The minute I saw this image on my screen, I just felt happiness. Fresh air, warm breeze, soft sunlight, and the infectious giggles of children … Happiness.


These precious kids belong to a good friend and fellow Alpharetta photographer. Since we photographers seldom get a chance to be in front of the camera, we must remember to plan for such a time when we can actually be IN our own family portraits. So I was honored when the M family asked me to capture these images of their family together. The rain held off and the mosquitos only started their attack at the end of the session, so it all came together perfectly!
And check out the outfits … perfectly coordinated in great color … great job, M Family!!
Thank you for sharing your family time with me.

Jeannine - Thank you sooooo much Shannon. These are just outstanding! It’s so great to have some portraits with ALL of us in them (and me not sweating the details, LOL). You are such a blessing to me and my family!
Ashley - Look how they all curl their toes alike – too cute! So are you taking your own advice? Who is taking your family portrait and when do we get to see the pics of your entire family
shannon - Thank you, Jeannine! I am blessed to know you as well.
Ashley, soon! We actually did family portraits at the beach, compliments of my dad, but I just haven’t posted any. I hope to have an official session for my own family sometime this fall for our Christmas cards.
