There aren't many families who giggle as much as they do. 

It starts with mom and dad, and quickly the infectious laughter makes its way to their children. 

In a home where laughter and adventures are encouraged.... 

Personality flourishes!! (Can't you tell??)

Photographing these crazy four is always such a wild and wonderful event, and I barely have to tell them what to do! 

When we got to our location, this little man came right over and immediately thanked me for photographing his family - apparently he enjoys being in front of the camera... :) 

When choosing the location for our shoot, we wanted a place with unique texture and wide open spaces for the evening sun to stream in. Parking garages may seem like ugly buildings, but photography is all about light, and this place had heaps of soft, lovely sunshine! 

Not to mention lots of giggles! 

So sweet!

I put the kids in charge of helping me make mom and dad smile, but these lovebirds don't need any encouragement. Joy just bubbles out! 

A photo shoot isn't complete without some solid snuggles! 

Erin and Travis, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your lovely family yet again! It's always such a privilege to watch and document the graceful way you interact with your children. Love you guys! :)

Their life right now is a glorious blur. 

With identical twin toddlers underfoot, selling their house, packing, buying a new one, and moving all in one weekend, these two are rockstar parents. (Look at all that adulting!)

In the midst of the craziness, we found time to meet up on my latest trip to Minnesota (email me if you want to know my next MN dates!) for some updated photos of their 14 month old twins! 

Who continue to win me over with their sweet smiles, red hair, and.... 

Their squishy little feet of course! 

Taking time to breathe and play is what makes family sessions the most real and relaxing. 

Taking time to allow children to explore and discover and taste and jump and play and be children. 

I had the privilege of photographing Erik and Elizabeth's wedding almost three whole years ago! And boy oh boy, how time flies! 

As a photographer you get to watch families develop and grow over the years, and it's been so fun to see these two become parents to their little boys. 

Also, how amazing is it that little twin boys can have such different personalities?? They may look the same, but they definitely have such amazing features that make them incredibly unique. 

Just look at those faces... :) 

Married for three years and still love to cuddle!! 

I'll be honest: just when I could easily tell the twins apart, mom and dad decided to change their outfits and I got completely messed up again! 

(Speaking of shirts, aren't those Wild One shirts adorable?? I want twelve.)

Erik and Elizabeth, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your family yet again!! It's such a privilege to document your life and I can't wait to see your new house in person soon! :)
