[patrick loves anna loves katie loves christian] family love shoot

I met Anna and her family through the Lins. What a sweet and beautiful family! One of the perks of this job is getting to meet such lovely people. :) Anna and her family live very close to the Lins and I love that we were able to get such wildly different images for each of their families!

Again, as I am a natural light photographer, so I really do not like taking pictures indoors. However with blistering cold weather outside and the fact that Anna's home was GOR-geous, I was happy to oblige. Anna is 5 months pregnant at the time of this shoot and was seriously one of the prettiest mama to be I had ever seen. Anna and Patrick, you have wonderful family and I'm so excited for the new little one who is on its way.

I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves!

I rarely do black and white pictures as I am a color junkie...but something about this family just screams black and white.

But I'll take them in color too!

Aren't Katie and Christian too adorable??

Wow, Anna you are beautiful!

Such a timeless couple!

I'm in love with these two pictures! Katie is welcoming the new baby!

Yay! Time to go outdoors to natural light! I love these portraits and the fact that the family dressed up for this shoot! Aren't they so stylish!?

Then after a change of clothes, we headed out for some outdoor fun! I adore ALL of the bright colors that Anna picked out for the family. So cute! Unfortunately our time was cut short as it ended up being way to cold for the kids, but I love what we caught in the time that we had!

Stumbled on this fun wall!

Can't get enough of this sweet family.

I love mom and daughter's stylish boots in this one!!

This series cracks me up!!

Last pictures of Christian before he's done for the day.

Thank you Chen Family, I had a blast with you guys! I hope you enjoy your pictures!
