cuteness & energy for days

The S family purchased my services last year during fundraiser auction. I had donated my services to a worthy cause, and waiting to hear from the purchasing family. Well almost a year went by and just a few weeks ago I got a phone call asking if we could set up our session, and man am I happy they called. The S family is not only wonderful for giving to that good cause, but incredibly adorable. With 5 of the cutest kids this side of Portland, and access to a stunning property, the session was fantastic! We had a great time running around a beautiful estate in Lake Oswego, enjoying some rare warm fall weather, taking about a new frozen yougart store they are opening in my little town (woo hoo!), and taking photos.

Here are some of my favorites so far:

7 people, 5 kids, and they are all ridiculously good looking and sweet. It’s kind of unreal.

Meet big sister, she is sweet and soft spoken. She also does a great silly face when the little ones need to smile.

Meet middle sister, she might have the most naturally sparkling eyes I have ever seen. And such a cutie.

And now we have middle brother, he is all wit and charm this one. You can tell he is going to rule Kindergarten.

The middle kids share a cute bond and some beautiful eyes.

and here comes trouble, the wonder twins. These two are the babies of the family, but there was clearly no shortage of character and cuteness left. These two totally cracked me up with their antics. 🙂

see what I mean, how can you not smile at that silly face.

I think sometimes twins have extra personality, clearly this little man has loads of it!

beautiful ladies!

and the boys looking cool.

Clearly hanging out with daddy is fun.

We even got a few of Mom & Dad on their own.

there is no shortage of love in this family, look at those smiles.

The property had some amazing scenery for sure.

Pretty girls.

I love this one, no idea what the secret was, but it reminds me of the bond only sisters can have.

Ok I have to admit this set cracks me up. On the left you have kids being kids, I think someone lost their stick sending some into a tail spin and some into tutle mode. On the right is about 30 seconds later when everyone was promised ice cream. Kids kill me.

and one last shot, possibly the best of the day. You can tell these little ones have fun together. I just adored each and every one of them. 🙂

Kelsey thanks for having me out to capture your beautiful family. I had a great time getting to know you all. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. I am super excited for the new store in my little town as well! As a new client I would love to offer you a little blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this post I will throw in a darling little wallet brag book. Perfect for showing off a certain adorable family . So leave some love people!
