Smith Family Portraits

by Liana on May 12, 2013

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of documenting a glimpse of a day-in-the-life of the Smith family.  Their daughter is not too much older than our son Atticus and it was so fun to see how interactive and mobile she is – a glimpse of what is to come so soon for us!

We started off with some fun time chasing bubbles outside with mom…

Sometimes it’s candid moments like these where the true joy really shows through – these tend to be my favorite of an entire session.

We were going to have some quiet reading time in the bedroom next, but baby girl had better plans.  Dance party on the dresser was on the top of her to-do list…20Candid ToddlerFamily Portrait

This last image in black & white is a re-make of an image she took as a baby with her own mother.  So fun to try to emulate a photo that is so precious to their family.

Tomeika’s Maternity Portraits

by Liana on May 8, 2013

You may remember Tomeika & Aron from their fun engagement session about three years ago.  Or their wedding photography or cinema from two years ago.  I was so thrilled to hear the news that they are expecting … and better yet…. expecting TWINS!!   These two have been a blessing to have in our lives and I can’t wait to meet their baby girl and baby boy soon too.  They are going to be such awesome parents!!
