I got to document the Moncrief family AGAIN! I love this family! They’re so much fun to hang with and this time was no exception. In fact, they stepped it up because this time they had a bike that rides two people (+ baby) AND I got to do a mini anytime session with Jimmy and Brittany! What more could I ask for?
I also loved that I was photographing a fellow creative (read: fellow photographer). In these cases, I’m able to go beyond what I normally would do and bend the rules I normally hold onto when I’m shooting and editing. Taking creativity to the next level and be a bit more artistic. Something my heart just loves to do. Pushing my creative boundaries.
We started off going to the park near their home as I photographed the whole family on a vintage bicycle! So fun!
Little Ada was looking quite cute with her little hat on…
Found out that this bike doesn’t have gears. So riding it is NOT for the faint of heart. And the turning radius is HUGE. I kept on making them go up and down on this hill while I got the shots. By the end, they were getting tired! Getting good photos is a lot of work!

Beautiful family…
After that, they dropped Ada off at a friends and we headed downtown to photograph just the two of them! I LOVE these photos!
Love this photo! Hello! Can you see this photo blown up huge? Yeah, so can I.
Couldn’t figure out which one of these next two photos I liked best… so you get to see both of them. That’s how I roll.
Wow.
My expensive camera and I trust my clients. Can you tell?
The crazy crew afterwards…
Thank you guys for continuing to trust me with your family photos! I love it each time! You all are the best!
