Today we shot our first round of Love Through the Lens sessions. It has been so awesome to see the amazing response we've gotten for this cause. Ben and I feel extremely humbled and thrilled to be a part of this, and we cannot express how much it means to us that so many of you have been so supportive. Basically, you guys rock times 1 million. :)
With Love Through the Lens underway, our blog is going to be pretty active for the next month or so (maybe I'll even develop a habit of posting more often...;)). So check back frequently for updates! (Or join our Facebook group, and/or follow us on Twitter to stay posted!)
We held LTTL at Lake Aurora today. I need to take a moment to give a HUGE thank you to the amazing staff out there. I have known each one of them personally for a long time now, and they are just some of my favorite people in the world. They have been extremely generous and never once say "no" to us using their beautiful campground for our shoots. And for that, we are super grateful. :) They also run some pretty fabulous programs out there, so definitely check out their website for more info! :)
Ok - first up - Shay, Mike, Cole, Mason, and Katy-Grace.
Shay and I go way back. :) She was my cheerleading coach, but more importantly, a huge influence in my life. Shay is bubbly and caring, and I feel super blessed that she's been a part of my life while I was growing up. We've kept in touch, and I have had the privilege of watching her family expand over the last several years. I won't lie - seeing her 3 kids pile out of their car today (with the 2 boys almost beating me in height) made me feel just a littttttle old. Ok. More than a little.
Shay and Mike have raised fabulous children, and Ben and I had such a blast photographing them today. Their personalities are so unique to who they are as individuals, and it was really fun to capture each one with our cameras. The boys are definitely....boys. :) Cole and Mason are full of energy and kept us laughing during the entire session. Katy-Grace is adorably sweet, with a little mischievous side that I'm sure she picked up from being the only girl in the trio. :)
Shay and Mike - we had such a great time with you all today! Thank you for being a part of Love Through the Lens, and for allowing us to photograph your awesome family. :)
Here's a few of our favorites from the shoot:
Little miss Katy-Grace, in all her cuteness. :)
Meet Cole and Mason. :)
I love this one. Cole and Mason are so sweet toward their little sister.
Boys will be boys. :)
This one is in the running for my favorite - I LOVE it.
Daddy's little girl.
We snagged a couple of family shots - I think this one is a great way to sum things up. :)
