It's such an honor when friends ask me to take their family photos. Leah and I have known Kyle and Katie for years and they're the type of people that you always wish you had been able to hang out with more. They live in Idaho so we don't see them often, but they recently came to the Oregon Coast and I was able to meet up with them to meet their beautiful daughter and take their family photos. Even though we didn't get the golden light I was hoping for, it wasn't windy, and for the Oregon Coast that's plenty nice enough for me. I'm always struck, when doing a session with friends, what a fun experience it is for me to watch them interact as a family, it's like I'm an outsider getting to watch all of these beautiful moments they share. Here's what I captured....
Kyle and Katie, thanks so much for hiring me to take your family photos, and for taking time out of your vacation (not that having photos taken isn't like a vacation in and of itself :)), to spend the evening with me. As always it was so great to see you guys and wonderful to meet Isabelle.

These are the nice guys who graciously let us borrow their giant hole in the sand...
A little girl walked up to Christina and handed her this bouquet of flowers she'd been collecting, she was too shy so her mom spoke, "she wanted you to have these..." So sweet...
