Another fun family...

I had such a fun time with this family on Sunday! They requested a park I'd never been to before, and I definitely would go back here again. There were so many great spots for photos... great call, "O" family!

Their daughter, who is the same age as my son, was having a lot of fun helping me pick out locations and suggesting poses. She said she likes being artistic, and I could tell. Thanks for some great posing ideas, Miss M!

Little J was too sweet... he went from being shy to big tackling hugs in no time! His big brother and sister were great with him... you can just see how much fun they all have together.

And I have to say, these were some of the most easy-going parents EVER! They would walk away and let me work with the kids on my own without me even asking... and that really does make a difference. Kids don't want mom and dad breathing down their neck the whole time... they want to have fun! They want to try to startle the photographer by telling her there is a huge dinosaur... or more believably, a raccoon or a weird bird, right behind her... oh wait, no, not really... Yeah, big brother X was doing his best to trick me!

But seriously, these parents were up for anything. When I asked them to lay on the ground with the kids piled on top, no problem!

When I said, OK, now kids tickle your parents and it turned into a big crazy laugh-fest... that's fine too! This session was truly a reminder of how lucky I am to have such a fun job...
