Relaxed.  There is nothing better and more difficult to be when you know you’re having “photos taken”.  Yup, not sure why it would make people feel uncomfortable with someone lurking around holding a lens to your face and asking you to smile…aaaand THAT would be why I don’t do any of that.  My goal is to have you be you.  The cheesy smiles can stay at home.  Yes, I absolutely love photographing and that’s my art, but creating memories is my heart.  AH! Waaaaiiit a minute….talk about a great tagline, eh? hahaa~ok, ok, back to it….This family was seriously nothing less than FAB-U-LOUS.  As most every family, no one is ever truly sure of how things are going to unfold, but after about the first few minutes, the kids were giggling and it was smooth sailing from there!  Seriously love the fact that Susan brought a rocking horse which was hers when she was younger…it was PERFECT! I even won a photo challenge with Light Inspired for one of the family images 🙂 (Thank you, F Family & Light Inspired!) Ending the shoot in the water was priceless…yes, I mean IN the water~so, maybe the little princess ended up going for a little unexpected swim at the very end.  It was TOTALLY her personality (just like my littlest girl) and I caught it…you’ll see…just look for the soggy little Miss Goldie Locks 😉  Yup!  Just another memory!  Captured.

Enjoy!
