The Stoughtons Family Reunion
A little while back Ryan and I did a shoot for the Stoughton’s family reunion. Here are some of our favorite shots from the day – enjoy!
The Stoughtons rented a little spot on the beach which was the perfect setting for a beach shoot. The sky was brilliantly lit and we were happily snapping away.
The whole family! (Well, absent a few who were unable to make it that day but were there in spirit.)
Chris made his famous ribs… yum!
This is part of a 7 shot series that is hysterical.. it starts with a the running leap and ends with them all in the sand. Here is the delicate balancing moment.
I’ll end with the photo that made me smile the most… the guilty sand digger.
Triumph of the Lollipop: Erica’s Family Shoot
Both Dawson and I loved the lollipop! So I couldn’t help but to dedicate this post to the lollipop in all its glory.
While the lollipop doesn’t officially make an appearance in this final photo, Erica used the lollipop to perfectly execute a lollipop kiss photo opp (she rubbed it on both their lips and then hid it behind her back.) Erica’s parenting persuasion is brilliant and pretty amazing to watch in action! So cute!!
Francois, Risa, Hannah & Zach
Two weeks ago I photographed Risa & Francois and their kids. Sometimes you worry that the kids might be a bit shy around the camera, but as soon as I arrived I was greeted by two chatterboxes ready to have a great time. They were so much fun! My favorite part of the day had to be hearing Zach do his fire station alarm – SO CUTE!!!
Mr. Zach peering out though the tree….
and then getting to join Hannah up in the tree…
I know Hannah doesn’t have her full smile here, but I love the shot with her gorgeous curls in the wind!
Zach was quite the little water man. He started off fully dressed and within minutes was soaked and loving it. When he heard his job was to splash as big as he could, you should have seen him go! Here he is with his dad been thrown up into the air….
Many thanks to Risa and Francois for all your support and for such a fun day! Give the kids some Mickey ears for me (the reward points they get for being extra specially wonderful that eventually turn into a trip to Disney)!!
Itty Bitty Treasures: Children’s Toys, Books, & More
Happy Monday! Another week has rolled along and this time we’re featuring gifts for kids! The first one had to be thrown in there even though it’s more of a baby shower gift because it’s on sale and a great present for baby showers.

Raj, Jeya & Dhilan
Despite the oncoming rain and darkness, Raj and his family were amazing. Here’s a sneak peek of their pictures!
