The "R" Family

I could not have enjoyed watching these boys interact any more! When I asked them to "play"- they genuinely took my advice and interacted with one another like they would at home on the family room rug - and what resulted were some of the most genuine fun-loving shots from the season! Makes me fall in love with photography all over again.

When Martha and I planned her session, she emphasized how much she longed for portraits with her kids. I had assumed her children were young, so when I asked for their ages I was surprised to learn that her kiddos were no longer kids- in fact, they are busy young adults. After our conversation, I thought long and hard about how important family portraits are- regardless of our ages. We often focus on photographing our kids when they are younger, but fail to keep up as they become adults. 

Needless to say, I was very excited to capture this wonderful family at this stage of their lives. I adore some of the group portraits and LOVE some of the shots of mom and dad alone. This session also made me think about the portraits I look forward to having done of my family, when my girls are young ladies, and my husband and I are ready to start new adventures together. Thank you Canabal Family for a wonderful session! Your family is beautiful. 

Sincerely, Steph

When Claire asked to schedule a session for her kids and herself, I was beyond tickled to have the opportunity to photograph my little Sophia's best preschool buddy Melanie. Sophia talks about her adorable friend non-stop, so it was actually an honor to photograph little Melanie, her two adorable brothers, and her beautiful mommy! We had a great time exploring, looking for sticks and pine cones, and capturing memories to treasure for years to come. Next time we are getting dad in the shots!
