Cozy Family Morning

What do you get for family that you love at Christmas time?

You give the gift of capturing memories and a moment in time – with a fun and cool photographer! (If I do say so myself…!)

Or, at least that’s what Elizabeth and Dave received for Christmas this year.  Elizabeth and Dave’s sister-in-law wanted to give a really special gift this year and gave them a gift certificate for a family photo shoot.

I arrived to their gorgeous open concept and sun-filled living room and was totally enraptured. While the family was happy to go outdoors or anywhere else for the photos, I loved the beautiful natural light coming in from their huge living room windows that looked out onto the backyard.  Elizabeth and Dave have created a warm and inviting home, that I think really reflects them as a family.

I suggested we stay indoors to take advantage of their great space, and for the family to simply relax and have fun together!

You guys… this family knows how to have FUN!

The family went on a bear hunt, made some sculpture art, had a tea party, got turned into animals using a sparkly magic wand, and ate cookies! Throw in some tickles and the giggles were absolutely contagious.

I had such a great time, and was so thrilled to be welcomed into Elizabeth and Dave’s lovely home to enjoy a pretty magical morning.

These kiddos are honestly a pair of the cutest and sweetest sisters I’ve ever met! I still can’t get over their beautiful eyes and their lively and magnetic antics. Not to mention, mom and dad are pretty cool people too. I bet that’s where these two little ladies get it from!
