I love this family, which is crazy because this blog post is long overdue. They contacted me in the fall for a combined maternity/family session incorporating their three kids and this mama’s baby bump. Baby Peter is already here and his lifestyle newborn session is complete and blogged. But we’ll rewind a bit to last autumn because these pictures make my heart sing. Even more so now that I’ve gotten to know them better. I’m so glad this mama has precious photos with little Thomas when he was still the baby of the family. We’ve captured the dynamic of the five of them before they became six. Every time I see the photo of the kids running around their parents it makes me laugh and smile. That’s real. That’s parenthood. And it’s beautiful. We’ve documented the anticipation of waiting for their forth child, a darling son that would arrive a little sooner than we all expected. Looking at these photos, it makes me pleased that the kids’ personalities show through in the photos. That’s one of my main goals. Let kids be themselves – be silly, be serious, be shy…. it’s all ok. That’s who they are and I’ll aim to capture it so that years from now when their personality changes (or doesn’t!) you can all look at the photo with a memory of who they were, not just the day we did that photo session. Here are their images as they were in October. Enjoy!
