A Day in the Life of an active family of 5 | A week ago today I hopped on a plane bound for the Lone Star state, weighted down with all my gear, to shoot my very first Day in the Life session. I had truly forgotten how muggy Houston is and I now appreciate the fantastic weather in Colorado even more. I brought Chloe along so she could visit with family while I was working, but as we got closer to landing I began to have visions of Chloe hysterically crying for me as my sister-in-law drove away. That didn’t happen as Chloe just waved bye-bye, it was totally anti-climactic.
So how did I come to shoot this fabulous family for an entire day? It went something like this.
Me: ::Posted travel session dates for Dallas on my Facebook Page::
Sabrina: Ummm are you coming to Houston for sessions anytime soon?
Me: Instead of a 2 hour family session do you want to consider letting me shoot y’all for an entire day? ::held breath for response::
I only had two requests, that she have lots of coffee and that I get to try a Billy’s Donut that she raved on about here. The boys helped make breakfast and even decided to make my coffee for me on demand ::love::. The blueberry cake donut was perhaps the best one I have ever eaten. I am actually craving one right now.
These are just a few shots from the morning. I woke up at 6:30 and two of them were already up. I should have set an alarm to get up at 5:30am ready to jump out of the shadows like a ninja LOL. This day was entirely too much awesomeness to share in one post. There is never a dull moment in this house while the kids are awake. Check back later for the entire session in fusion.
Oh I have to do this again really soon. I will be announcing the addition of DITL sessions for 2015 next month. Stay tuned.
