Never.the.less, here is the Phillip’s Familia.  Fun parents and really cute parents make for great pics.  Her girls seriously give me stiff competition on my Bon-qui-qui impersonation!  Jess, thanks for having me!  I told you I love candid and these pics make me love them even more!6

They are a little more blonde that the Osbornes you might have seen on reality TV. Tasha is one of my best friends in the whole world! She and her hubby, Josh, are expecting their second little boy in about a month! :) While I was in the upstate, they drove up from Georgia to have some family pictures. We had fun picking up all the fun props that would keep Stone entertained the entire shoot.

I definitely want to start doing my family shoots with small children with more props. They are just so much fun! I’m already getting some great ideas that would make for some awesome photos, so if you would like to book head on over to the contact portion of the page and email away. Requirements: You must be fun, up for anything, love to laugh, and be a kid @ heart! :)

Love you Osbornes, can’t wait to meet ________________!

People would apologize to me when they used bad language in front of me and would whisper ARRRROUND me about what went down over the weekend, or my supposed perfection drove them crazy enough that they were dying to see me do something imperfect. :)

It is still funny to me. I never got it. I was FAR from perfect. In fact, I hate perfection. I hate when people fake perfection. I hate when people fake faking perfection. I’m a realist. I like to be real. I like people to be real with me. I like to be real with people. If you ever want to know where I suck at life ask me, I’ll give you an earful. :)

As a photographer, my favorite pics are the ones that are not perfectly posed, without fake emotion or smiles. I like real photos. Real family moments. Real mishaps. Real laughs. Real emotion. Real love. Real excitement. Real tears. To me, that is what being a photographer is all about. Capturing who your subject is past the fake smile. Capturing true love behind the kiss. Capturing confidence and beauty behind the perfect pose.

With all that said, take a look at the Eads’ family pictures. Bless their hearts, they are troopers who were on a mission! They braved the rain, like literally we were taking pictures in the rain, to capture memories of their growing family. Going through the photos, I laughed (a lot), I awwwwww-ed, I smiled, and some (because of the weather conditions) I quickly tossed! The weather might not have been perfect, but the love and joy of the their family was real!

To the Eads’: I’m sorry that mother nature decided not to cooperate, :/ and that some of the pictures I wanted to come out the most, decided to have big fog screens over them or raindrops in front of them. But the imperfect photos I’m posting are some of my favorites I’ve ever shot. Please let me know when you are all back down again, and I would be happy to shoot again for nothing.

I really hope you forgive me for posting this one, but I laughed and laughed at this series.  I love them.  :) Seriously.

This one was the best family photo.  The rest were affected by the weather severely, and if you look close you can see the raindrops in this one as well.  :(

I love all the kid photos.  They are so precious (the photos and the kids :)

Had to post two of this little man. I’m so jealous of those curls!

This one could be an actress.  Her face had a different expression in EVERY photo. :)
