What a fun group of people! I was happy to accept a job from my friend, Kelly, to come to the beach and photograph her wonderful family when she asked me in the spring. I happened to be at the same beach the same weekend with my family, so it was meant to be. As the weeks went on, I came to understand that this photo shoot would not just be for the Topoll family, but for them with their best friends! What a fun idea! I loved meeting the Gleasons and the Larsons. All of the kiddos were having the time of their lives during our photo shoot. I loved seeing them splash in the water, pick up sea shells, and race through the sand. Brayden, Lily and (almost) Gavin are students at my school, so I obviously have already fallen in love with them! It was really special to get to be taking these photos on Brayden’s 6th birthday AND Kelly & Michael’s 14th wedding anniversary.

The group was also celebrating a coming up 10 year anniversary of the Gleasons!  The 3 Gleason children were hilarious and adorable as soon as I met them. I especially loved the group of people behind me making silly noises to get baby Brennan to laugh! So funny! The Larson family was s0 fun and incredibly sweet. I love seeing a sisterly bond start at such a young age! Maddy was so wonderful with her baby sister! Thank you guys for working with me and having a blast with the photo shoot! 🙂
