In Which We Captured Lots of Family Love : L. Family : Family Photography

We were to meet at the park for family photos. I saw them approaching - me the girl with the camera, they the family excited for pictures. The big sister ran out ahead, she gave me a hug, the first hug of the evening. That's how it started.

This family is delightful. They're full of love and fresh enthusiastic energy. The kind of energy that equals little kids bouncing around + Mama keeping said little ones in line. What I love most about these photos are the reality of them, I love the candid smiles, the "imperfect" family photo ('cause one little kid couldn't help being goofy), the happiness . . .

This little man is older brother to three sisters. From begging Mom to hold Baby Sister to his gently putting his arms around the little girls I'd say he likes his title as big brother.

This was their pose folks, 100% and I love it.

This little lady has such a lovely smile and winning personality. I could have taken her home with me and never looked back, except I'm pretty positive that would have started some kind of anarchy at our local park 'cause there is a family who I think is rather attached to this delightful little girl.

This little gal is number three in the line up, a tiny little thing full or personality. Personality which my camera had the pleasure of capturing that day. Of course, my camera isn't the only thing capable of capturing - this little girl has completely stolen the heart of my sweet friend Emily Giasson who jumped in to second shoot for me at this session.

This little girl has completely captured the heart of her mama and four older siblings and I'm guessing that with her big dark brown eyes, curly hair, and cute smile she just might start to melt a tiny corner of your heart too.:)

This lady loves her children and it shows. It shows in her smile and is reflected back in four happy and trusting faces. She's not perfect. She hasn't had a perfect life and she'll tell you that, but that's part of the beauty - she knows it. She knows her own "imperfect" and has been blessed by God's "perfect". She's been blessed by His grace and she's blessing others.
