Z family (take two) | Kildeer family photographer

Hey hey, the Z family is back!  The boys were just in the studio for their photos a few weeks ago.  In fact I even blogged about it.  However it was time they updated their entire family photo so they opted for a mini session this time around.  Mom also wanted something outdoors so we agreed on this spot in the Derk Park/Kildeer area.  I’m sure I sound like a broken record if you’ve read my past blog posts, but the winter here has been so long and nasty I am more than excited to be back outside, again. Plus, this location is pretty spectacular.

Like I said, this family was just in the studio for their two boys.  Their oldest son is such a ham and he loves to hide from me so it takes some playing as he warms up to the idea of my camera.  Swinging around with mom and dad was a great idea!

And of course, we have to take some break for some cuddles with Daddy.

Mom also wanted to get a few photos with her daughters.  Her oldest is going to school for illustration, which I think is really cool.  In college I was always jealous of those that were good at drawing and it came naturally to them.  Like me she’s going to grow up doing something she loves and I know her mom is proud of her for following that talent.

Also, in the second photo below I’m pretty sure I was threatening to tickle them and dancing around pretending to do it (what I was doing to J to make him smile).  Good to know it works on older kids, too.  Ha!

Thanks again to the Z family for another great session.  It is always great seeing you!
