As promised, I am very pleased to share more images from the family portrait session that I shot last Saturday. Jenni and Don recently celebrated the first birthday of their darling twin daughters and it provided the perfect excuse to invest in some family portraits. It was also a chance to capture some memories of this particular time in their life. They just recently relocated to the Northwest for a temporary work assignment and are planning a move back home later this summer.
Jenni and Don – thanks again for being so warm and inviting as you welcomed me in to your home and trusted me to capture these images of your beautiful family. It was truly an honor. Enjoy your images!
And that goes for the rest of you too. Enjoy! You’ll notice that I shot the majority in black and white to suit Jenni and Don’s preference but I also captured quite a few in color as well, a couple of which I will share below. I personally tend to gravitate toward the black and white images as well. For some reason, black and white always seems to articulate the emotion of a particular moment so much better. Leave a comment and let me know what you think?
Just like our family, one of their favorite things is reading bedtime stories so it was important to capture the family enjoying some of their favorite books together.
Just spending time together as a family is so sweet. It’s important to capture these little, simple moments instead of taking them for granted.
The girls enjoy their very own personalized chairs. Noticing toes and sharing a contagious laugh is a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning.
This was one of the few times where they actually noticed the camera. A little intimidating for most kids but not when there’s two of you and only one of me.
Weekends are a great time to settle in to a good book. The one on the right was always a favorite around our house–watch out for that Noothgrush on your toothbrush!
The new found freedom of being able to stand and walk on your own is exciting but there’s still nothing like the comfort and safety of staying nice and close to mom and dad.
Snuggly time with dad never gets old. As someone that has personally experienced how fast kids grow up I can say that these are the moments you want to preserve and cherish because unfortunately, they don’t last forever.
Sometimes you just need to be silly. And with twin girls, there’s always an opportunity to do that.
One of the nice things about having a sister, is that you always have someone looking out for you and ensuring that you look your best. And sometimes, looking your best means getting all of the buttons fastened just so.
And then showing her how much you love her (or sounding the bell for a wrestling match).
Well, based on this final image, I’d say that I accomplished my mission. You know, the one referenced in my watermark? “Find joy in every moment”. What do you think?
