The Story...

Before I show you the photos from this session I want to give you a little background information.  I have been photographing Michal, Shimmy and their children for several years.  Michal found me way back when she just moved to the area and I was just starting out.  I have had the privilege of photographing these guys every single year, and have gotten to know them all pretty well.  

The fun thing about these guys is that they are always looking for something different to do.  They push me creatively and I love them for it!  Last summer they celebrated their ten year anniversary and wanted to do a session to document those ten years.

The Idea...

We choose a location that had open fields and flowers - it really had a farm-like feel to it.  Michal had the idea of wearing her wedding dress for part of the session.  How much fun is that?  The plan was to capture some beautiful images of Michal and Shimmy alone and then add the kids one at a time ending with a photo that captured the crazy reality that life becomes with multiple children!

The Result...

We also did a quick wardrobe change and managed to time it perfectly with the sun setting behind the field.  No, that sun is not photoshopped in.  This is among one of my favorite photo sessions I've done!  I have to thank Michal and Shimmy for constantly providing inspiration and opportunity to step outside the box.
