Larisa + Eric : Anniversary

by 8 Comments

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since Larisa and Eric’s wedding day! When Larisa contacted us about coming up to Philadelphia for a family session with her sweet parents and an anniversary session with Eric, I was over the moon! I wish these happened more often- Such a fun way to keep up with our couples and oh, what a difference a year makes! We had fun catching up about our respective moves (them to FL, us to TN), new homes, and of course, our adorable pups!

This session was such a reminder to ME that it’s time for Nate and I to book a session for ourselves! This December marks 5 years of wedded bliss for us, and I want to capture our life now– In the midst of the madness and before kiddos. :) It’s always easy to find a million excuses to put it off- mainly because of my own body issues, but every year I regret not doing it, and I kinda want to get in the habit before we have a family, because those are years I definitely don’t want to miss!

It kinda makes me want to promote anniversary mini sessions for our past couples… Any takers? ;)

I absolutely loved downtown Philly!

I should have watched Rocky before I visited, though. Next time!

You guys are gorgeous.

Cute shoes meant sore feet for Larisa, but she was a total trooper- and there’s nothing wrong with ending a shoot with a piggy back ride! Come back tomorrow for Larisa’s family session! :)

Brooke + Chris = Lucy + Eli

Brooke and Chris were one of our very first weddings. It’s hard to believe it’s been 5+ years and now they’re parents of twins! When Brooke first wrote us asking about scheduling a session with her two year olds, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was a bit, well… Scared to death! But when Nate reminded me how amazing Brooke and Chris are and assured me we’d be just fine, I started to come around to the idea. And then got really, really excited. :)

It’s always been my dream to have twins. In fact, on one of Nate and my first dates, I announced that if I ever had twins, I’d keep one and give away the other and have them find each other when they’re 12, Parent Trap style. Don’t worry; I was only a little serious. ;) The closer to maybe-parenthood I get, the scarier twins seem. I still think it’s a dream of mine, but after spending just a smidgen of time with Brooke and her sweet family, I can tell you she truly is Wonder Mom!

Enough talking- Meet Lucy and Eli. :)

They weren’t too sure of us at the start of the shoot!

Every time we do a family session, I get the urge to be swung like this! If there are any giants reading this blog, come swing me!

Chris adores these kids and can do some mad gymnastics with Eli. I think they need to open a father/son show! :)

Eli looooooves his trucks!

Super Mom!

Had to post these. :)

Brooke amazed me many times this shoot, but the biggest thing was her ability to hold both kids at once while reading a book and turning the pages. It’s a wonder when I walk and chew gum at the same time!

I love family photos like this. :)

Brooke had more surprises up her sleeve for the munchkins- Balloons!

What started off as fun…

… Got a little heated! I said this on their preview post, but this is sincerely my favorite photo I’ve ever taken! Brooke said it sums up her life right now perfectly. :)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris, Brooke, Lucy, and Eli, thank you guys for playing with us!!!! We really, truly can’t wait to watch you grow up! :)
