The Smithe Family – Sneak Peek!!!

A while back I took family photos of Maureen and her family.   It is still to this day one of my favorite sessions.  I couldn’t get over the bright, beautiful blue eyes they all had (a photographer’s dream).   Well…now take Maureen’s family and multiply it by 5 and you’ll get the session I’m blogging about today.  Maureen and her sisters planned this AMAZING birthday party for their mom (Mary).  It was the perfect night and the perfect setting and it couldn’t have turned out better.   This family was so much fun to photograph and I’m so happy I got to be there to document this picturesque evening.  So here’s a sneak peek…

This is Mary (the birthday girl) and her grandson Mack…

And then finally…the whole Smithe clan…they are one good looking family….

That’s all I’ve got for now…but there will be MANY more to come…stay tuned….

Man I love these guys…The Macks!

Last week I put up a sneak peak of the Macks…I had mentioned in that post how incredibly hard these photos were to edit.  I have been working on them non stop and I am just now finished!  This is definitely going to be the biggest post…image wise…I’ve ever posted.  So get ready!  🙂

Mallory (the mom in the photos) and I have been friends for a VERY long time.  She is a big part of some of my favorite memories…and I feel so lucky that I got the chance to photograph her family.  It’s so bizarre when I stop to think about it…because when you’re younger you talk to your girlfriends about what your wedding is going to look like and what you’re going to name your kids.  You sit around at sleepovers and plan out your soon to be perfect life….and now…years later…here I am documenting what we used to sit around and day dream about.  I’m going through these photos and looking at her picture perfect (no pun intended) family and her freakin’ adorable little boy and I just can’t help but smile.  The inevitable has come and we are grown ups.  And our picture perfect lives are unfolding in front of us.  So…here is picture proof of what used to seem so far away….Enjoy!

He had the cutest little crooked smile.  He’s gonna be a heart-breaker…

Are they not the cutest father-son duo ever!

There was a giant doughnut in the middle of this park…enough said!  🙂

So in love…

We found this little mini-village and there was a jail.  So cute…

Kids and ice cream….a dynamic duo.

So there they are!   All 24905802345209485 of them!  😉  Hopefully now you can understand why it was so hard to edit these…have a good one!

Kasey and Josh…engaged!!!!

OK…Josh and Kasey’s photos are finally done and I am super excited.   We had a blast taking these.  Our photo shoot started at 8am and the grass (and everything else) was sopping wet!  All of our pants were wet up to our knees and our shoes were filled with water.  But I have to be honest…it kind of made it more fun.  We ran around barefoot and played in a fountain and climbed trees…quite the time I must say.  It’s nice every once in a while to ‘be a kid’ again.  I’m so excited that I got the chance to take these photos (we’ve been trying to get it together since December!) and I’m even more excited for the wedding.  I’ve always wanted a sister and now I’m finally getting one…and she is the best.  I mean what are the chances that my brother marries a girl that is as equally obsessed with High School Musical, celebrity gossip, and Bones  as I am.  One word to sum it all up…jackpot.  OK…enough from me…enjoy!

Did he do a good job or what!!!

Yep…we frolicked in a fountain….

I made them climb a tree…and Josh thought it would be funny to push Kasey off…she did not agree…  🙂

So there you have it.  And I almost forgot I promised to tell you the amazing story of how my bro proposed.  I’ll give you the abridged version.  Kasey was flying to Italy to visit her sister (who is in cooking school over there) and my brother was supposed to go but ended up not being able to at the last minute.  Well…that’s what Kasey thought at least.  So…after she had been there a few days he flies over there with the most beautiful ring ever in hand.   Kasey and her sister were visiting the Piazza de Michelangelo and Josh walks up behind Kasey…who is totally unexpecting…and surprises her with flowers.  Gets down on one knee and proposes…at sunset…in Italy.  I mean seriously…how perfect is that!  Still gives me chills…
