The "O" Family -

I *capital letters * LOVE *end capital letters* it when a client tells me in the pre-session consultation:

"I just want pictures of our family being ourselves.  I don't care if we're all looking at the camera and smiling.  I don't even like that sometimes!  Just capture us being us."

For me, this is what I adore to do.  It results in a session that is fun and too full of images.  The "O" family ended up having over twice as many proofs as a standard session.

If I can't narrow it down to proof, I do not envy them for having to pick out what images they will order!!!  :)

So here we go - I somehow narrowed it down to 15 images for the blog.

I know this does not even have a face, but I just loved her flower:

Their family was so full of love like this:

And fun like this:

With personalities like this:

My favorite part about this session?

I wanted to take some images of just the parents alone.  Instead, I had 2 silly children who kept coming into our picture!

I LOVED it because we got to see some of this:

But no worries, I get the shots I itch to get eventually:

 The kids were lovely - playing on their own:

Can you believe this little girl did this?  I expect this from a 7-10 year old who can be instructed on how to pose.  Sweet "N" did this all on her own:

My absolute favorite from this little guy:

I love the laughter in this image:

and the love in this:

My God - I pray for sessions like this each time.  To the "O" Family:  It was a TRUE joy capturing your family.  I had so much fun, and I thank you for letting me see such a gorgeous bit of your family.

Bises,
La Lume
