Round #3!
Every October, Ariane gathers her family together for Fall family portraits.

As I look back over the past three years, I can’t believe how much their children have grown up.
I love that Josie is now in the pictures, as opposed to being in her mom’s belly for last years pictures.
She’s an absolute doll!

Noah is almost three now and he is just a little fire cracker!
Most of my time shooting is focused on Noah, and convincing him to stay put, and even making big promises of treats afterwords.
The dialog goes something like this:
“Noah, put the truck down, look over here….Noah…take your fingers out of your mouth buddy!
Wait, get back here you little turkey…” as he takes off.
He’s usually defiant during these photo shoots, but we always end up with one great shot that mom and dad love.
Because when he wants to cooperate, he’s a knock out!

Clayton has mastered the lens. He knows what to do, whenever I have my camera in his face.
Because I love and adore this little 5 year old, I just want to squeeze his cheeks when I see pictures of him like this:

It’s usually with a lot of grunting and whining and complaining that Justin agrees to having his picture taken.
He must really love his family, because I know that’s the only reason he does this. It means a lot to Ariane.
But he does so well doing it, don’t ya think?

Justin is one lucky chap! That’s a gorgeous wife he has!

Justin and Ariane, thank you, once again for asking me to take these pictures. It’s always a pleasure and honor.
I will miss you next year, when our paths will divide us, but the love will last forever.
