Family Portraits in Brimfield

The holiday season is upon us so that means it’s time for family portraits!  (Who wouldn’t want to see receive a photo card in the mail or some gift-wrapped prints/albums  with new shots of the kiddos right about now?) 

So the other week I meet up with Kristy (Miss Morgan’s mommy!) and her siblings and their kids for some family portraits.  These photos are going to be holiday gifts to their parents though, so SHHHHHHHH…don’t spill the beans! (That means no mention of these to them on the ever popular communication mode, Facebook!) 

 Here are some shots from the afternoon for you to enjoy.

Sweet Miss Mackenzie playing with the toy puppy.

 

The whole fam!

 

Morgan loves her Uncle Corey!

 

The laughing smiles here are in response to how silly it is to even attempt to get the young ones to stay still for a photo!

 

At least we got the adults all looking at me on this one! Haha.

 

Morgan being silly and about to take the camera away from me. She LOVED seeing the photo preview on the LCD!

 

Morgan loved pushing Mackenzie around in the basket!

 

Then she got an opportunity to ride too!

Mackenzie's turn now!

 

And I'll finish off with Kristy, Corey, and Kelly re-visiting a photo pose from their childhood past. 🙂

 Thanks for a fun afternoon!  I hope your family enjoys the holiday photos!

The Staten Family

The other weekend I took a trip out to the Chagrin River Park in Willoughby, to get some photos of Lydia and her kids Tyler, Anna, and Gabe.  Let me just say that after spending the afternoon with them, it made me want to give my sibling a call because the kids made me reminescent of all the childhood antics my brother and I used to pull on each other growing up.  🙂  To be young again and have the hours disappear in all the fun games we came up with!

Tyler showing his first place victory with the race across a very cool bridge at the park.

 

Anna tries to cheer up her brother Gabe when he didn't quite run a 1st place race.

 

Both mother and daughter look breath-taking in shades of red.

 

Surprisingly, this loving interaction between siblings was NOT followed with a tackle or tickle!

Nothing says childhood fun like getting dizzy on the Merry-Go-Round!

 

Or "flying" on a swing!

 Thanks Staten family for letting me hang out with you guys for the morning!  I had a blast!
