After the Beautiful Year, the documenting continues!

After completing this family's Beautiful Year in the spring (remember these?), I was hoping to be able to photograph them on my fall Seattle trip ~ and hooray, here they are!  I can't compliment this family enough:  They are always so sweet, the kids are wonderfully fun at their sessions and the boys have the most loving big sister who takes time to read them stories.  In fact, capturing one of these storytime moments turned into one of my very favorite images from this fall.

Also, we've had all four sesions at home and each time I leave, all three kids prop themselves on the back of the couch and wave goodbye as I head down the driveway.  It is just the sweetest sight...Thanks so much, Jason and Cara, for inviting me into your home to photograph your beautiful family.

I love that they invited the nanny in for one of the family portraits ~ so thoughtful and a great memory for everyone.

Beautiful Year I, II and III x Four!

I absolutely love this family and was beyond impressed when W, the mom, called me for portraits last spring. With her hands full, she enthusiastically signed up for the Beautiful Year and I couldn't have been happier! At the first session, the triplets were about 7.5 months old and big sister O was nearing 3. Each session, we work on getting one good portrait of all four sweet kids together and hooray! we've got another one this time!

These guys have all grown leaps and bounds over the year. I remember putting the boys in Bumbos last spring to help them sit together, and now all three are sitting next to their sister on a bench at the park. Big sister O is an amazing little girl, always calm and patient when we're focused on portraits of her brothers, and when it's her turn for photos, she couldn't be more cooperative or cuter. : )

A special thank you goes to W's nanny who came to help us with our Arboretum session and to my husband who came to provide shade for the photos, if needed. Both helped so much with not only the photo work but also just spending time with the kids when I was shooting individual portraits. And of course, thank you so much for a wonderful year of portraits, W & S. I have loved photographing your family this past year and I look forward to the possibility of future sessions on my return trips to Seattle.
