The family – that dear octopus from whose tentacles we never quite escape,
nor, in our inmost hearts, ever quite wish to
~ Dodie Smith

I love my family sessions, they are the cornerstone of my business! I especially love the Carter family because they are so stinkin sweet! When Rosemary asked me to do a session for her extended family, I was super excited to do that for them do be able to do a session where we kept it all in the family!

During those photo shoots where I know I’ve got a few kids and I want them to blow off some steam, I’ll generally let them run around for a few minutes while we’re getting set up.
I did the same thing at this sessions, only there was a small mis-step and one of the boys ended up falling in the mud and getting pretty much covered… aauugh!!! Talk about my nightmare! (especially since he was in a white shirt!!!)

I felt SO BAD!!!

After a quick pit stop with wardrobe (aka: babywipes ^_^) we got everyone all set and were able to still take some awesome pictures of this wonderful family!

Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your family, especially since we got off to a bit of a stressful start! Enjoy your pictures and the memories we created that day!
