I love sessions like this. They were waiting in the window for me when I pulled into their driveway. Mom said they had been looking forward to our session all week long. They gathered clam shells and wildflowers, bird feathers, rocks and treebark, and stuffed them into my hands before I left. Precious gifts to me. Brandon hugged me at least eight times before I left, and Gracie offered me one of her beloved silly bandz. I think it might have been the elusive glow-in-the-dark variety too, so what an honor that was! I am a lucky photographer, indeed. :)
This is such a sweet family, and I'm blessed to enjoy my second session with them. Ever-welcoming, warm, and delightful in every way. I melted more than once while editing their gallery images, and I'm sure you will too once you see how darling these kids are.
This year, their session was held at their home, and I loved their energy together. I was able to be there to document storytime, snuggling, a fun (and funny) game of UNO, romping in the backyard, kisses in abundance, and the most gorgeous sunset ~ right from adirondack chairs in their backyard, which overlooked the water. It's a joy to witness this type of connection between family members... documenting it with my camera is even more of a blessing to me. Yet another gift from this family.
And a couple of sweet, most-absolute-favorite images I couldn't bear to leave out...
That last one has me melting all over again. Reminiscing about their session last year. Thinking about a quote I recently read:
"We do not remember days... we remember moments." ~Cesare Pevase
Thank you so much for waiting patiently for your sneak peek, Bruce and Lisa. I just adore your babies, as sweet as they are, and it's always a pleasure spending time with you. I'll have your entire gallery ready for you soon, so get ready! :)

Small "housekeeping" note: I will have Holiday Mini-Sessions finalized and announced by Monday! I'm booking regular sessions well into late October and November at this time, so if you want your photo shoot to take place before Christmas (and in time for Holiday print delivery) be sure to call right away to get on my schedule. It's a crazy one this year! :) Thanks much!
