I first met Caitlyn, her husband and their little one back in December when I hosted my fourth annual Christmas mini sessions. I’m honored they came back for a full session with the addition of Caitlyn’s sweet parents! Sweet is an understatement! Everyone came to the session with a smile on their face and even little Carter. 🙂 I was very impressed that he carried that smile until the final photo of the evening! It’s rare to photograph a kid for the entire session without feeling exhausted from the camera time. Haha! We kept him entertained by playing in fields, flowers and even climbing fences! What boy wouldn’t like that kind of atmosphere? I loved getting to know this adorable family! There were many moments throughout our time together I just kept thinking, gosh I love what I do!!! 🙂

Thank you Caitlyn and family for a FABULOUS time Friday!!! 🙂 You all were so much fun to photograph! Enjoy a preview from our time together!! XOXO!
