After having to reschedule due to all of the rain, this family made the trip up from Philly for some fun in the forest!

Luke contacted me a few months ago about purchasing a gift certificate for his lovely wife for their wedding anniversary.  You see, Jessica loves photography and she captures wonderful moments of her children and husband, and they get some great ones of her as well.  As most families know though, someone is typically missing during all of this fun . . . the photographer! ;)  So, the goal for our session was for this family to have fun in the woods while I captured all of them together!  Of course, there were some silly little moments that happened during our session and many that involved a caterpillar! 

I had so much fun while Mom and Dad allowed their kids to just be kids, dirt and all!  I think Luke scored major brownie points with his gift!  I wanted to try to give you a feel for this session and one or two images just wouldn't have cut it.  Brian scored major brownie points with me for being the best helper ever!  Jessica and I are lucky gals! ;)

 One more for this gorgeous super mom!

Q = What happens when you have two sweet little boys, two rescued pups, a fantastic location, and two amazing parents who want photographs that truly depict each of their kids (human & canine) as they really are?

A = See photos below.

 It was a goal of the parents that I capture individual portraits of all of their boys, those with fur that they rescued, and those. . .without!

Sweet Big Brother

Silly Little Brother

The next photo of Trevor has a bit of motion blur, but it's definitely still a keeper. . .and a fave of mine! His ear makes me laugh out loud!

Tucker just loves to chew sticks, you should have seen the monstrous BRANCH he was gnawing on during the session!

I absolutely adore the next two brotherly moments . . .

Mom's idea! These boys just love their lalas! What a great treat for the end of our session!

Trevor is aquirky mix. I wanted to photograph his coat to show you how unique it is. Could he be part sheep? ;)

This next photo of Tucker just sums up how lucky both Tucker & Trevor must feel to be given second chances by this loving family! Obviously, they are truly happy and content with their family!

When Brian & I arrived for the session, the family was just hanging out by the creek.  By the time the end of the session rolled around, they were doing the same thing (only with lollipops), so I encouraged Dad to join them for a few shots.  Even though this session was about all of the kids, I thought a quick family shot would be fun.  I do love the layers of this casual family portrait.

I have to say thank you to this really unique family!  I hope you had as much fun at your portrait session as I did.  I left feeling incredibly warm and fuzzy, like Trevor's coat. ;)  Your entire proof gallery will be live soon.
