Thatcher and Ethan

Thatcher and Ethan

I started our annual Easter Ducks & Bunnies mini-sessions when Ethan was two months old.  Every year I have photographed the boys with this event.  They know every Spring means getting ready for our session.  It has been a constant for them, even when lots of other things in our lives have changed. 

I was sad this year to not have my stepdaughters, but we kept the animals and tents a few days longer to make sure I could photograph these sweet boys and continue the tradition.  As they have gotten older, the session has become more about documenting them at this stage and less about the animals, but they still have lots of fun playing too!

What do you get when you pair a wild, wiggly dog who has been home alone all day with a wild, wiggly child that has been stuck in school all day? You get chaos and a lot of laughter! I think they both had a blast playing in the tall grass at the Alford Greenway!

I have been photographing Ian since he was probably two years old, but this was my first time photographing Trooper. I will say that Ian can be more on the serious side of things at times, but Trooper changes all that! The love this boy has for his dog is something truly special and you can see that joy all over his face!

We still had the Christmas tree set up from our Storybook Santa sessions, so when the Mitchell family wanted portraits of the kids with a holiday theme, we just moved a few things around in the studio and made it work! Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year, so I love displaying holiday images in my home year round. It always reminds me of that cozy time of year when you have time together with family, great food to eat and so much to be thankful for! I am so happy that the Mitchell family will have these images on their walls to also remind them of those feelings!

It took all of about two seconds for Maximus to warm up to me and once he did, watch out!  His personality is as big as his mega watt smile!  He kept me laughing the whole time!
