Then Comes Baby

I love doing fun projects for my friends.  Jamie is my super talented, super awesome friend.  She’s pregnant with baby boy #3 and we’ve been documenting her growing belly.  She’s on the home stretch.  Just a few more weeks to go until we get to meet the new handsome man!

A few weeks ago I spent the afternoon with the Peek family.

I had so much fun getting to know them and capturing the dynamics of their family.

There is clearly SO much love in this family for one another.  But, at the same time, there is that sibling love/hate relationship.  It’s so interesting to see how 4 kids in the same family can be so similar and so different at the same time.

Ivy is the oldest.  She is 13 and loves My Chemical Romance.  She is tall and beautiful.  Both inside and out.

Wyatt is 8.  He has amazing hair.  He’s a sweet boy, but don’t ever call him Wayde.  He does not like to be called Wayde

Casen is the baby.  He likes attention   He worships the ground his older sister walks on and the feeling isn’t always mutual.

Zaine is 11.  He loves video games and is a picky eater.  He is a rule follower.  Just like me.  I always follow all the rules.  Except when possibly trespassing to get the perfect shot   Note to self:  Don’t tell Zaine if we are possibly trespassing on our next shoot! Tiffany and Dave are so much fun.  They’ve been together since Tiffany was a senior in high school.  Their love for one another and their family is so evident!

Thanks Peek family!  I had a great time getting to know you!  Here’s your slideshow!

Tons of fun!

Thanks to all of the amazing families who came out and participated in the mini sessions!  I had a blast and I hope you all did too!
