I'm interrupting all the wonderful Fall Mini-Session blog posting to show you something I'm really excited about - my first LIFESTYLE shoot!! Lately, I've been thinking about how important it is to me to have special memories of real life and so I'm working hard to give that to others now!! This is a shoot where you invite me into your home, tell me how you enjoy spending time together and then I let you do those things and I take the pictures! I might help you along here or there with a pose or two and I also enjoy asking questions to loosen you up and get to know you and your family better. But really it is all about you and your family just BEING TOGETHER.

The Calvo family couldn't have been more fun to work with. They had all kinds of ideas of things they wanted me to capture! Poppi Calvo read a special journal they kept during the girls first years, Fifi Calvo read the girls a special binder of recipes, Kristina and her mom looked at wedding books to plan together for her upcoming wedding, they played board games and music together over coffee and cheesecake and loved on all their sweet animals. It was such a fun glimpse for me into the time they enjoy together and their sweet family bond.
