kyndra, tom & kiddos (colorado springs family portraits)

I'm not doing very many family sessions these days, but I just can't get enough of this shoot!  I met up with Kyndra and Tom and their adorable and hilarious little ones for a family portrait session a few weeks ago in Colorado Springs.  One of the things that cracked me up about this session was how alike their daughter and I are  - I felt like I was working with a five-year-old version of myself, same sense of humor and everything :)

Two of my favorite images are below.  Man, Jordan (R) has got the serious-model-smile thing DOWN!  She's so intense - I love it :)

This girl was cracking me up. Constantly.

Thanks again!  You guys are amazing, and tell Jordan I said thanks again for her dinosaur drawing :)

. the morain family .

My shoot with the Morain Family in St. Croix was definitely one of the more fun family shoots I've done.  They had some great ideas, so we started out at the St. George Botanical Gardens, where there are plantation ruins, total lush gorgeousness, and unheard-of flora everywhere.  I'll admit, I never heard of a sausage tree before my visit to the botanical gardens.  Now I know.  Then we headed to Carambola Beach Resort for a lifestyle session, playing on the beach, having drinks, and hanging out in hammocks until sunset.  The very last shot - I promise - was unposed.  I like to think she's really that happy about living :)  Morains- thanks for a wonderful session, for showing us all around the island, and for being so flipping photogenic and lovely people.
