, I've known them for that long) or the beginning of our photography relationship when they got engaged. Either way, they have become my original dream clients - meaning I've been there from their engagement through their wedding and first baby, to their second babe. They are amazing and I love them (all this is well documented, and you can dig through the blog should you desire to watch them grow as a fantastic couple).

Per usual when Janelle and I schedule a shoot together, it was freeeeeezing cold. Seriously, I've acclimated to Georgia weather quiet well, but this was cold, even for Keith. And that's saying something. Regardless, I had a great time laughing at Gunnar's typical boy personality and swooning over how sweet Colton was. Janelle and Keith were, as always, on their best model behavior. 

Thank you guys for being amazing clients, and for trusting me to photograph your lives together. You are a beautiful couple inside and most definitely on the outside. Seriously though - FOUR sets of blue eyes?! How do you even top that?
