Marietta Family Fun – I adore this crew! The kids are growing up way too fast (like they all do).

Sharing a session from this summer in Marietta. It was this little guy’s 3 year old pictures and his Mom wanted to capture his great love of trains. He was super serious and you could see the wheels turning in his head at all times. My boys loved trains and I miss those days when you were always aware anytime you saw trains or even the tracks. I loved this one’s curiosity and luckily Dad was very diligent in following and keeping up with him. We took advantage of the occasion to capture some family portraits while we were at it. It was great to see who this family has become since their last professional photo session.
The picture below is one of my favorites of this year. I love the relationship between Mom and daughter and I’m glad I was with them in the moment to capture this. It is “so them.” 🙂

Family in Marietta
Ideas on what colors you can wear for your family to look their very best!

We are officially back in school but in my mind it will still be summer for a couple of more months.
Here are some colorful ideas of what you can wear together as a family that will contrast well against the green grass and trees of summer. My best advice is to start as early as possible in the summer for your sessions with young children. The humidity alone is tough in summer months, however, it is still a popular time to hold a family photography session and it can be done successfully. If your children are older go for late afternoons for the wonderful, dreamy light a sunset provides.

Family love all around
What a beautiful park for this session…oh no, not a park. It is their beautiful home with plenty of room for two little boys to run and climb. This family can’t help but remind me of our family when my boys were younger and I tried to keep them as busy as possible (and they kept me even busier!). They are waiting on little sister to join them next month and then the fun will really begin! I can’t wait to see if she is as smart, talkative and curious as her big brothers. I hope she will wear a big bow in her hair even if she chases right behind them up the Magnolia Tree.
The picture Mom will treasure most. All those boys will forever adore her!
Having Fun
Father’s Day Fun
I don’t always get around to sharing all of my sessions online so in honor of Father’s Day I went back a few months to find one showcasing Dad. The images I captured definitely showed all personalities in this family with Dad being thoughtful as well as goofy and silly with the kids. What great memories to remember Dad rolling in the grass and having fun.
We saw Pixar’s Inside Out on Friday when it opened. Not to give too much away, but when the main character, Riley, lost her goofball-ness I teared up a little. Men seem to hold on to their goofball personalities more than most ladies and it is fun to see how being a Dad can really bring it out of them.
As a side note: We saw Inside Out at the newly remodeled AMC at Parkway Point. I probably would have been a fan of the reserved seating had I been anywhere except the first row. Two thumbs up for the reclining seats and lumbar pillow. I’m a fan of few animated movies but this one was pretty good. If you cried at Toy Story 3, you will probably tear up (or weep) with this one too. I would say that it’s just me but the Mom next to me was wiping her eyes a LOT. A good movie to see this summer especially since you can take the whole family.
Happy Father’s Day!
If you don’t have big Father’s Day Fun planned IMDb has a list of the best movies to watch with Dad. Hide away inside and take in one of these Father-Flicks here. Field of Dreams is #1 and that is tolerable although I would still pick anything with Will Ferrell first!
New Baby Sister | Love
A new baby sister has finally arrived. Welcome to the newest member of this family! She is beautiful and very smiley with a loving big sister to show her the ropes and give lots of kisses. Like all second babies, she is a very good sport and doesn’t flinch a bit when her big sister is hugging her tight.
Mom is handling two babies at the same time so well (whether she realizes it or not). Whew! I imagine exhaustion has really set in since we last saw each other. I’m glad I was there to capture so many smiles and kisses. That is what we hope to remember from those early days.
Big Sister was oh-so-sweet and a busy bee. She was asleep by the time I was leaving!
A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.
