Soapbox moment! I am so in agreement with you!!! Sometimes I beat myself up a bit because I don’t seem to be “keeping up” with what everyone else is doing. BUT! What I am producing are (in my opinion) timeless portraits. No frog poses, no props, no fuss. Just faces. Pictures that people will love 10, 20, 50 years from now…or at least I hope so. Not pictures that they will laugh at years from now and say, “Oh. My. Word! Why did we dress up our baby like an owl?”

And, btw, GORGEOUS FAMILY!!! GORGEOUS LIFE!!!

Andrea doing the Michelle face makes me the president, right?? 🙂

hunleys for president, all around. coolest family on the block/globe.

What a beautiful family! And gorgeous photos of course:) I would love, LOVE to load up my family for a road trip up to you for a session!!

You should stay on your soap box forever. These images are so beautiful! I am no where near pro, but I love taking pictures, and I’m truly inspired by people who capture reality — I believe those pictures are the ones you will love in 20, 30, 40 years and beyond. Thanks for being awesome!

I’m so in love with this family, these images, your work, the kid’s smiles, this moment … oh my gosh. So amazing. I’m speechless. I wish I was a writer and could explain to you how much these images have touched me. Amazing.

These are fabulous!

i’ve never met them but i know i’d love them. they always photograph so well. love it.
ps. ryan got some HEIGHT on that toss!

I love them so much, and I love every single one of these photos. Probably because the people in them and the people who took them are some of my best friends! You are all amazing.

I can’t pick a favorite?! Amazing, all of them! Bobbi, that one of August in the camping chair made laugh out loud. Now I just want to drive to Indy! lol

Such a happy family…makes me happy to see the love 🙂 BBMK…beautiful work as always!

I just watched Ben and Leslie get engaged on Parks and Rec and now this session!? Tears. As a mom of two little girls… just perfect.

These are absolutely perfect in every way…right down to each sweet little grins on those girls! LOVE these so much, and the peeps in them, and that took them! xxoo

Perrrfffeecctttiioonnnn! Love allll you guys. Seriously these are amazingggg!!!!

We are endlessly grateful to have these images that so authentically reflect this crazy ass time in our lives (let’s be real, it’s been crazy from the jump). And while your photo takin’ skills are unmatched, it is really the friendship we treasure – thanks for always being there. That being said, how perfect are these images? You guys are so good at taking the time to discover and showcase all of the little quirks and interactions that are so dear to us right now – word to MurphyMo.

Love everything about these images. What an amazing family who you captured in the beautiful simple ways. Makes me realize how in need of family photos we are and I have been putting that off waaay too long. Can’t wait till the day that you photograph these girls marrying our boys. Ha! 😉

I am not one to tear up easily and these made me cry. My kids and I love camping, too! What a special way to celebrate a birthday. Oh, yeah, and if Ryan were running for president, he’d have my vote, for sure!

it’s sessions like this that make me sooooooo happy i’m going to your workshop next weekend 🙂 that freakin’ hurricane better move out by friday morning or i’m going to be very upset! 😉

First of all….not the perfect images? Um, they are perfection and exactly they type of photos I would want of my family….the same type of images I love to shoot. Real. life. love.

Side note, you have Ryan as the principal and Andrea as the art director in your links. I was very confused for a minute thinking Ryan was now a principal! 🙂

Love you guys!!! SO inspiring!!

xo

Oh My Goodness… I cannot believe how big the girls have gotten and yes they do look like the happy, happy family…

Love you both,
Momba

WOW!! Those are beautiful!! Even though these pictures might not be the most creative, or the best poses, the emotion that you capture in all of your photography far outweighs any of those other things! I am in AWE of your work!! Great job!!!

I love everything about this shoot! The color, the composition, the energy, the little cheeky looks… amazing amazing job! Why USA have to be so far from Switzerland, I don’t understand… 🙂

LOVE.

I saw these the other day and swooned, but didn’t have time to comment. I adore all of these- it’s true that love always wins over perfect backgrounds, never before used poses, etc. But I have to say these are impressive in all categories 🙂

These images are happy and perfect & the reason I am a lifestyle photographer!!!! 🙂 🙂 beautiful work ya’ll! I love following you!

Such a great shoot!! They are one good looking family 🙂

I love how the first word that describes the girls is “stubborn”! That is SO my redhead and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

As always I am taken back by your pictures and just adore them! You truly did capture the essence of this family! Thank you for sharing 🙂

Ok so, even if you didn’t feel like they were the most “creative” shots you’ve ever taken, all of your blog readers can look at these images and feel the love in these photos. You guys are perfectionists at capturing the moments and who people really are. This family is so incredibly precious. I love love love every time you blog photos of them. 🙂 And the picture of the four of them on the blanket…ALL TIME FAVORITE!!! Each expression told an amazing story.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this session!!!! You guys are amazing. 🙂

Oh. Em. Gee. The one of them laying on the blanket w Addison all snuggled under Ryan’s arm, perfection. I love seeing this family on the blog. It’s fun to watch those two little firecrackers get so big. These pictures made me melt. Love love love.

I found myself smiling while looking through this whole post. Genuine happiness and love is what family photography is all about!

I love it when you photograph this family each year because you photograph them as them and what shines is their personalities, their beauty and their relationship. A recent session was just me and a family wandering around their property with the dog. And I love everything about the session because it is about them, not about poses and backdrops. Hubby looked at my blog images and asked if I had been channeling my “inner bobbi”.

Its images like these, that convey such peace and happiness, that make me look forward to having my own little family someday. Hopefully, if I am lucky, bobbi+mike can come and capture some images for us 🙂

Spectacular.

BEST FAMILY IMAGES EVER. hands down. i really do feel like i know this family through you guys, and i freaking love them. what a special family. 🙂
