The {V} Family - Santa Rosa Family Photographer

The session started with a tour through the family property looking for frogs in their hiding places...

and included an anxious little girl who could strike a model's pose on a moment's notice (a personality trait that my sister and I both shared with a passion - in fact, any of our family photos from the late 1980's will show us in a similar stance.)

The wildlife adventures continued with these two little (errr, big) creatures...
 

And once the photo taking started, it was all fun and games (without any of the farm creatures in our way.)

I love having my friends in front of my camera, I start to see them in a different way and I get so connected to the images created, especially an image like the following one...

Meet little Miss {J} - a spunky, light hearted little girl who is all girl from her pink cowboy boots to her dancing and cheer skills to her caring heart of gold.

Meet Mr {A} - an energetic third grader who is all boy from his various Star Wars poses to his skills on the football field.

Seeing the two of them interact is just too cute for words...I love witnessing their bond, despite one being 'all boy' and the other being 'all girl.'

Getting excited for a loose tooth... 

If this is what marriage looks like after more than a decade and while raising two children, please sign me up!

The {V} family - thank you for spending the afternoon with me.  As I always do with you, I had a wonderful time and laughed more than should be legal.  I love being a part of your social calendar and I look forward to future football games, dinners and bunco nights.  And, I look forward to introducing you to "Shaan-a"  :)

xoxo

Oh Melissa, you did a fantastic job. I had fun despite the kids mood swings from time to time. Love that many childhood memories are captured in the background of the pictures. Can't wait to give photos as gifts as well as hang some in my home. Thank you again.
