Yep… you read that right! The famous Z family is back… and their cool factor hasn’t let up, even a little bit! 😀 Last time we photographed them was nearly four years ago. Click to be reminded of their amazingness.
That blue wall… I’m in love! It’s the perfect combo of muted and saturated. 😉 Priya… you’re gorgeously gorgeous! Love that big ol’ sweet smile. 😀 I can’t wait to see where your life takes you, wherever it is… it’s going to be big. Right Priya?! 😀
See that little ledge? It’s mayyyybe six inches deep. Brett is the original crazy climbing monkey man… so it’s only fitting that his sons climbed up there all on their own while I was photographing Priya. So, I asked Brett to join them. 😀
I love these boys! Each of them with their own unique personality… each of them destined for greatness. 😀
Their outfits?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!??!! Perfectly coordinated. But really?! Did you expect anything less? Me neither. 
EVERYONE is ALLLLLWAYYYYYS saying that Priyya is her momma’s clone… me included. HOWEVERRRR… look at Brett and Priya standing there… there is NO denying that he is her daddy baba!
Oh man oh man ohhhhh man! Have you ever seen a more attractive / fashionable parenting duo?! And Jess, good hair day!
Love them!
That image on the left? I took the same one four years ago. Are you prepared to be blown away by a growth spurt?! Because you better be before you click! Such a gorgeous team. 🙂 I’m so inspired by watching Jess and Brett be parents.
Image on the left? My favorite. ❗ See that blanket? Grandma made it. Last time we photographed this family, they were all laying on it. Grandma passed recently. Now the blanket means more to them than ever. What a perfect homage. Image on the right? Taken on their patio. 🙂 I’m not sure if you can tell with the image so small but Jess, Adin and Priya are all making the exaaaaaact same face!
See Gabe sucking on his fingers? He’s does it when he’s sleepy and has been doing it his whole life. Oh how I adore this family!

This family and these images are gorgeous. I seriously love your work. I mean, love, LOVE, love. I want to come to Indiana for a family session so stinking bad!
Oh my gosh, I’m in love!!! This is what family photography is all about!! They are amazing! I remember their family from 4 years back and remember wishing I was apart of their family!! <3 Please please please take my family's pictures!!! <3
This is an AMAZING family session — their personalities shine through! (Plus, I love me some brick walls….that pic of the kids and dad on the teeny ledge is pretty awesome….)
These pictures and this family are nothing short of delightful!
I’ve never been much of a ‘mom type’ but this is the ONLY family on the planet that makes me want a whole gaggle of adorable children!! So cute and these photos are bursting with love!
I’ve been waiting so patiently for this!!! Didn’t disappoint!! Love it!
Hey Bobbi,
Are you kidding me? I love the “Z Family.” I love to see their family grow up. I personally have two favorites. I love the picture you selected with their family wrapped in Grandma’s quilt. The photo of Mikey and my Grandog, Murphy makes me smile.
Love you both,
Momba
GORGEOUS and WONDERFUL!!!
Damn, these are so so good. Gabe on Brett’s back, the b/w of all of them in front of the garage door – all of them. Really nice work friends!
You have photographed some magical families over the years, but this one tops the list. What a beautiful family of six. Jess, you know how much I just LOVE you and that love extends to your whole (styling/gorgeous/insanely fun/insert 100 more adjectives here) family. This post makes me MISS the Z crew SO much! Hoping we can see you again before the year is out! Already counting down the days ’til our next girls weekend!
xoxo
Ya know, bbmk, I think you’re most well-known for your ability to rock the shiz outta weddings, but I’m here to tell you: You do *something* with families that NO ONE else does. This is off the charts, for real.
I’m just gonna go ahead and echo EVERYTHING amazing and positive said about these photos. Wow to these, you guys!! Z crew – you are beautiful inside and out.
Just perfect. So many beautiful images of this gorgeous family. I love the one with the quilt and of Jess and Priya. SO amazing!
I’m so excited to see this sweet family on your blog today!!! Gorgeous family and images to match. xo
bobbi, you are the master of figuring out who people look like … please tell me you also see that the boy in the red shorts with the hat, in the image of the guys on the ledge, looks like Pinnochio?!? It’s the outfit mixed with the sitting that makes it look like he’s on stage. Love it! Love this whole session. Love everything about this family. Keep documenting beautiful love.
Beautiful capture of this inspiring family!
I absolutely LOVE these! You guys truly rock family sessions.
LOVE!
woah! This family is beyond awesomely gorgeous and that shot of the boys on the ledge? Yeah, that needs to be blown up and hung everywhere!
Perfectly, amazingly awesome family. Boom. 🙂
Man, I totally agree with Jennie. You are amazing at weddings, but your family sessions are magical magical. You’re so good at capturing the real emotion and personalities behind the faces. Sigh. I’m not even married yet, but I’m gonna start saving for a BBMK family session.
