If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love family. And, I love photographing families … and this family was no exception. We met at one of my favorite locations in Frederick and from the minute I met them, I knew that it was going to be a photo session full of all sorts of cuteness. After the boy got out of the car, he ran up to his Mimi and gave her the biggest hug. I could tell right then and there that this family was full of love.

From drawing shapes in the gravel with the boy to watching the dad snuggle up to his daughter, from seeing the little boy’s excitement about the big tractors on the property to capturing the mom’s smile … I loved getting to know this sweet family. Including extended family in this photo session added a whole new level of love and fun.

Here’s a sneak peek at the mini photo session with the Schwieso family in Frederick, Maryland.
