Luka ~ 1 year old Family Photoshoot

Family of 5 in front of pond at baby brother's 1 year photo sessionSometimes you just really click with people and absolutely love working with them. This family is like that for me. So, I was thrilled when Luka’s mom called me to photograph them in honor of his first birthday. They are just fun people with good kids. And little Luka couldn’t be any more adorable if he tried.

Mom with his 12 month old son standing on a chairWe started their photography session at a local park so the kids could be kids and have fun. Luka loved this toddler chair. He decided to conquer it by standing on the seat, so Mom joined in to make sure he was safe.

His sisters were more than happy to love on him, although he didn’t stay put for very long.

Mom wanted something to show off at his big birthday party that was coming up, so we followed her bowtie theme and had fun with it.

Big sister was reeling from a reprimand, little sister was all about the cake and didn’t have a care in the world, and baby brother was walking away from the drama with a handful of food in his mouth.

This last photo was one they chose to put on the cover of their portfolio box for display. Toby, their sweet dog, came along for their family photography session because he is an important part of their family. You can see so much love in this family. I can’t wait to watch them all grow up before my camera.
