These guys are so fun! I wish I had a backyard like this when I was growing up! They were given so much freedom with this shoot...from what to wear to what activities they wanted to do...we fished, rode bikes, skateboarded, swung on the swing and climbed in the trees. Their mom really wanted them captured in their world. I loved it! You could see how much fun they have together as siblings, and their independence and creativity are inspiring!

Portrait: The Straumin Family
"I'm a movie star!" was what their youngest was chanting throughout his one-on-one time during the shoot with me. It was cracking me up! You can see by his poses below that he could definitely make it in Hollywood! I had so much fun with these guys! We were racing against the sun because the time change on Saturday night didn't register with me or the fact that we would have an hour less of sunlight. But, the light was beautiful, the kids were a blast, and we had a ball! Plus, we finished up just in time to all go and see the Colts bring home a victory!

Portrait: Paul, Jason & Hallie
If you have been following the blog for a long time, you may recognize precious Hallie here from a photo shoot I did awhile back for Bella Chic's anniversary party. She was the perfect model then, and continued to be this past Saturday. I had so much fun with these guys! I have seen Paul & Jason purchase things at Bella for their garden over the past year, so it was a joy to be able to go and see how it all came together...and, it is BEAUTIFUL! Check it out...

Portrait: The Collins Family
What a great way to start my weekend! A beautiful family with a beautiful day! Little Brooklyn and I were best friends from the start! She has the cutest room, and we had to whisper during most of the shoot because her babydoll was sleeping. And, we also got to have some fun with Mom and Dad when we got outside! What a fun and beautiful family!
