setting sun session

It’s hard to believe (with 10 inches of snow on the ground outside) that this session took place just 5 days ago:

I met up with these cute kiddos right before sunset on one of those crazy, warm-weather days last week.

Their family has a beautiful home with a great wooded area behind it.  I couldn’t have asked for a better location, better light, or a more lovely family.

The oldest daughter’s cat (named Marshmallow) followed us from spot to spot as we took pictures.

I love this dang cat; she is so pretty and so sociable!

You can see her rambling around behind the kids in the shot below.  So funny.

And again here:

Okay, I will stop talking about the cat now.

This family’s 2-year-old is adorable.  He has blue eyes to beat them all.

And was happy as a clam to follow his siblings around.

I love these family shots … just the normal commotion of a family of five, but everyone is happy to be together.

Love this shot of the middle kiddo:

And the kids being goofy up on top of the hill:

We walked back to the house when the sun was nearly set and after a quick wardrobe change, took a few more pictures in the backyard.

Her freckles are to-die-for:

And again with the blue eyes:

I’m so glad I got to meet this family and spend time at their beautiful home.  And I’m so glad the kids were so relaxed and were just themselves while I was there.  I credit their parents with setting the relaxed tone…

… they made it a wonderful, wonderful session.

Have a great holiday season, you guys!
