These amazing people happen to be some of my oldest friends since having kids – as our boys (then babies at the time) first met at a Little Gym weekly class when they were just 6 months old. We instantly bonded over our blonde baby boys, and a friendship that has bloomed for 8 years since has blessed us with one more kid each, as well as some home moves, and lots of other fun adventures along the way. I was so honored when her husband contacted me to surprise her with this family session, and I loved getting to plan out the outfits with her, as well as the location.
It has been a dream of mine to photograph at the gorgeous lavender fields in Frederick, Maryland at Springfield Manor for a while now, and it didn’t disappoint! The sun was warm that evening and the lavender field was in full bloom, which made for a perfect summer evening with this crew. These boys are just adorable and full of energy, laughter, smiles and giggles. They were snuggle bugs with their parents, and cracked me up doing the ‘floss’ dance as well as chasing after bees and each other.
This mama and dad were so loving together and sweet with each other and their boys, it was just so lovely to photograph them together in such a summery and beautiful local lavender field. Their outfits were perfect (I mean how cute are the suspenders!!) and I love how the shirt on big brother here picked up the blue of his eyes so well. I loved everything about this session – enjoy these amazing sneak peeks!
