{gracing the stage} cary family photographer

It seems like I've been trying to plan an official photo shoot with this family for over a year now. When you get together with friends almost weekly for park dates, prayer groups, and late night hair coloring sessions, it's sometimes hard to remember to schedule something like this. But here they are finally, not just one of my closest friends, but my husband and children's as well. We sure do love this family!

Just to give a glimpse of what they're like, well, imagine U2's Bono meets Martha Stewart ;-). Yep, oozing with talent and creativity! And although we didn't necessarily plan it, some of my favorite images from this session ended up on the Koka Booth Amphitheater stage, right where they are at home. Enjoy a glimpse of this amazing family!







He already owns the stage doesn't he ;-).


Oh, and this sweet little girl just turned four! A very good reason to celebrate with photos and a huge pink tutu!




And I couldn't leave this series off, he gets my vote for one of the cutest smiles around!
