sunshine and summer days {family portraits}

Although it takes a lot of work and coordination, I love when I get the chance to spend a day with not just one family, but several! It makes these mini sessions so rewarding being able to reconnect with past clients as their little ones have changed so much from the newborn I took photographs of only a few months ago. I love to see them grow and oh how they grow!! Here are some of my favorites from a recent session up at Ridley Creek State Park.

I love love LOVE it when a family comes to me to celebrate their heritage and the beauty of their culture. Nothing makes me happier than to embrace and celebrate the wonderful nuances that make up America.

We shot these at Ridley Creek, on a day that was beautiful and perfect for exploring. A beautiful, amazing family, and two energetic and adorable girls. What’s better than that?

As any woman would think, I so wish I looked this good when I was pregnant. Beyond that, there’s not much to say!!!

What to Wear Wednesday!

This Wednesday I wanted to focus on moms! While I am not a mother, I can definitely sympathize with running to and fro and trying to look fabulous in the process. I played around on polyvore.com and made these two outfits that I think are perfect for moms on the run and really anyone who wants to keep it simple, but keep it pulled together. I tried to incorporate some of the trends for this fall, but without being overwhelmed by them. I love skinny jeans, so break out your old pair or go pick some up and pair them with some great knee-height boots and a ruffled top with this season’s go-to– the boyfriend jacket. Throw on some shades with your fabulous, effortless outfit and you are ready to take on the carpool lane. If you are feeling a bit more daring, try the first outfit on for size. Bootcut jeans in black are sharp, but a little more relaxed because you don’t have to worry about squeezing into the skinnys. They are a classic cut and can be matched with another ruffled top that adds some femininity to the tough leather jacket. Wear some dangling, sparkly earrings that, again, cut the fierceness of the all black ensemble and make eyes focus on you. Pair this outfit with some Converse sneakers and you are ready to run around town!Mommy Chic by lcmb featuring Citizens of Humanity jeans
