Rilo | 7 Months

So October has flown by for us. Some of you know that we went on our first "Family of Five" vacation this month. It was great! Fun, chaotic, wild, relaxing only at times (ha!) and definitely WARM. It was wonderful.

I am a little behind on my editing but Rilo turned 7 months in October and I decided to snap a few of her monthly photos on the beach, since we may not get that opportunity again for quite some time. I usually like to take a few more than I was able to get for this shoot but she loved the sand so much, she started to eat it!

This was the messiest session, yet.

I love them. 

Oh man. It's great to be back in the midwest for the bulk of our lovely autumn weather BUT I definitely left a little piece of my heart and soul in sunny Florida.

Enjoy. <3

Pflug | Family

This is such a dear and sweet family. I am privileged to be a friend and to also have been able to capture their family photos for the second time, as their family has grown. 

 We picked a spot near the Hoover Dam Park, Columbus, Ohio and walked around. We did get messy but we accomplished our goal!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love the simplicity of capturing families at play. 

To get to witness a family that plays together, talks, explores, giggles, and just enjoys being in the company of one another is my honor.

I get to look through that window of love and steal moments of time for them. (Only to give them back, of course.) 

That's what I do. What I want to continue to do. To say, "Hey, meet me somewhere that you and your family can be yourselves. Your interactions will make the shoot."

I play the smallest role in the occurrence of these magical moments. Families make them happen. I'm just here to capture them.

Enjoy. <3
