Family session with Bob and Krisztina

Sunday was the perfect day...the fall weather was absolutely gorgeous and warm; I was able to spend the morning with my closest friends to celebrate my birthday; and I ended with camera in hand to take pictures of one of my favorite families. I've been photographing Bob and Krisztina's family for several years now, beginning just prior to the birth of their oldest daughter, Aliyah. I love that Krisztina values photography and has invited me time and again to help document their lives in pictures - it's been a blessing to us both.

Now that Aliyah is a pre-schooler, I enlisted her to help me with our photo shoot - deciding where to place her parents, finding the right spot, etc. She wanted a picture taken of herself and her baby sister in front of this shed - why not? I love how Aliyah wanted to "help" her sister smile for the camera, but I'm not sure Livia was too crazy about her help.

Okay, that's better!

After exhausting our options at Willows Lodge, we headed out to a pumpkin patch farm for a few more shots. I think this image is so sweet of Livia.


I could see Aliyah was having a great time choosing the perfect pumpkin, but it was even sweeter when I realized she had chosen the pumpkin for me. Awwww...


Bob, Krisztina, Aliyah and Livia - you know I love you guys! I pray these images will bring a smile to your faces and be a blessing for a long time to come.
