Family Love | family photos pt. 2

My post the other day mentioned two shoots I had this past week. I shared some of my favorites from the first family I photographed, now here are some from the second!


This family is so much fun! Their 6-year old Alex has no fear :) He dirtbikes and plays rough, but he is such a sweetheart! He definitely knows how to work a camera :) And their newest edition is Wyatt. Boy, oh boy, what a ham! His giggle is so contagious! All it takes to get him going is for Alex to "woof" and he goes into a fit of giggles. Kim and Mike also brought me out when they did because sadly, they need to put down their sweetie of a dog Miko. They wanted to get some last shots with her since she has been part of their family for so long. I could not for one moment see any sign of her illness though because on that beautiful sunny day, she was like a puppy again. She was rolling, running, and playing. Kim, Mike, I really hope I gave you memories to cherish of her and your two adorable boys!

The family are all avid dirtbikers and Alex is no exception (at 6!)

This last week has been nothing short of crazy busy! Thursday I had a photo shoot with Tara and Lee and their two beautiful daughters. My baby sister (well, not "baby"--she's now 22) had her bridal shower and bachelorette party on Saturday, then today I had a family shoot with Kim, Mike and their two adorable little boys.

One reason I love to photograph families is to see the bond and love between parent and child. Children only know how to love unconditionally. It's amazing to see the adoration in a baby's eyes when they hear their siblings talking. And heartwarming to see the extra squeeze of a hand from parent to child. I love seeing a parent take that extra second to relish in a hug from their child (mostly because it's what I love doing most with mine). And these two families I photographed this weekend had all of that.

Here are a few favorites from my shoot with the Mooney family!
