That thing that couples do

It is without a doubt my favorite part of a family shoot.  As one client put it, I'll be "capturing the chaos that is their family" with kids running around having a blast when I'll turn to the parents to grab a few quick shots of just the two of them.

All of a sudden everything else will fade into the background.  The two of them will look at each other, not say a word, and just smile.  Or they might make a funny face.  Or they might exchange a sweet kiss.  Whatever it is, I find that moment is pure magic.  They've seen better and worse, sickness and health, a dirty diaper or two or two hundred, and lots of leftovers for dinner.  And they still have eyes for only each other.  *Happy sigh*.  And that friends is why I love what I do. I get to capture those moments!

Here are some more fun moments captured with this incredible family:

Snowscapes

Down south we get excited when we see snow flurries, so you can imagine that when a foot of snow fell last week, we had no idea how to act, case in point this picture.

I did enjoy trouncing around in the snow and capturing some fun shots.

It was of course even better to get home and dry off my soaking socks and sneakers...this southern girl wasn't quite prepared for the weather!
