Wilkie Family

On Sunday afternoon we headed out to the farm for our first of several Holiday Sessions for the day and to meet the Wilkie Family. Bethann said they heard about us through the Woodlief family. We had just finished photographing their beautiful twin babies. You can see those HERE. Troy, Bethann, Jackson and Nora Kate looked as if they had just stepped out of a magazine with their coordinated outfits, cool accessories and beautiful smiles for the camera! Bethann wanted images that were colorful, candid and able to capture who they were in real life. So, we just followed them around as they enjoyed each other. It was fun to be a "fly on the wall" or should I say a "bee on the farm" as we watched this family run around, play and explore the beautiful farm. Jackson, who is six and Nora Kate, three, had lots of energy but I must say their parents were able to keep up. They were playing chase, throwing the kids up in the air, picking up bugs and taking their turns on the tree swing. Having children tends to bring out the kid in us all.

I loved Nora Kate's colorful stockings.

Jackson really enjoyed the tree swing.

Say it with me . . . awwww.

It wasn't until later, after the photo-shoot when I was sitting in front of my computer looking at this image at the bottom left and I thought . . . Wow! . . . Now that's an impressive toss. I'm thinking at least 5.5 feet at the peak. Dad's all over the world should be impressed by this.

Nora Kate is gorgeous and full of smiles.

To Bethann and Troy: We had a great time and hope you were able to create some memories with your family. Years from now, when they're grown, we hope these images help bring you back to now.
