The Kidzu Charity Event was quite the experience. I had the opportunity to meet up with 3 families I had never met and take their pictures in about 15 minutes. It was a bit of a whirlwind. But I’m so glad I did it. The first family I shot was the Ossmann family; I was late and out of breath, but they were so nice and didn’t hold it against me! All three kids were so well behaved, and as you’ll see they’re quite the good looking family. As I do more and more shoots, I’m finding that families and kids and babies are definitely a favorite for me to photograph. Kids are just so open, so honest. And that gets genuine reactions and expressions. The Ossmann kiddos were no exception! Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy…

I’ve photographed this little lady from her first birthday on. At two and a half, she is no longer a baby, but growing into a big (but still little) girl. I had to bring along my babies to this session, which thrilled Evelyn since she loves Emi. She asked me the other day if she could go outside to run around with her. If only that play date weren’t 5 hours away, that would be no problem at all!

Something about her pigtails just thrilled me, love them. Enjoy…

As we chatted on the phone the morning of the shoot discussing wardrobe options and the potential threat of rain, I told Maria that even though I know them, and that I’ve done my share of shoots, I still undoubtedly get nervous before each and every shoot. I’m not sure why, because similarly, each and every client gives me no reason to be nervous. Eric + Maria were no exception.

Maria and I met through soccer (of course, I meet everyone through soccer). Our husbands played together last season here in Raleigh, but this current season they moved down to Charlotte to play for a team down there. So when she emailed me saying that they’d be back up in the area and would like to try and schedule a session, I was so hoping we could make our schedules work. Maria is just one of those people who you literally cannot envision being mean to anyone, she is simply the sweetest. Eric likewise is incredibly genuine and so easy going. They really made my job so easy and enjoyable and I went away from the session feeling really lucky that I get to work with people as sincere and kind hearted as them. Didn’t hurt that they are a pretty handsome couple, either

Here are some of my favorites from the session. Enjoy…
