The Kolwinska Family

You may recognize these faces - a sweet family I've photographed numerous times in the past! I was the first one to photograph their little man when he was adopted, over three years ago! Imagine my delight when I heard that their family had grown - yet again! It was SO wonderful to see them again and meet their little princess (she's not so little anymore either)! :) I'll be honest - as much work as it is to photograph families with young children... it is so incredibly rewarding and still totally my absolute favorite! Getting to see and capture  mom and dad play with, cuddle, and love their children? Best job ever. :)

I was so happy with the beautiful day, the beautiful light, and the beautiful images we got to create. Enjoy! :)

What they're really doing is inviting me into their life.

Not in a "Hi, I put on my good face for you today" sort of way...

But a "This is actually what my family truly looks like" sort of way.

And sometimes, those invitations overwhelm me with responsibility.

The honesty...

Personalities...

And REAL moments contained in these shoots...

But sometimes being real and honest isn't all laughter and hugs and smiles.

Sometimes being real and honest is hard work... and might even require some tears and tender moments.

But the results - one family's entire colorful essence wrapped up in images...
