A HILARIOUS FAMILY!

I had such a fun afternoon working with this family.  The whole time they just laughed with each other!  They seemed more like a group of college friends then a family!  It was really special since Freddy, one of the brothers, just got back from Fiji on a 2 year church mission!  (Can you guess which one he is?...look for the island print)  You could tell everyone was just so happy to be together again.  We took all of these in Fred & Robyn's backyard - isn't it beautiful?!

Here's some of my favorites from the session....be prepared that these pictures will make you seriously miss your family!!

I'm going to start you off with my favorite from the session!  I LOVE this shot!

Can you believe this is their backyard?!
Here's our first traditional pose...

And our second...


Are you smiling yet?
Bright orange hammock + silly brothers = great photo

Can you see why the kids in this family are so happy?


This picture makes me LOL!
These girls were so funny together!

And SO beautiful!!!



I LOVE this series because this was all Fred & Robyn's spontaneity!

I don't think Savanna was liking being tickled in this photo!

A NIGERIAN WEDDING!

I am so sorry for the lack of posts lately...I've been working on albums so I haven't had a lot of extra time to post!  BUT...this post should make up for it. : )

Here's some of my favorite images from my first Nigerian wedding!  It was so beautiful!!  There were hundreds of guests and they were all wearing traditional Nigerian dress.  I was so inspired by all the colors and and this beautiful couple!

I was shooting with LCA Videomakers for this wedding and those guys are awesome!

I'm going to start off with my favorite image from the day...their beautiful Cadillac made for an amazing prop!

How gorgeous is she?!




You have no idea how excited I was to see they had orange walls all over their condo!



Finishing touches...
This little guy on the left was so sweet...he kept waving to me and smiling. : )

ADORABLE FAMILY!

I had such an AMAZING session with Ashlee and her family. They were so at ease the entire time and were just there to have fun! As a result, we captured beautiful images full of emotion from everyone. The kids were hilarious, and had the exact same facial expressions when I was trying too hard to get them to laugh....like,"Who are you, lady?!" I didn't need to try hard since they were popping smiles left and right, along with lots of other fun expressions. It did help that their dad was jumping around and doing hilarious stuff...although, I really don't know what he was doing since I was looking at the kids instead of him, but it sure sounded funny. ; ) This family is so gorgeous, inside and out. I am so lucky to have such amazing clients!  I totally went overboard on this post!

Jackson is SO HANDSOME!



Kennedy is SO BEAUTIFUL and so sweet!!


I love how Jackson found the smallest stuff on the ground!


I was thrilled that Ashlee wanted a headshot to give her husband!  She is so GORGEOUS!




So I offered Jackson to get to choose the next pose and he chose the one of the far left - how cute is he?!?!  He thought it was so funny that we thought he was adorable!

Kennedy's pose idea was holding a leaf ; )


I love how protective Jackson looks over Kennedy!


This was when Jason was jumping around behind me....totally worth it!



This girl just glows happiness!


How inseparable do these boys look?!

Beautiful family and beautiful session, thanks you guys!
