We had a blast photographing this year's celebration of Burns Night, during a collaboration between Ackroyd's Scottish Bakery and Urbanrest Brewing Company in Ferndale. Kilts. Haggis. Story time. Bagpipers. Brews. Need we say more? 

Because this family chose an awesome location (which also happens to be where they got married!), we were warm and toasty during this shoot despite it being cold outside. And this session gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling, because this family is so relaxed and joyful and funny. Perfection. So great to see you again, M family!

Moe and Mona are always SO adorable, and SO entertaining - I'm still smiling over a week later! Bonus points to mama for her AMAZING color coordination - she literally matched their outfits to her favorite trees! Impeccable. So great to see you guys, as always!

THREE BOYS! My cousin Melissa and her crew are always a blast to photograph and this time was no exception. Gorgeous fall color at their home rounded out a super fun session.

P.S. I LOVE what I call "chaos shots," because let's face it: that's what life is like when you have small children. Just pure, unadulterated chaos. This first image exemplifies a "chaos shot," because everyone is doing their own thing...and I love it! SO REAL.

I LOVED meeting this family for the first time, photographing them, and documenting their bond. That's the only way to describe it, they just had a really sweet bond and it was my good fortune to capture it. There was so much love here (including the American Sign Language variety ;-)) - check it out!
