The first post today was SUPER fall, so let’s jump seasons to be in the present! Ethan and Carly were one of my first wedding couples, back when Daniel and I were just baby wedding photographers. Since then they’ve added two precious babies to their family and it was so much fun having their crew in front of the camera again.

I love when families have realistic expectations about the stage of life their littles and family are in and Carly definitely did. With a two year old and a 3-month old you can sometimes be playing with fire with the pressure of a camera comes out, Carly was so chill with everything and it made all the difference with what we were able to get of the girls.

Smiles! Smiles all around, and only a couple of breakdowns during the session — for those of you who don’t have children, minimal tears during photos with littles under the age of 5 is a Christmas miracle in itself!

I personally love how classically this session captures the Christmas season and stays true to the personality of their family.

Leah was a BIG fan of drinking hot chocolate out of the mugs. I think she single-handedly polished off have of the drinks herself.

Again, that real-life look every husband has received from their wife. Love it!
