It’s no secret I love doing sessions at Smithville Mansion and the park around it. No matter what time of day or the season it’s just an awesome place to go. I met the Cairns Family there in the fall of 2020 to do a family session with their little girl and it was so much fun. It was really hard narrowing down which pictures to use for this post. There were so many cute moments.
I love when families get together to do an extended session. They take a lot of work to coordinate everyone’s schedules, outfits and hope all the kids cooperate but the payoff is so worth it! For this session we were blending two extended families so it was extra special. Everyone looked amazing together with their coordinating (but not matching) outfits. They all complimented each other so nicely when we mixed up the groupings and worked well together in their little family units.
I met Ainsley and her parents at Smithville Mansion for a family session and 2nd birthday portraits. We lucked out with a beautfiul day that luckily wasn’t too warm. Ainsley gave me my workout for the day running around after her but we had so much fun! I love letting toddlers play and run during our session so we can capture natural smiles and laughs! After we took Ainsley’s portraits we did some family pictures around the Smithville Mansion grounds. I love shooting there since they always keep the mansion so beautifully decorated and it didn’t disappoint for this session.
