Over the last several months, I have been privileged to do three separate shoots for the same family: Diane’s maternity shots, newborn photos of Poet, and last weekend, a family session with the entire group. It was a unique opportunity to really have everyone get very comfortable with me, and to get used to seeing my camera clicking away.

I am still working on the photos from our last shoot, but here’s a few of them as (yet another) sneak peek:

We were lucky to get one of the last nice days of the year, it felt almost like summertime! It was a session that highlighted what a challenge it can be to be so cruel as to bring kids to the park on a nice day, and instead of being able to run around, some lady with a camera starts telling them to stand in one spot and look at her. The nerve of grown-ups! But seriously, thank you all so much for letting me into your home and to be able to spend time with you to capture your portraits.
