If you’ve followed along with me on Facebook, you’ve probably noticed that Lincoln Brick Park is my new location love. And while it was gorgeous in all of its fall color glory, it has a different kind of magic in the winter. We were able to sneak this session in during the short winter snowfall at the end of November before everything melted away. I have a good feeling that I’ll be back here again for more.

Four-year-old Nadine is filled with a goofy, sweet joy. She brought such a smile to my face and made me so excited to watch my own little girl (soon to be girls) grow into an amazing little talking person.

I get questions sometimes about the difference between mini sessions (30 minutes) and full sessions (one hour). The main difference really comes down to how many locations you want to make it to. This family session was done in about 20 minutes during a mini marathon I did earlier this month, and we ended up with 50 images, all taken within one main area. For families with young children, mini sessions have been perfect.

Now can I talk about how photogenic this family is? I love this set, and I had so much fun watching the older girls interact with the little one.

When Jasmine contacted me to schedule a mini session with herself and her brother as a surprise gift to give to her dad on Father’s Day, I figured that I would be meeting a pair of adult siblings. I was surprised and delighted to find Jasmine and her four-year-old little brother, Ivan, waiting for me before our session. These two have the sweetest relationship, which completely shows in these photos, and I don’t know if I’ve ever come across a young woman with so much maturity and thoughtfulness for her family.

And that location! That light! I could basically shoot there location every day.
