I have known this family for a while and the last time we met, this littlest member was in his mama’s belly. We did this photo session to focus on him at fifteen months, which was about the same age I photographed his older brother. It is so fun to see different personalities of siblings and he was certainly a lot more active than his older brother. We took some photos at home and then headed out to the beach for some play time. The family has a VW Bus that has been a great prop for their images. The black and white image of the family sitting in the van (also the cover image for their album) is one of my favorites. It was one little moment but it speaks volumes of the special bond and the love this family has for one another. I thought I would also include a few images of the family album. I love making these treasures!

I’m an Oklahoma-based wedding and lifestyle portrait photographer.  I recently moved from South Carolina, so starting over in a brand new city has been challenging and exciting.  I love shooting outdoors in nature and love to incorporate a vintage prop or two.

My couple Indi and Andrew had a lot of input in the session.  I love when the couple has ideas and I can challenge myself to incorporate something personal or sentimental to my subjects.  Andrew is a teacher, as well as a photographer.  We incorporated an old typewriter and vintage school desk.  I asked the couple to type something on the typewriter and they chose “Love is Simple,” which describes them, their love, and this session perfectly.  We used the shores of Lake Hefner as a back drop, which at the time was pretty dried up, creating a dried out desert looking platform to shoot.  The woods and wheat grass pictures were also along the shores.
