It's Friday night and while most of our non photographer/non wedding industry friends are winding down for the weekend, we are typically either gearing up for a wedding or lifestyle session, editing, processing or like tonight, building a client's first family album.  

This process is always exciting for us as we know this will be enjoyed by the family for years to come -- which is also why it takes time, thought, and requires both our eyes and attention.  There is no set formula, but just like an artist, we are not satisfied until it we are both completely happy with the final finished product. 

We recently photographed a 1yr old baby girl from a past wedding client and it's always such a pleasure to be asked to capture their family's photos!  It just hit us what an awesome privilege we have to build relationships with our couples and not only to get see them grow as a family, but to continue to photograph them.

Here is a spread from their family album that we wanted to share: sort of a sneak peek to their session.  We don't always work with a theme for a lifestyle or family session, but in this case, when her parents told us that Alyssa loves to shop for clothes, we knew we had to include shopping as part of her session!

This moment was too cute not to have it's own page! :)

Happy friday, everyone!

Much love,
Mary (& Sam)
