I have known this family for years — and I was so excited when Rachel mentioned she wanted to setup a family session in their own backyard! Lizzie is growing so fast, and really has developed a personality all her own. I also love when the shoot incorporates things the family does together, and in this case picking veggies/fruits from the garden, being by the pool, and pushing around a stroller does just that. Rachel also saw a concept she wanted to do, and I love it! I photographed their wedding 5 years ago, so for this “anniversary” they wanted a family picture while holding an 8×10 from their wedding. In another 5 years, we will take this years’ photo and photograph the family holding IT…and so on, and so on!
Enjoy the slideshow of images…and know that the word in the sidewalk-chalk-heart is “Agape” (ah-GAH-pay)Â which means “Unconditional Love”!
