This family rules. They chose an at home session and it was perfect. Gorgeous yard and the kids felt right at home…literally. These brothers were amazing. Different personalities and so much love for each other. It was such an easy session because the oldest brother  was like a creative director for me. He would grab his baby brother and find a place to sit and pose, while the other brother was demonstrating his skillful tree climbing. Needless to say, my camera and I were so entertained the whole time. Then there is baby brother and his BFF Teddy. Teddy has been in the family for years and has been passed down between the brothers. Teddy needed his own picture and I got one, but baby brother wouldn’t let Teddy sit alone for too long and sat down right next to him. I love that it was real moment sitting with Teddy and not at all staged, even though it looks staged.

FUN FACT: I have know mom since I was a child and knew that we were related in some way. I was pretty sure we were cousins, but not first cousins. I think I did the math right, and she is actually my 4th cousin. It was really great seeing her and my cousin in law again AND finally meeting their kids. This shoot really felt like being with family…well…because they are, right?
