I met this beautiful family at 8am in North Park on the morning of their portrait session. 

I am still impressed that Ashlee was able to get her family of five including a 6-year-old, 5-year-old, and 3-year-old photo ready, out the door, and to North Park so early in the morning!

We started the session with formal family portraits, but it didn't take long for the kiddos to get comfortable and start showing off their little personalities!

I just love the sweetness in these images of the 3 kids together!

Then it was time for the children's individual portraits!

The best part about North Park is how huge it is! We can drive a couple of minutes down the road to find a location with a very different look! It was also the perfect time to try some different groupings and get some more informal and fun portraits to really capture everyone's personalities and connections! Isn't this just the cutest photo of these brothers with their arms around each other??

One set of shots that not all families want but that I think is super sweet to get is images of Dad with all the kids and then separately of Mom with her babies.

I just love the candid moments. I believe that homes should be filled with portraits like the one above and the two below that truly show what a happy and love-filled family they are!

Finally we found one of the North Park bridges to capture individual portraits of each parent with each child.

It was a joy not only to meet this family but to be able to provide this very busy mama with these sweet portraits of her kiddos and family.

Feel free to check out more images in my Families Portfolio, or send me a message if you're ready to chat about scheduling your own family portrait session! I would be honored to capture your family's history while it's happening.
