[drpopcap]S[/dropcap]ometimes I meet families that I get to photograph in kind of funny ways, and this was one of those situations! Ramie is actually a photographer herself, and was in Rachel and Matthieu’s beautiful May wedding. I SO enjoyed spending time with her on the day of – it is always a little intimidating to photograph with another photographer around and she was SO sweet!! So I was thrilled when she contacted me about a family session, and absolutely ADORED my time with her sweet family. She has a little boy that is MUCH like mine- a good old farm boy at heart. He reminded me so much of my own, and I loved running around the beautiful Lincoln Memorial Gardens in Springfield with them. Their family is growing with another baby in a few months and I am SO excited for them!! Ramie is the type of person you want to be BFFs with IMMEDIATELY upon meeting her, and while her Matt (also a good old farm boy at heart!) is a little more reserved than her, he was so easy to photograph, and great at natural interactions with his loves! And even though it was H.O.T the evening we did this session, they were total champs and you can’t tell at all in their images! Meet the lovely M family, and if you like this session or know this lovable family, leave them some comment love at the bottom!
As you can see, Grady is getting some puppy love here, and thought it was hilarious!
I love this.And these are about my favorite…What would a family session with a little boy be without some jumping?!
And flying!!!
I absolutely adore these of this sweet mama’s boy and his mama.
Thanks so much M family, I hope you LOVE these and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you soon!
