{Sweet Light} Sheridan, Wyoming Family Photographer

I have been trying to get Part Two of this family’s session up on my blog for days, but unfortunately some sickness and other lovely things came my direction this past week.  My little man is back in the croup season and I am, well, tired.  ha.  Poor kid can’t seem to escape the middle-of-the-night wake up calls, the seal-like barking, and the inevitable fight for oxygen.  We ended up in the ER many times last winter, but have become wiser with Albuterol and Pulmacort; thank heavens for modern-day meds!!  We’re surviving, nonetheless, and I am finishing up Christmas cards, orders, albums, and the like in the meantime before I can step back from the computer and just ENJOY my Christmas this year.  =)

Anyway, I was so excited about these images.  I just love the interactions, their beautiful property which will someday house their new home, and the LIGHT.  Oh, sweet light.  I will admit I was fighting with the sun that day as it shifted constantly during our session; one minute I’d have everything set up in this beautiful spot while the sun was tucked behind the clouds, and before I could even press the shutter, BAM, blinding sun!  I think we worked it out though.  Aside from the unpredictable sun and the cold temps, I think we stole away some very beautiful moments.

And perhaps my personal favorite from their session: (does this not represent every single family with little children?!)  I am a firm believer in “perfectly imperfect” photographs as these are the REAL moments we want to remember with our children.  With our loved ones.  At least these are what I want to remember when I’m 80.  ;)

***AND IN THE SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING…***

If you’re so inclined, let me know which image is your favorite in the comment section below, and I will give this family a complimentary 8×10 of whichever one is mentioned the most!  =)

Thanks to this fun family, and I should be back this week with some pictures of my own kiddos.  I got a present from Santa today and so my girlie and I went on a photo adventure this afternoon.  {{LOVE HER.}}  =)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

    I really love them all, but my FAVORITE is the same one that is your favorite! :) I can completely relate! Not only does it show “real life” but I love how it shows how little the kiddos are! So cute and what a good lookin’ family!

    Oh I just love these! The light is beautiful- so is the location- and what a beautiful family. The girls’ polka dot shirts are so darling too! Hope your litle one feels better! Croup is no fun. :( and I hope you are getting some rest between all this too! Happy Thanksgiving!

    I love the portrait one of the whole family with the little girl holding on to mom and dad’s jeans. You can feel the love in that one! It’s so warm and natural! Beautiful pictures!!
