Extended Family Photos at Duke Gardens

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a photo shoot until this one. Between Eileen's contagious laugh, John's goofy (and sometimes sassy) poses and most of the gang crackin' jokes...usually at my expense, we had fun! 

Now before you all start thinking they're mean for teasing me, I made the mistake of wearing a Carolina sweatshirt on Duke's campus...the night of the Carolina v. Duke game.  The majority of the family pulls for Duke, ugh.

Do you recognize this cutie on the left? You've seen him on the blog a couple times before. He is one of my very favorite babies. Ever. Between his total and complete cuteness, he has the best personality too. It started getting pretty chilly by the end of the shoot, and while he might not have been all smiles, he was still in such a good mood! I just love him. Those cheeks, those chocolate brown eyes, his smile, his eyelashes...everything. Raegen and John, can you please make like ten more of him? That'd be great:) John is such a good sport...

You can tell when this family gets together they have FUN! Thanks for trusting me to capture your family, I hope you like the photos!

I was excited when I got the email asking me to take this family's pictures for multiple reasons. First, my husband and Taylor went to law school together and we haven't seen them since graduation (which was right after their baby was born) so we miss them! And two, they're beautiful and fun to be around! Their little man, was a lot more interested in the ducks, sticks, and throwing things in the water, but we still got a handful of pictures where he's looking at me and smiling! It was great to see you guys, I hope you love your pictures!

Duke Gardens is not only one of my favorite places to shoot but its special to them because Taylor is in law school at Duke!
