When you get married, you gain a whole new family! I happen to think my second family is pretty much the greatest. 

Sunil's oldest sister lives in North Carolina and we spent Thanksgiving at their beautiful home with their adorable two children. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do family photos for them!! :)

LOVE those snuggles!

That pony tail!! 

We didn't venture far for their photos, but instead decided to utilize their gorgeous property and the abundant fall leaves. 

Chris and Monica, thank you SO much for letting Sunil and I join your family for Thanksgiving!! I had so much fun doing your photos - I hope you love them! :)

When I arrived and we were getting ready to start our photo session, Amanda told me that her family had never had photos taken. 

I knew instantly that this wold be special. 

I love being able to capture photos of real life interactions and life as it unfold.... but it means so much more to me when I know that these people will get to receive precious memories of their family. 

Of laughter... 

Snuggles... 

Serious faces... 

Time with mama... 

And playtime with daddy! 

I loved seeing their family relax - like they were unraveling in front of me and as they decided to stop and enjoy time together. 

Brian and Amanda, thank you SO much for allowing me to photograph your family! You guys are MODELS and I loved getting to meet you and your precious family. :)
