This past Easter I had the pleasure of photographing Beth, JD and their two kids, Lylas and Casey. Since both of our families celebrate Easter more- so during the morning, it made sense for us to use the afternoon to shoot. I’m glad we did because it was perfect weather! The mid-west has had some horrible weather and we lucked out with amazing temperatures, a beautiful breeze, and scenery that worked perfect for this little family.

I’ve known Beth since high school, and shot her and JD ‘s engagement / save-the-date. They moved out to California shortly after and just recently moved back. I’ve met her daughter, but this was the first time meeting Casey. Even though I may have never met him, I think knowing the family made him feel more comfortable with the shoot. It took him a little bit to warm up, but like any young kid, you work around the shy and capture them more in their moment. Luckily dad brought plenty of candy to keep them entertained and focused.

Not only were they such a cute family, they coordinated their outfits perfectly with blues, tans and floral. For the scenic greens and evergreen backgrounds we shot against, it pulled these colors perfect and made for some awesome shots.

Their daughter was so photogenic and both Beth and her had beautiful long hair, all the little details made me love every moment of photographing this family.
