While the wildflowers were putting on such a show at St. Edwards Park, I met up with this sweet family for some Spring portraits.
The kids were great sports to go exploring in the tall grass among the sticky burrs.
We had staring contests:
Piggy-back rides:
And lots of snuggles, silliness and smelling the flowers:
Please enjoy these sneak peeks from their family portrait session.

1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
I met Stephanie when our kids went to the same pre-school – and we became connected on social media. It was through her darling Instagram account where I was wow-ed with how she approaches photography – especially capturing natural and sweet moments with kids. (Edit: Thank you! It was so fun to see how much the kids have grown since their Montessori days – Stephanie)
2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?
My favorite part of the photo session was Stephanie’s presence and sense of adventure. She had great ideas for the shoot – and then worked in the moment and with the kids to come up with ideas on the fly – like my daughter’s bridge in the field of flowers! You can also tell that Stephanie is a mom – she knew how to work with my kids to get what she wanted, and also knew when it was time for a break. (Edit: Thank you! See “I wish I could do that” bridge pic below, and I always follow the kids’ leads when it comes to taking breaks – Stephanie)
3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?
Go with the flow and let natural moments happen – those typically end up being the most memorable shots. (Edit: Yes! The in-between moments are always my favorites – Stephanie)
4. Anything else you’d like to add?
Stephanie is really easy to work with. Great communicator. Great ideas. And most of all, a great photographer! (Edit: 🙂 – Stephanie)
