This family is so special to me, and they were especially fun to work with! We have been trying to plan this shoot for ages, and I'm so glad we were able to finally make it work!
It turned out to be a pretty cold day, but the kids were tough little cookies and made it through the entire shoot with great attitudes and beautiful smiles. Their mama- Sarah, is a dear friend of mine. She is such a beautiful person. Watching their family interact together was truly priceless. Some people are just natural born mothers, and Sarah is absolutely one of them.
I also have to send a shout out to DJ, the proud father of these darling little girls. He was SO great! So often people ask me how I deal with little kids during a shoot, and yes, it can be tricky getting the youngsters to pull out those natural smiles. But guess what? The truth is, it's usually the DADs that give me the hardest time. Not DJ though! No sir, he was so amazing. He even pitched in with great ideas, and we ended up with some amazing shots. So thanks DJ! You rock!
Getting to work (or rather- play!) with amazing people like this family is just one of the many reasons I love my job! :)
Injoy!
