I met Kristen at a party at my sister’s house a few years back.  She’s one of those people that is instantly likable and you’re left feeling like, “hmm…I could totally see myself being friends with her outside of this party.  I wonder if that would be weird for me to say to her?  I should probably not come off as stalkerish and leave that thought alone.” Ha Ha Ha!  I decided it might be weird, but we did exchange information after she found out that I did photography.  Fast forward about a year and a half, and Kristen reached out to me to do family photos for her!  I was so happy to hear from her and to get the opportunity to capture her adorable little growing family.   

I was so excited when the date was approaching because the weather was going to be gorgeous and it was going to be perfect weather for photos.  And then guess what?  I got that nasty bug that was going around and there was just no way I could do the shoot when we originally planned.  Thankfully, this family is so awesome and flexible that they were totally ok with the reschedule when I was healthy again!

Layla is the adorable little toddler you see here.  We actually met on the morning of Hallowen for this photoshoot and she was pretty excited to tell me all about what she and her sister were being and what she intended to say.  It was hard for me to actually concentrate on what she was saying because I was so focused on her cuteness and fabulous style!

And this adorable little baby?  Her name is Kate.  Sooo, extra brownie points for her as well as Kristen and Andy because CLEARLY Kate is an awesome name.  Plus, hello, look at those eyes!!  This brown eyed Katie is totally jealous of that little blue eyed baby Kate!

Andy and the girls interact and get along so well.  Obviously, this is good for so many reasons, but Andy’s going to be outnumbered in the girl vs. boy department for some time, so it’s a good thing that things are going so well!  And if there wasn’t enough girly business happening already, he had his sister, Susannah, join us for a part of the shoot as well.  You know how Mom’s get — even as grown adults they want photos of THEIR babies together!  

Thank you so much for spending your Halloween morning with me and soaking up the last of the fall foliage!
