This is going to be a huge post!

I have to tell you that I wanted to post every single photo from this session that I did late last summer for my dear friends. (they can be seen here and here, and there's little Molly's birth too -) Virg wanted a truly casual, lets-hang-out-and-see-what-we-get-no- pressure session, and it was the most fun I had all year.

Shall we?

such a good mama.

 

a smile and a tear. this is the world of a two year old.

 

there were loads of other shots of the two of them, but frankly, they are a little steamy and seemed too private to post. :)

This one is easily my favorite from the session. The whole year, perhaps. (You can click on the photo to see it BIG in another window)

Love that they turned out so well, love that Virg could see her beautiful family the way others do and that I could sit with her as she went through them. That they were just what she wanted. I love doing this.

Completely inspired

I only spent a few hours with them, but I went away feeling like I can totally do this parenting thing. That it's going to have a good outcome, that all this parenting really matters.I really enjoy meeting people that have older sons than mine, particularly older teens. I think it's a fascinating age. Children turning into adults. It was great to meet this family, and they were just so cool. You could see that mom and dad thought their kids were really cool people, and not just their kids. It made me excited for the years to come with all our boys. That they will turn into men...wow.

love this one!

me: ok, everyone on their stomachs, and look natural.

them: natural? um, we don't really lie down on the grass as a family a whole lot...

me: right. ok, we'll have to pretend.

 

 

 

 

brother: who jumped the highest?

me: your sister.

brother: ok, let's do it again.

It was lovely to tour around their property, where they have raised these great kids {adults}, and take a whole bunch of pictures.
