I’ve heard many people say that their favorite blog entries of ours are family sessions. Not many things bring me more fulfillment than the end result of a session like this. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to shoot as many as we have in the past because of our crazy year. We’re really hoping to change that in 2012! Luckily for us, we were able to get our fill right at the end of the season with some really awesome families… and this one is certainly no exception!
My view.
…and Mike’s view. By the way… Ali’s pregnant… with TWINS! 😀 Oh, and she’s Australian! Her accent is so charming. With an Australian accent, my name is usually pronounced, “Boobi.” 😉
A very nice farmer let us photograph on his property… and boy oh boy were we thankful. Are you kidding me with this truck? Awesome… 
One of our goals when we shoot any kind of session is we want to photograph your “living room self.” By that we mean, the person/family/couple you are, when you’re in your living room when no one is looking. You know, the real you. This image, I think, is exactly that. Our favorite ❗ + ❓
GAH!!! I LOVE THIS!!!! Evie’s Donald Trump wind blown hair is just icing on the cake! 😉

Oh My GAH! I feel like I say the same thing to you guys over and over. But seriously, amazing amazing job! What incredibly memories you have captured forever for this family.
Perfection. Completely!
I’m one of those – your family posts are my favorite! Mostly because you do such a great job of evoking the real spirit of a family. And with more people come more fun interactions. 🙂
As usual…INCREDIBLE! I think that last 2 photos are my favorites…although how the heck are you supposed to pick a favorite with so many incredible images!
*happy sigh* I just love your family sessions. One day I hope to have one of my very own. 🙂
OK, enough already! Come to San Antonio/Houston/Austin and take my families pictures!! You all are amazing!

Perfectly imperfect my friends, absolutely gorgeous. And the exact reason you get such a response to your family sessions!
Love these pictures. Love the joy that radiates in each one! Amazing as always.
Ali, it’s so great to see your family over here on B&M’s blog! You’ve been dreaming about this session for, what? Two years now?! Every frame is perfection. Now you just need to decide where to hang ’em all, right? Love to the Murphy family!!! xoxo G
