I was so excited when I got the email that this little girl’s mom had scheduled a session with me. When I arrived at their house that little shy girl that I remember so clearly was gone and in her place was this vibrant girl ready to show me all around and smile and pose for me. We started out our session in her playroom where she put on a tea party for her mom and dad.

Later we went downstairs to read some books and she told me the story of The Patch. I loved peeking in as mom and dad both took turns reading to her.

After reading and enjoying some time indoors we headed out into the unseasonably warm January weather. Played some peek a boo and ran around in what was left of the snow.

After some scooter and bike riding we settled on the front steps for some fun and snuggly shots.

I just loved this shot of the three of them together. I enlisted the help of Miss M to get her parents to smile as I took some photos of just the two of them and she was all too happy to run up and give them both a big bear hug after we had finished.

Enjoy your little peek, there are many more to come C Family!

Once you’ve got that winter session scheduled…what do you wear? Below is a great example of a coordinated family that isn’t overly matchy-matchy. The group lends itself to a great look when everyone is together as well as good pairings and individual shots. Please remember to take a look at past what to wear ideas because even if the clothing isn’t what you have in mind or if you’re a family of 7 instead of an engaged couple – there are still great ideas on colors palettes and pattern mixing.

Could this little sweetheart’s grin be any cuter? I was so happy to get big grins from her this time

And…the eyes on older sis are just to die for. She was a great little model for me, posing and doing anything I needed.

I loved this image of the four of them together. Not the typical everyone smiling and looking. Mom and dad smiling and talking, big sis posing and looking on while little sis is content to be in moms arms.

And the evening wouldn’t be complete without a good old leaf fight

If you and your family are still needing fall or winter photographs, email carrieowensphotography@gmail.com today to set up your session!

Seriously…those cheeks. Those eyes.

Big brother with his gorgeous blue eyes and sweet smile, patiently waiting until all is ready to get some shots of the two of the boys together.

And one of my very favorite shots of the two boys…there are several more, but this one was one of my faves!

grateful for him:

and for her:

and for this one, too:

good things do come in threes.
