I have to admit, I am really excited about this post. First because the people in it. Laura and I met way back in the day, and were BFFs
) through our early high school days. Though we don’t see each other nearly enough these days, she is still so very special to me, I just adore her, and treasure every chance we do get to spend together. She has a fabulous little (or big) family too. I just love being around them!
Secondly, we had an amazing location. I have to thank the Swaans so very much for their generosity in letting me use their incredibly beautiful property. (and thank you Tammi for taking my kids last minute – you are the best sister ever!!) And let me tell you, I was almost giddy at all the little spots we used, and there were many I didn’t get to use. Maybe they’ll let me come again) Needless to say, the combination of a great family and fabulous location is just way to good a combination! I loved it and got WAY too many photos.
A few individual/couple shots for your viewing pleasure:
Okay, so yes, they are also a beautiful family, and had such great outfits, it really doesn’t get any better. I love what Laura chose for them to wear. I was a little in awe of how well all four kids did too! It really is a rarity that even one does as well as they all did! Again, there were SO many that I loved, I had a hard time narrowing down, so there are a lot of pictures, I’m sure Laura will forgive me)
(I love those two photos, doesn’t the one on the right kind of remind you of the brady bunch intro? I couldn’t help but sing it as I took those shots)
A few faves of all four kids. How adorable are these children?!?
There is so much love in this family. I mean there always is, but sometimes I get to just see it, and feel it, and I love it. These kids adore their parents and one another. And their parents feel the same. I loved seeing Rylan be all big brotherly to Carly. I love how well Brad and Laura work together. Sometimes I get all emotional when I think I’ve gotten it right) And I felt that way as I looked through their photos.
So there you go. Lots of good stuff! Laura, it was my privilege to spend time with you and photograph your family. Every time I see you, I only wish we saw each other more) Hope you love them, there’s lots more. Anyone wanting to pick up your pictures (who I’ve let know that they’re ready) you might want to get them soon as I will be heading on vacation at the end of the week! Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I’m off to prepare a turkey dinner! Yummy!!
