How has it been six years of me capturing this family?! Time is going way too fast! I always go to Portland, Oregon for family sessions once a year. It is where I went to college and lived for four years. Some of my dearest friends and family live there, so it's always a blast! This family is one of the very firsts who trusted in me and my work so long ago! It has been incredibly fun to watch them grow. I wanted this session to really show them as a family...their personalities and reality with a group of kiddos. I let the kids really "hang out" and spend time with their siblings. Meltdowns happened (see the last image), but that's life! It's always a pleasure to see a glimpse into each family during their sessions!
