Cheers to New Friends!

I am so lucky to have recently befriended this super fun family in our neighborhood. Jack and Aston are both golfers and about 6 months apart, Stell and Kingsley are both ballerinas only a few months apart and man oh man little Brinkley the sweetest 1 year old I e.v.e.r did see. I've heard such horror stories about shooting 1 year olds but she was an absolute g.e.m. As you can see she pretty much stole the show. The sun decided to join us just when we thought we could get away with a 3pm photo shoot...but the kids really did rally even with sun rays stinging their little eyes.

Thank you Ashley (check out her post on the shoot here!) for giving me the opportunity to capture your stunning family at play in your beautiful backyard! Just hope John wasn't too late for his Giants game:) Here are my faves from the day...

Kate - these.are.awesome!!!!!!!!! There are so many good shots, I especially love the ones of the kids sitting down and goofing off with each other, the ones of dad and Brinkley, the whole fam and the rocking chairs, Dad and Mom sitting on wall, b/w of Jack and Kingsley in rocking chairs (sorta feels like a very old photo - early 1900s?) All in all, a fantastic job; you should be super super proud!

Ashley said...

love, love all the pictures!! Thanks again so much Kate!!! You did a wonderful job of capturing both the intended shots, and those sweet moments in between - the girls kissing, the big two wrestling, the baby digging into the marshmallows!! Can't get enough of their little feet, and oh the one of Kingsley and me laughing together...love. So happy to have so many wonderful ones of brinkley especially, who is often neglected in photos being the poor 3rd child! Ha!
Thanks again, and yes...cheers to new friends!!
