Lu + Justin + Priya : Portrait

by 8 Comments

In lieu of November being Family Month, I thought I’d post a different kind of family session! ;)

Nathan and I have the best friends. The best. You guys may remember our cutie patootie buddies from their beautiful Epcot wedding way back when the new blog launched- You know, this one, here, that Justin and Lu designed. Yep… Our friends are magical.

Anyway, Justin and Lu are in our free sessions for life club, and when they added a new family member, the beautiful, furry Priya, we couldn’t wait to capture some family portraits. :)

Lu, you’re gorgeous!

My favorite. :)

Julu, love you to the moon and back! :)

Sarah Bess + Dean = Everett

If you used to follow our old blog, surely you remember Everett! I absolutely could not have a “family month” without re-visiting a session with my favorite little boy in the world. My friend Sarah Bess was the first of my friends to have a baby. This session took place the very first time I met her little boy, Everett, and we photographed around the Indianapolis Airport. :)

Ev showed up with a gift for me, which he was kind enough to open. :)

I want to be just like Sarah Bess when I’m a mommy. Seriously. It makes me all teary-eyed when I think of how amazing she is with her son.

Now for a bit of brutal honesty: As badly as I want a family, I am *terrified* of having boys. Yes, this probably means God will grant me with all boys, but still. After a couple hours with this little guy, however, I can see how having a boy wouldn’t be the end of the world… I mean, seriously-

Nate is going to be the greatest Dad that ever lived. True story.

Sarah can make a game out of ANYTHING…

… But so can Everett. ;)

My favorite. Ever, ever, ever. I love you guys. :)

Everett was looking for bunnies. :)

Oh yeah- He totally loves me. Can’t you tell? ;)

Sarah Bess and Everett, our next visit can’t come soon enough! Love you guys. :)

Cynthia + Shane = Violet

I can’t believe it’s already been two years since we photographed Cynthia and Shane’s Disney wedding! My favorite thing about the ‘age’ of our business right now, if you will, is that so many of our past couples are starting families. :) I know what some of you are thinking, “Roots! I thought you didn’t photograph families!” Well, let me explain our policy like this: Weddings are our bread and butter. They take up most of our time, but every now and then, we have holes in our schedule. This is when we start accepting family sessions! First priority to these spots goes to past couples, and then our own family and friends. Then we’re able to open it up to new families. :) We really are hoping to do a lot more sessions like this in the future, though, especially if you’re located in Tennessee. ;) Anyway…

Meet Violet, aka the cutest baby that ever walked the planet. Complete with DAISY SANDALS! Violet likes to wave. See? :)

Another wave- She waved at Nate much more than me. Not that I’m jealous or anything…

The other thing she loves to do is pick up leaves and give them to people. :)

Hello, Violet. :)

The 3rd thing we learned Violet loves to do is play airplane. She runs around with her arms out, and even makes sound effects. :)

Violet also loves dogs…

… And her sweet mommy. :)

It gave me warm fuzzies to see how amazing Cynthia and Shane are with their little girl. :)

I challenge you- Look at these photos for 10 seconds each and try not to yawn. Do it. I even yawned while typing that. ;)

Violet, I hope you come back and play next year!! :)
