The Howisons have been family friends of the Reeves for much longer than I have known David. They gave him his nickname “Reeves David,” bought out half the stickers in Washtenaw County for cards, and threw us a bridal shower. All of the Howison kids have moved all over the country (Washington, North Carolina and Texas), so when Liz told me they would all be in town at the same time, we knew we had to get some photos! There are now four kids (ages 5, 4, 2, and 0.5) and even more laughs than there have been in the past. Hope you all enjoy your photos!

 

 

Laura and Monty asked us to take pictures of the girls again six months after their last photoshoot to see how the girls have changed over time. It is so fun to see Lucy (turns 4 in March!) and Jules (turns 1 the day after Lucy’s birthday!) grow up. My favorite part is seeing them begin to interact as sisters. I’m looking forward to taking their pictures again in the future to see how quickly they change. We were even able to get a few pictures of Monty and Laura together. Check out the painting on the wall of the picture of the two of them – Monty painted that! Another awesome part was that my new camera came right before the photoshoot, so David was able to second shoot with me – yay! You’ll see many of his shots below.

 

If you think these photos look similar to another recent photoshoot – you’re right! Deanna and Laura are identical twin sisters – with daughters almost identical ages. When Laura emailed me about doing family portraits for Deanna, I was so happy – it was such a joy to shoot Laura’s family that I knew Deanna’s would be no different. And I was completely right – Rick, Deanna, Bella and Liv were a dream to photograph. Not only are they a beautiful family, but they have a beautiful home. I enjoyed my time there so much and am especially thankful to David for helping out with the girls during some of the shots!

I was really excited when Laura asked if I could photograph her family at home. Laura and Monty are just such a cool couple, and their girls are quickly taking after them. The whole family, including Lucy (3) and Julia (4.5 months), made it so easy to take pictures. I loved Lucy’s sass and Julia was so easy going. I really enjoyed the time I got to spent with their family before school starts.
