How many people get to do what they love AND hang out with amazing people at the same time? Not many...which is why I feel so fortunate to be following my dream and doing just that. I feel even more lucky when dear old friends get in touch and want me to photograph their family. In this case with Kari Chambers (she will always be Kari Hesselbach to me!), I hadn't even met her family yet! So of course I just couldn't wait to see what they were all like. It was no surprise they were all just as sweet as Kari, and she hit the jackpot with Jason, I could tell instantly he was a keeper! I found out when they arrived that it was her son Parker's FIRST BIRTHDAY. How cool that I got to photograph him on his actual birthday...awesome :) He's so close to walking so he was up and down all morning (I bet he took a good nap that day!) in his little Sambas...first thing I noticed ;) Then Audrey...who is a spitting image of her mom...was just full of personality and posing it up like crazy as you will see.
We had more beautiful weather at Forest Park...started out a bit chilly but soon the sun was out in full force and it was just perfect for our session as you will see from my faves below!
Kari, thank you so much for choosing me to take your family photos, it meant a lot to me! It was so great to see you and meet your family, hopefully you guys had just as much fun as I did. Hope Parker's 1st birthday party was a success and that he had lots of cake and ice cream :)
