\"\"<\/p>\n

Last month I went to David and Aimee’s for a family shoot.????At the end of the day, I was post processing their pictures and kept saying to myself “this is not – them – this isn’t what I need to capture here.”??<\/p>\n

I went back to Aimee and told her that I thought we needed to try again.???? We talked about what we wanted and what we needed to get there and we both decided that a more photojournalistic look was going to suit their family better.???? Aimee’s end goal was not necessarily a big canvas print over the mantle.?? She wanted pictures that would save this moment in time.?? Kind of “a day in the life of…” – pictures you can look back on and remember so clearly you can almost relive it for a second.?? You don’t typically get that with a portrait shooting.<\/p>\n

So off we went up north dragging a $40.00 Goodwill couch with us!?? \"\"<\/p>\n

We had an absolutely wonderful day together.?? When Aimee and I look at her picture book in the future, here is what we will remember:<\/p>\n

*?? The race to the couch where Zandi and Zane collided mid air just after the camara snapped.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

*?? The sound of the bugs in the trees.<\/p>\n

*?? The pond that was devoid of all fish but had PLENTY of crawdads!?? (Much to Zane’s delight who said that was HIS FAVORITE).<\/p>\n

*?? The “owl” the kids found.<\/p>\n

*?? Zane’s happy dance when mama caught him a crawdad.?? What does he call them again??? Aimee ate a crawdad once – just for David.?? Not on this trip though thank the Lord.?? Maybe she grew out of that??? LOL<\/p>\n

*?? Zandi’s gorgeous baby blues that have no equal.<\/p>\n

*?? Ty eating WAY too much candy.?? WAY too much.<\/p>\n

*?? David asking me to drive home without an escort because he couldn’t handle my speed up slow down thing anymore.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

*?? Mom and I wondering how we were supposed to know that to go South on the Freeway, you had to take the North exist.?? Who engineered that piece of rocket science??? Sheeshhh.<\/p>\n

*?? Zandi and Zane pouring POURING red crushed pepper on their pizzas.?? And then they ate it without complaint.<\/p>\n

*?? Tanner and Zandi laughing over a silly hat until they were approaching hysteria.<\/p>\n

*?? Finding out that Tori prefers mint chocolate chip to cookie dough ice cream.?? David and Aimee are responsible for this.?? Shocking isn’t it?<\/p>\n

*?? And by a long shot…the best of all…mom and I staring in awe and wonder and David’s bulging biceps in these pictures.?? (See David…I make good on my promises)!!!!?? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I can’t say enough how blessed I am.?? I have the four best brothers in the universe.?? Getting to spend the day with David and Aimee was definitely the kind of day that perfect one’s are made of.?? Love you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And believe you me…there are plenty more where this came from.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
