“This is us!” Family: Julie, John, O, W

When I first spoke with Julie, she suggested that we spend our family session together in their back yard. If you saw this back yard, you’d understand why. What a cozy, naturey, eclectic space. She and her husband welcomed me, and their kids warmed up to me immediately (which, if you’ve been a parent of younger kids, you know isn’t always a thing). As Julie trimmed her garden, the kids swung on the swingset or cooked mudpies in their kitchen under the slide, and John stood by, smiling. There was one moment when Julie turned to me and said, gesturing to the kids playing, to the back yard, “These photos are going to be great. This is us! This is us.” This was such a relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning.
