{ Playing in the Rain }

You might remember these cuties from last year – we did a session back in spring ’08. They were one of my first family sessions that spring, on my old blog. Then, another first – I photographed the birth of their youngest, little Jamison on October 7th of last year. That experience still sticks with me, reminds me of what a miracle life is, and what a gift we as photographers can give to another family.

Now here they are a year later, this big happy cozy family of six! It was so fun to meet up with them again and spend the afternoon with the kids, stomping around in the rain and twirling umbrellas. We all got wet and muddy, but laughed all the way through. I think it’s good for the soul to get wet and muddy every now and then. Don’t you think?  :)

Fierce poses!  Omigosh, I could barely stand it!  Yes!!  :)

I always like to get a few individuals of the kids, especially when they’re this cute!

This is Malikai:

The adorable Tiler:

Bennett, who has grown up SO much since last time!

And lovely little Jamison, just a year old!

And mom too!

Rockin’ out those fierce poses!

I love this one – it reminds me of a mama duck with her little chicks tottering behind.  :)

We’re not scared of rain.  Nope, nope.

We’re not even bothered by rain on our glasses  :)

Daddy too!

Thanks for a fun day, guys!  You’re awesome.  Happy Fall Everyone!   :)k
