The C. Family has the coolest house, retro-modern awesomeness. Warm, inviting, colorful. I love colorful homes. Every time I’m in one, it makes me want to add more pop to my own living space. Our session in their awesome home was in honor of the addition of little Kelby and (and of course new big sister Kaelyn). I always recommend at home sessions to my clients. They’re challenging, it’s true. I never know what kind of light I’m walking into. At home sessions aren’t as easy as at-the-park sessions where you know you’re going to have pretty backgrounds and plenty of light and things are more predictable. But at home sessions are always unique. That’s the great thing about them. Every family’s home is unique, a direct reflection of them, their style, their favorite things, their life experiences, what’s important to them as individuals and as a family unit. It’s the home of their children. Pictures like these help kids know where they came from. I think that is AWESOME. A heritage, a treasure that they get to have passed down to them. I’m a big fan. Can you tell? 🙂
We incorporated their space, their dog, Kaelyn’s favorite outdoor activity (see below), the kids’ cool half green and pink bedroom with handmade (by Mom) quilts. We captured the kids as individuals and as part of their family, in their room, in their home. We captured Daddy/Daughter board game time when Kelby needed some extra attention from Mom. And some of the first moments Kaelyn experienced holding her new little brother. Precious moments.
Congratulations on becoming a foursome, C. Family! Thanks for letting me being a small part.
angie - WOW! LOVE THIS! These are so great! Love how well you got all of them in the first image! I also love how happy and full of life the big sister is. You captured her so well. Flawless newborn pics too.
I am in the blog process of saying a similar speech about at home sessions. I just tried to take my own kids into nature and it was a flop. The next day, I got some great at home shots and they had no idea I was snapping away. Being at home is so much more real than you can get anywhere else.
