I’m always so pleased when a family chooses to make time for professional photography together, especially when it’s outdoor family photos at a pretty park. All too often, mom and dad only think of getting photos of their children. Family photos create something wonderful to treasure. After all, our family is how we learn about ourselves and the world when we’re little, and they’re always a part of us. It makes me think of the poem Family Is Like a Circle by Nicole M. O’Neil:

A family is like a circle
the connection never ends
and even if at times it breaks
in time it always mends
a family is like the stars
somehow they’re always there
families are those who help
who support and always care
A family is like a book
the endings never clear
but through the pages of the book
their love is always near
A family is many things
with endless words that show
who they are and what they do
and how they teach you so you know
but don’t be weary if it’s broken
or if through time its been so worn
families are like that—
they’re split up and always torn
but even if this happens
your family will always be
they help define just who you are
and will be apart of you eternally

For these outdoor family photos, it threatened to rain in the early part of the shoot. However, we decided to go with it anyway and I brought a cute umbrella prop to match the weather for the little girl. Everything turned out great. I photographed this girl as a baby and it is fun to see her so grown up now!
