Family Portraits: Allysa, Josh and Emma

Surprises can be good ... or bad, especially on a photo shoot. A boggy swamp full of mosquitoes when you thought it was a nice dry field, is definitely a BAD surprise. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened this last week when I met up with Allysa and Josh to take photos of their adorable family. I'm sure you remember their daughter, Emma, from her cute photos of one of her first baths.

Allysa, Josh and Emma were all troopers. Emma was happy as a clam the entire time! I was so proud of her! Not to mention, Josh and Allysa didn't hesitate to walk a bit on a road with no sidewalk only to trek through a swampy area in pursuit of the least swamp-ish area to shoot in. Allysa also enjoyed the embarrassing roar of the bubble gun with me as I tried to control not only the bubble gun, but  take photos as well. All in all, I think it was a total success and a great time! I even have loads of mosquito bites just to remind me of how much fun we did have. Thank you, guys! You are an amazing family and I'm SO excited for your upcoming wedding! The love you have for one another and your daughter is evident in every single one of these photos. I can't wait to see your lives blossom together.

 This one is absolutely my favorite of the shoot. I'm pretty sure Allysa's hair is magical.
