Celebrating Family: Atlanta Portrait Session

Regina had it all planned out...not only would this be a great way to celebrate Mother's Day for her, her little sister and her Mom...but her parents (Gene & Betty...aka Papa & Nana) also have an anniversary coming up...40 years- Wow!!!
Regina, Robert and Aidan are already like family to me so I was excited to meet the rest of the clan... and have two more boys to throw into the mix :) Oh, what fun we had! Within the first few shots I new that Brody and Logan were going to keep us all on our toes- and they did!

Little Aidan is just so darn cute and sweet, I can not believe how fast he is growing. It's amazing at how fast the time flies by and it's nice to be able to freeze a few moments so at least in a photograph time will stand still.
We wrapped up with the kids having fun snuggling up to Nana and Papa...I thought Aidan was going to check out and be done for the morning, but after a fun break with Daddy he tolerated a few more :)
Robert, Regina and Aidan- thank you so very much for inviting me to capture all these wonderful moments of you and your family. I love you all very much and all our time together!Nana, Papa, Karen, Richard, Brody and Logan thank you also for a great time and lots of fun. I hope you all had a Mother's Day to remember!

Big Day with the V.I.P.'s

Today I spent the day with some very important people...
My boys, nephews and niece!

My vacation officially started today and the kids are out of school for spring break...the perfect excuse to head out to the river to play and ride the country back roads on the golf cart :)

They piled on (and off) running the roads themselves much of the way on our trip to the pond to visit the fishies and new little alligator (did not see the gator, though).
They had a blast together and I enjoyed listening to their conversations and laughter. When we got back to Grami's house they ran around the yard some more just being big goofs and having soooo much fun, all these pictures are things they actually did on their own. If you know anything about our family it is that the kids have a mind of their own and anything you tell (or ask) them to do you can pretty much count on the opposite result. So, I snap fast and just tell them I don't want to take their picture...so of course they ham it up :)Happy Birthday wishes to Noah, Ace and Reese {Hudson, Noah and Reese are in the above pic}

...they are all growing too fast!{Kaleb rests in the grass after a long run back home and Ace quickly copies him...he loves the camera!}

What a great day and wonderful start to a much needed vacation!
