These two kids are beautiful! And I know Allan might not appreciate me calling him that but seriously, take a look for yourself.

See…told ya. Oh wait, there’s more to prove my point.

And just in case you didn’t get a close enough look….

Yep… beautiful.

I met these gorgeous kids Saturday evening at “Out Under the Trees.” These first two kids are brother and sister and they genuinely seem to really be fond of each other. I also met their beautiful little baby cousin. Kyle and Mattie loved hanging out with and holding baby Emery. They are so cute together. I had fun hanging out with you guys!

And we decided that Emery needed a few with her mommy and daddy too.

Here are some of my favorites from this recent session. Such a beautiful family!

This morning was a gift. The weather was beautiful, the location was beautiful, and the family IS amazing!! Kelly and Lisa have been blessed with eight of the most gorgeous and totally awesome kids anybody could ask for. Lisa is Supermom in my book and such an inspiration. I could seriously go on all day about this family. But instead, just take a look. And be blessed!

And if I had to pick a favorite, which I don’t, it might be this one. These four were just off playing a little game while I was working with their baby sister. And I am so glad I noticed and was able to to snag this shot.

What can I say about Jackson? He’s funny but also very serious and literal at times.

He still prefers to be in his underwear whenever he has the chance. I don’t think he’ll ever grow out of that. He hams it up for attention more than we would like.

He loves very deeply. He’s empathetic and forgiving far beyond his years. And he adores his family.

He lights up a room.

See?

I wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember. Jackson made me a mom. And he’s making me a better mom every day of his life. He holds me accountable. He challenges me. He questions me. He is more than I ever hoped for.

But I did have to pay him $5 to let me take these pictures.

I know it’s after midnight and I need to go to bed. I know I’ll regret it tomorrow. But these pictures made me smile and tear up a little so I thought I would share them with you.

Meaningful family pictures don’t have to be all perfect and posed on the beach or in front of a bridge that you’ve never been to before. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But when you think back to the times when your kids were little, isn’t this the kind of thing that you really want to remember?

This is Mike and Christine surrounded by their… count ‘em….10 grandchildren!!

And they are all under the age of 10 (or 10 and under…can’t remember). Anyway, that’s a lot of babies! It was such an honor to be able to hang out with these guys on Labor Day and photograph their family. What a testament to love, family, marriage, commitment, etc….!!! And all of these 10 kiddos are so well behaved and precious. God has truly blessed all of you!!

It was so hard to pick the pictures of these kids for my blog. These are just gorgeous kids!! I worked with them almost a year ago and they are so well behaved and respectful. These kids *almost* make me want me to have another kid or two….but not quite. Anyway, here are a few more of my favorites from yesterday’s shoot with these awesome kiddos!

And bringing up the rear….

I’m finishing up these pictures and just had to post a few more. They are all so darn cute. I’ve had a hard time narrowing down the pictures from this session. That’s a very good problem to have.

Thursday morning I hung out at a local child care center to photograph some kiddos.  Here are just a few.
