When my session starts with a running hug and kiss on the cheek from a very smiley three-year-old, I know I’m about to have a fun session. The K Family and I met at Hartwood Mansion on a warm August evening, and they were such a joy!

I love how photogenic this family is. They are very natural in front of the camera, giving me lots of opportunities to capture their joy in images. A game of peek-a-boo behind the flower pot is always sure to get some natural grins, too!

After working our way around the property, we ended our session in the mansion “backyard” where I witnessed little Daniella fly through the air with her daddy, and spin through the garden with her mommy. A magical way to end a beautiful evening.
