That is what these pictures give me because I can just hear all the girls giggling when I look at these pictures.  This family loves to laugh (which is why I love to be around them!) and you can tell by just looking at their smiles!

 

I learned something new, too.  My friend, who is Finnish, informed me that the “family on the front step” picture is a uniquely American pose.  So, here you go, Kata…..you are officially American!

And kids still want to do the same thing….play in the sand, of course!  I took pictures for a good friend of mine and seeing this one made me smile!  Those girls were good to go along with all of my directions, “Stand here!  Smile!  Can you stand here?  Look here!” (some of those will get posted later) but they were so relieved when we told them, “Ok, you can play in the sand!”  I love the look between Mom & Dad here:

                                  

It was here last week and luckily I got in two family fall sessions before the snow.  The first session was with this sweet, perfect family.  They are always so easy to work with and this time was no exception.  In fact, they are all so cooperative and good-looking that I hardly had to spend much time editing!  (Thanks for making my job so fun and easy!)

This next one is easily one of my favorite pictures ever….doesn’t she have a great smile?

And sorry humans, the dog was totally stealing the show in this picture (can you tell I love dogs?).  Look at his patient expression!

One of just the girls!

And a couple of just mom and dad!  We even got dad to give his real smile (I am pretty sure he is laughing in the first one!), right Kim?  I love the last one and the way she is looking back at him.

Thank you guys!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful, personal, and unique wedding with me!  Many blessings for the journey!
