I loooove sessions in clients’ homes and so I couldn’t have been happier that Maggie chose to do her family’s session in their home, doing things that they love to do together. She wanted to capture the feelings of “little kid-ness” because before you know it they won’t be so little anymore. I had so much fun hanging out with them, capturing the moments as they happened- from the sweetness of big brother reading a book to his sisters to goofing around in the backyard to cuddling on the couch- we did it all!

You guys totally have to check out Maggie’s blog – she writes about her musings and life’s adventures in a fabulously witty and charming way. She wrote about her portrait experience with little ole me HERE, HERE, and HERE. LOVE!

Don’t you just love the colors in her house (I’m coveting her pillows) and their clothing choices are so fun! Want more what-to-wear inspiration for your dream session? Then you need my new style guide which you can get for free by popping your email address in here:

This family loves hanging out at the beautiful arboretum so it was a no-brainer location for their session. It’s such a peaceful place full of twisty trails and lovely green trees everywhere. I was reminded that I need to go there more often.

See that green box with the orange stuff inside? That’s a bug playground, how freaking awesome is that?! You go searching for bugs and place them inside the playground and they actually climb up and down the slide and everything. My brother would’ve gone crazy with that as a little kid. We have this home video of him as a blonde-as-blonde-can-be little two year old saying, “Daddy…. I saw a big bug!” We’ll never let him forget that, ha!

And those Little Golden Books- man, who else remembers those?! My favorite game as a kid, after my mom had finished reading the book to me 15 times in a row, was to have her ask me where such-and-such character was and I’d point to it. I sure hope she still has those old books, it’d be so much fun to look at them again.
