Summer in Houston can make for some challenging circumstances photo-wise. When Nicole contacted me about photographing her family, we were working around a very short time frame, rain in the forecast for the entire weekend, already soggy locations, and, of course, the heat… However, I'm SO glad we were able to schedule! :) We settled on Memorial Park in Houston for the location, and were even able to find some dry spots to shoot! 

This session was so much fun, and the kiddos were such troopers (despite the HOT morning!) I love photographing extended families - it's a joy to see families that love being together, and make documenting moments in life a priority. 

Special thanks to the stranger in the park who hung out for a few minutes with her dog! Your puppy was perfect for getting the little people's attention, and I'm grateful for your kindness! 

When photographing groups that include little people, it's a given that at some point in the session, one of them will decide that cooperating and smiling isn't fun any more! Some of these shots completely crack me up - sometimes so much that I include them with the family's gallery! ;)

Adkins family, thanks so much for trusting me to document this beautiful time in your lives! I'm so grateful to have been able to capture these moments that you were all together, and I hope the images are treasures! :)
