This was one session that seems like 2 sessions. When you get a couple of photographers together, we tend to be ambitious. When you’ve shot hundreds of sessions for other families, you have lots of ideas about what might be fun for your own. And this was a fun session. The year before this one, in 2013, my friend Mandy (and fellow photographer of Amanda Kay Photography<\/a>) came up with an idea that resulted in what is probably my most viewed session of all time, the Holi Powder session<\/a>. She had an equally exciting plan for me in 2014 when we spent some time under the trees, followed by an adventure in canoes on the middle of a big lake by UW, camera and all, and finishing the evening with some frozen yogurt.<\/p>\n

If you follow my blog, you know that I’ve been trying to limit my blogs to 12 photos a session. I’m teaching myself some decisiveness. After nearly 6 years in business, it is still painful learning to not overshare… too painful for this session, so I doubled up and gave you 24… since it was really 2 sessions on the same day. I’m okay with it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Four of the last 6 years, we’ve managed to get together in the summer time and photograph each other. It’s a tradition I’m sure will continue whenever we’re able to get our families together in the same state. I can’t express how grateful I am for all the photos Mandy has taken of my family. Precious memories from the time our now 6-year-old was a 1-year-old. Here are a couple of favorites of my girl and I, from the first session Mandy shot for us in 2011, and one from 2014, the day before I shot this session for them. I should tell you, I just wasted (well, not wasted… enjoyed) a half hour I didn’t intend to spend, looking through all our AKP sessions. There are literally hundreds of images I wanted to post, but for the sake of time I’ll stick with my first instinct and share these two. I love side-by-sides age progressions. That is the value of a family session every year. They preserve the changes, giving a Momma’s heart little bittersweet pangs, for the little ones they used to be, and the bigger ones they’re becoming. It’s a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n
