When I first met Holly and Peter, I was kind of nervous!
At this point in my photography career, I don’t usually get nervous. I get excited and super excited and reeeeally excited and so excited I talk to Andrew at a speed of 900 words per minute (this usually happens on the way to weddings!) and, every now and then during the summertime when sessions start as late as 7:00, I sometimes get nervous that I’ll fall asleep while shooting because life in the summer with two boys under is crazy. But nervous? It’s not something I’m used to anymore!
Lucky for me, those nerves were just a five second blip in the radar when I realized it was 100 degrees out and, as soon as Peter opened the door to their hotel room, they flew out the window. Because Holly and Peter? These two are the most amazing parents! Holly and Peter live in Alaska with the cutest family ever and, this past July, they traveled to Arkansas to adopt their second Arkansas-born babe, Everett.
And Everett?
All I’m going to say is this: Baby. Fever.
I mean, seriously! I’ll say more! Everett was the sweetest (and cutest!!) baby ever – alert and happy and totally chill – and I am so happy I was able to photograph Holly and Peter with their two youngest children in the state they were both born in. I already mentioned this but Holly and Peter are the most amazing parents and it was so much fun to see them interact with Everett and his almost-a-year-older sister. These two have parenting down to an art and I am so thrilled to share this session!
Note: These photographs were taken in paternership with Red Thread Sessions – the most amazing family photography organization.
