lily, and family...

this picture went to my all-time top 5 on my website withing a day of posting it!












those sweet neck kisses...
































lily stole the show in this family portrait session. her smiles, and frowns, and those sunglasses! i loved watching this family interact and the obvious love that they shared. that love was quite palpable.

i didn't have to pose them at all...i captured them just being themselves. just how it is supposed to be.

it's very exciting to work with families who value that the simple moments and natural smiles are what the days of our lives are all about. and that today is a day to be treasured and documented.

mom and dad had a sweet chemistry. at times dad would just bend down and kiss his lovely wife on the neck. and that kiss would produce the fullest and most robust smile from his beautiful wife. and her dimples--they speak for themselves.

i loved meeting this family and left our session with a smile on my face. their fun energy stayed with me well into the night. and my face displayed a frozen smile the entire time i was editing the images.

i
love
my
job.
