Family Portraits in The Pines | The Pinehurst Arboretum Pinehurst, Southern Pines, & the Sandhills Photographer

It's always a pleasure with Mike, Hayley, and their three boys! ;)  This was my second year capturing their family, and we are just LOVING the ability to go back and see just how much they've changed in this short year!

These three, little fellas were something else - Each of them having SUCH distinct personalities already - which I was REALLY hoping to capture with this session......and I think this was accomplished! ;)  In my opinion - Family portraits shouldn't be solely based on "perfect posing" .......a Family Portrait Session should be based on capturing a family "perfectly, at that present moment, in their lives".  Time goes by so quickly - children grow up - and we rely on these images to take us back in time..... to cherish [who] we were at that moment .....and to hold onto that silly little day-dreamer for a moment longer. :)  That being said, I really loved everything about this session - We captured Love, Smiles, Fits, Day-Dreamers, and Tired Little Troopers who did an Amazing job at keeping up with us Big Kids. ;)   

Thank you so much, Mike & Hayley ......for granting me the privilege to provide you with yet another year of Priceless Memories! xOxO
