Spending a week with old friends, what could be better? ... Trick question,... of course it's getting to spend an afternoon photographing those friends in 'new to me' locations!

David & Heather, Dylan, Chad, and Koby Lambert have been our friends for nearly 20 years. It's hard to believe so much time has gone by since the first time I met Heather who was already living in my house at the time. (long story ha) We moved away from Louisiana nearly 12 years ago, and you know people are your forever friends when being together feels like you never left. Heather and I were suppose to raise our children as neighbors, her first is 2 weeks younger than my last. So it was bitter sweet when we had to go back home, and my children wished we really were neighbors all these years that have flown by.

At any rate, enough history. This is the now, a beautiful, fun loving, all about family, family. Meet the Lambert's! I think when you view their slide show you'll see how wonderfully amazing my dear friends are. Too I hope you can see how much I love them while you view this very personal and favorite slide show preview of our afternoon portrait session. :-) ENJOY!

This quick session also took place in Louisiana. It's the 2nd time I've had the privilege of capturing these two beautiful children. The first time Lilly was just a sweet little baby that we put in a basket and photographed in glowing interior lighting. Elliott was a energetic new big brother who loved to jump on the bed.

I have watched them grow up the past few years via Facebook. So it was really wonderful getting them to feel comfortable with me again and capturing just a few precious images for their beautiful Mom. Who btw is amazing, she does marathons and other athletic challenges, and her husband is a triathlon athlete. I wish he could have made it as well, we were hoping for even more portraits of this beautiful family and couple. Next time I'm going to just have to make him come for the session when I'm down for a visit. ;-)
