the lifestyle of the wilsons

Jen knows just how to make Caden crack up laughing...it even made me laugh!
Scot is a wonderful father. 
Caden got sleepy while watching Shrek.
Pacey is always near by. I think he likes listening to the stories too.

Love this photo of the family together at bed time. The light coming from the bedroom door added such an amazing feeling of warmth. I also love how Caden's hand rest on his parents'.


A sure sign that you are really doing what you love is when you choose to do some more of it on your day off! Last Saturday I went over to the Wilson house to take some lifestyle photos of their family. I got to be their own personal paparazzi and get the inside scoop on what their life is really like. It's sort of like reality tv for photographers. Can't go wrong, right?!
The idea seems strange at first...taking photos of a family living their everyday life, no one saying "cheese," no one dressed up, but the end result is a grouping of photos that document the life and love of a family in reality. There are so many beautiful moments in our day-to-day lives that pass by us so quickly...so many things that we never want to forget like story time before bed, tickles and giggles, or just how sweet children look right as they are falling asleep. I was privilege to it all this weekend and it certainly was an honor.
The Wilson family is a beautiful one. They work hard and love even harder. They know how to laugh, and how to soothe one and other. I'm so lucky to have them in my life!
