I love this wonderful family! Ever since waaay back to photographing Jessica & Aaron’s wedding, to getting to photograph Claire earlier this year and now, she’s a big walking, smiling, laughing 1 year old!!! It’s amazing how quickly the time has gone, feels like just yesterday that I remember the cold December day that Jess & Aaron were married!! They are soo wonderful to work with…and always have been! They are soo laid back, easy going, fun and always flexible! Miss Claire rocked it for a good 30 minutes for this shoot, but then the wind picked up, the temps kept dropping and she just plain got tired of me and enduring the weather (and frankly, I didn’t blame her at all!)….but like always, Jess & Aaron completed trusted me when I said that we had great ones already and we could wrap up….and I love that about them! And as you will see, Claire seriously rocked it! She is SUCH a cutie!! Thanks soo much, Jess, Aaron & Claire for an awesome, slightly abbreviated shoot! Can’t wait until next time!!

OH the wonderful Bostic family!! How I adore them!! I am not even sure how many times their gorgeous faces have graced my blog…but every time I get to photograph them, I’m grateful!!! I always walk away from our shoots in slight amazement that they are as super cooperative as they are through hours of photographing, locations, many outfit changes, etc! It’s a lot to ask of children and they really do an incredible job of being TERRIFIC for photo shoots (the most common question I get from other Mom’s of kids that I photograph is “How does the mother of those gorgeous Bostic children get them to change clothes that many times and cooperate through it all?”)!  The answer…well, it’s several things….but in this case, it was bribery!! (a commonly used tool in photographing children!) Amy (their beautiful and super patient momma) basically agreed to make them cookies for breakfast the next morning (HA!!)…and it’s also a whole lot of fun and sillyness, Amy and I making fools of ourselves in order to keep the mood really fun!! We have a wonderful time and I just couldn’t adore them more!! Thanks for another awesome shoot, Bostic’s!! And thanks again for the sweet gift for Sophie, Amy!! xoxo!!
