It is so special when a friend asks me to photograph their family and even more exciting when it is a friend I haven't seen in a long time. This is my friend Lindsey and her cute little family. We spend all of junior and high school playing sports together. Unfortunately, we hadn't made the time to get together in recent years. On a Saturday afternoon, I spent a couple hours at their home photographing their nearly 2-year-old, enjoying catching up with my friend and seeing the life she has made for herself with her husband, Andy. They are renovating an old home (amazing), enjoying time with friends and family and being awesome parents to this little 2-year-old that kept me on my toes and firing many frames.
This is a session where I photograph life as it is happening - no major posing. I let the family interact together and just be themselves. Looking back years from now when their life is different, they can see the dance of their life at this point. I let Lily show me her world - her stick horse, baby and favorite books, stuff animals, yard and doggies. She ran the show just like she is running this home. I love two-year-olds. :)
It was a nice little Saturday at home with the Lay family. Loved meeting this sweet little girl- it won't be long and we'll be going to her basketball and volleyball games. :)
Little dinosaur stamps on the feet from gymnastics - little girls love painted nails and stamps.
So beautiful Anna, well done. They are such a gorgeous little family.
