The Highlands Family Photo Session

Elliott is seriously the man. Oh goodness…I just love this kid! His spunk, his smile and his sweet Lucky Fin! I met up with his family at The Highlands for his family photo session last week and we had so much fun. The weather was perfect, the location was new and the company was basically a dream! I always love spending time with these three!

Each year I photograph family sessions for fellow Lucky Fin families (with upper limb differences) and they are always some of my favorites of the year. We are all just happy to be healthy and moving forward with life because there is so much to be thankful for….and sometimes those things to be thankful for are the little things….like simple and fun family photos at the park 🙂

I just love this image below. It’s simple, everyone is happy and it just radiates love. (And Elliott is pretty cute too! Can’t you just hear him laughing?!)

I’m not sure what that silly look is but you’ve got to love him!

He was a little nervous up on that tree but he was brave and walked on it anyway 😉

Ugh, this kid! I mean…doesn’t his smile just make your day better? The last time my Gabby saw him in person, she gave him THE biggest hug. It was enough to make your heart melt.

Sean & Katie – thank you for always trusting me with photos of your beautiful family! I always love seeing you each year and am so sad I won’t be seeing you at the Lucky Fin gathering this summer. Next year Gabby and Elliott can give big hugs again!!
