When Ashley contacted me about booking her family portraits for this fall, I was so excited to plan their session! We met through our local MOMS Club when I moved to Castle Rock last fall. She is such an amazing mama, and I am honored to capture her family.
These beautiful sisters are the same age as my two babies! I might be biased, but it truly is my very favorite age to photograph. I often get parents saying, "Oh my two year old is really going to make you work for it!" But the truth of the matter is that's okay! While I do take a few moments to grab a portrait with everyone looking at the camera, that's not our main goal here. I want to tell the story of your family so you and your children can look back at these images with THEIR families and see something really special.
I love this sweet mama's boy!
This might look like a quiet, stolen moment, but nope, there's a baby on the hip. And it doesn't get more real than that for a family of five...
Sometimes the littles reach a point where they are just D O N E with a capital DONE, and that's totally expected. They had so much fun playing and exploring for an hour straight! They were rock stars. But I love that Ashley and Will decided to include some of these outtakes in their gallery because this is a perfect way to remember the whole gamut of faces they see on a daily basis. It's not all smiles and giggles, and that's life with three under five!!
Thank you, Ellis family, for spending a beautiful evening with me and allowing me to capture your family as you were in this very moment.
