I met up this weekend with a long time friend of mine to photograph her beautiful family. {J} was my friend and mentor when I was in high school and our relationship is so near and dear to my heart. It’s been quite a while since we’ve been able to catch up. We’re both mommies now and life gets hectic, but it’s so nice to have friendships where you can pick back up right where you left off–no matter how much time has passed

We decided to meet in Lincoln at this great reserve that even had it’s own little dog park (which proved to be quite useful for the lush, green background in our family images). Luckily no dogs were using the park at the time so we took over and had some fun!{J’s} oldest son reminds me so much of my Jacob. He is so outgoing and friendly and took to me right away (and I did to him as well). He pretended not to like the camera at first, but I knew better. I got so many amazing shots of him but this series was my absolute favorite. I love how you can see the individual seed “parachutes” falling off of the dandelion. So cool!{J’s} youngest son is more reserved with such a sweet spirit about him. He was all about the nature around us, collecting his “fuzzies” and hunting for lady bugs. I had so much fun getting to know him.

I had to get some images of the boys together. They were so hysterical making “zerberts” on each other’s faces.And right after I took this picture I knew it would be my favorite. These two are such awesome people and I’m so glad to have their family in my life.{J}, I hope you loved your sneak peek! I’ll have your online gallery up by the end of the week. It was so wonderful spending my Sunday afternoon with you–let’s plan a bbq soon so our kids can hang out! I just have a sneaking feeling that {I} and Jacob will hit it off, too!
