This family! How I love them so. Joy is a very dear friend of mine, and our kids have grown up together. Having the honor of documenting these kiddos as they grow is amazing! Each year I photograph them I’m blown away about the changes in them, how different they look, how funny and lovely they are. It also helps that this mama has the BEST style when choosing outfits. The Leachman fall family photos is a favourite session of mine!

You can check out a really different session we did together when they chose the beautiful spring blossoms here!

When choosing outfits, it’s best to keep things mostly neutral, and then choose one or two pops of colour. Joy chose yellow, with the cutest skirt for her daughter, and a great shirt for her son that go so well together. That’s the goal! We don’t need you to match, but you do want to “go” together.

We get asked occasionally if people can bring their dog to their session. The answer is yes! It’s best to ask a family member to take over with the dog after they’ve been in some photos, or if you’re comfortable and your dog is friendly, bring a leash and we can tie the dog just out of the shot for some of the photos.

Always such a pleasure hanging out with one of my besties! It never feels like work if we get to hang out, laugh, and capture her gorgeous family.

Love you friend!
