I got the sweetest email not tooo long ago. You might remember Aimee & Dan from one of my favorite 2009 weddings, or from their engagement/family session in the summer prior. Either way Aimee, Dan and Ethan are awesome, so when Dan emailed me to ask about a family session this year I was 100% in. You see the traditional first wedding anniversary is celebrated with a “paper” gift, so Dan wanted to give his lovely bride the gift of photos. How cute is that!
So we headed out to the streets of lovely Downtown Sherwood, OR to see what we could find, have some laughs and take some photos. Here are a few of my favorites so far:
It’s been a whole year, and clearly everyone has had a good one. Check them out, even more adorable then ever.
Ethan is a seriously handsome kid, and sweet to boot.
I love the bond between mother and son, especially with these two.
Our love birds, cute as ever.
The whole family.
We also had some silliness you see.
Aimee & Dan thanks again for meeting up with me and strolling around downtown Sherwood with me. I had a great time hanging out with you all and catching up. You all are the best. And of course you know how I love my comment challenges right, so lets have another one shall we? If you can get 30 people to comment on this little post I will throw in a cute little wallet brag book on the house. That should cover part of the “paper” right. 🙂

Gorgeous photos! I especially love the juxtaposition of the family against the tall windows. You have captured the essence of this loving family unit perfectly.
