My mom turned 58 in March. I’m pretty sure she has not had any birthday parties in about 10 years or something crazy like that. So, I decided to throw her a surprise with her friends and some family.

Patrick and I are excited to post this family shoot. Stephanie Felton is amazing. This was a neat shoot because we tied in anniversary and family into one shoot. Stephanie and Johnny celebrate 10 years of marriage this October. Stephanie was one of our wedding coordinators at our wedding and helped us out so much the day of. As a way to say THANK YOU, we offered to photograph their family in exchange for all her help. She and her family were so appreciative and planned on the shoot for weeks! 

Family shoots are always so fun to shoot… they are always full of laughter, trying new stuff, and getting babies or kids to sit still… even if for a few seconds.

Belinda is a friend of my mine and I’ve known her family for a couple years. She has three precious beautiful girls: Cora (11), Catalena (7), and Calleigh (16months).

Belinda wanted to get pictures of her girls for Easter, but little did she know how much fun we would have doing it! We headed to Sherwood Gardens, where Patrick and I had our engagement pictures a little over a year ago. Here’s the outcome of our time together!
