Family photos… with gingerbread cookies.

Sarah really wanted her family portraits outside this year, so we rescheduled a few times to get the best possible December-in-Missouri weather, and I’m so glad we did! We ended up with a sunny, 50-degree day — perfect for outdoor photos! The boys are so incredibly cute, and they were so great during the session and gave me lots of material to photograph. Towards the end of the shoot, Sarah mentioned that they were going to make gingerbread cookies later, and I suggested they start while I was still there, so I could photograph them doing everyday yet holiday-themed things. It was so much fun!

Time for cookie cutting!

I’m sure I’ve said it before, and I’m positive I’ll say it again: I love shooting family photos in a family’s home! Since my style of photography is more of a documentary format, I love being able to do little mini-documentaries of families doing what they do best — being themselves! I approach family portraits just like I do a wedding day — I seek to capture details, emotions, and little moments shared between people who love each other.

This family is adorable. The boys are just so cute, and were so much fun to spend time with — I loved hearing their stories and capturing their personalities. This family knows how to play together, too. It was so great to watch them all interact and have fun as a family — and capture photos of it! Here are a few of my favorites from their session at home:
