One of my favorite things about photographing the D Family is that there are so many sweet moments in-between the "official" shots... Their fun-loving, gracious dynamic is amazing, and it's a pure privilege to be in their presence.
I love this one of Ellie running for her Aunt and Uncle, with Grandma trailing behind:
And this one of Cole might be my favorite from the session! I love the framing of the train, and his sparkly blue eyes set off by the orange of his shirt:
Shawna married into the family last fall:
I was loving the newlywed cuteness:
At this point in the session, we had just moved to our 2nd location, and I was THRILLED to have a few minutes alone with the newlyweds, since I LOOOOOVE shooting couples so much! Tim took his first opportunity to get on the phone and tell the rest of the family to hurry up, because, "She keeps thinking of more and more pictures to take of Shawna and me..." LOL!
I showed Tim a wee bit of mercy, and let him drift into the blurred out background:
If I was Grandma, this next image is the one I'd get a ginormous print of! The joyful mayhem is palpable, isn't it?
A couple more of the whole crew:
(Thanks yet again to Heather for assisting; she was doing who knows what behind me, to get all of these great expressions!)
There was newlywed cuteness, and new baby cuteness, too:
The two who started all the cuteness in the first place:
...and I just can't resist closing out this post with a bit more newlywed cuteness:
THANK YOU for the honor, D Fam! Love you guys!!
