MY FAMILY AND THE FIELD [Jake & Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographers]

This session, MY session, embodies everything me.

How I live.

How I love.

How I work.

I had been trying to figure out how to have some family photos taken that would reflect who we are as a family as well as my style as a photographer. Since every photographer has their own style, the answer seemed to be [take them myself]. Easier said than done.

Then I passed this field one day. And it all clicked. I couldn't wait until the weekend to take my family out there and just photograph them [being]. The interaction between my children simply takes my breath away. God knew what he was doing when he made them and gave them to ME.

play play play. that is what we do all day.

Jake and Luke are quite the pair. Every day when Jake walks in the door, Luke goes running with arms wide open saying "da- deeeeeeee!"

ahhh. my people :)

You can't be in a field this large and not find at least one tiny lady bug.

nature lesson, kids!

my sweet boy

LOVE this image of me and the kids. LOVE it.

So glad Jake is a good photographer too.

Turns out I take my family photos with my camera set on top of our old trusty diaper bag.

so simple.

so us.

And for those of you that faithfully follow my blog [thank you!!!] you will have to humor me.

I am sending this link to my entire family so I felt I must include these again.

My very favorite of Reagan.

Oh, how she is FULL of joy :)

I do not reorder the images. I leave them in the order that I took them so that you can watch the magic unfold :)

Now that I think about it, this was the perfect post for EARTH DAY :)

PURPLE FLOWERS & MY SWEET GIRL [Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographer]

So THIS is the whole reason I went back to find the perfect field.

I passed this field of beautiful purple flowers while I was out last week and I just couldn't get these images out of my head. I knew Reagan would LOVE them. And I was right.

She was SO CAREFUL walking through them. It would have been a tragedy to step on even one.

I couldn't narrow my favorites down. I just love the progression. How she moves through the openness at her will. How she looks so happy and carefree.

I love that she chose her jewelry. A necklace she made last year at Summer Fun Week at church.

Can't you just HEAR her laughing :)

I think this is what being a KID is all about.

Being free to be you.

Being LOVED by your parents.

Being ADORED by your brother.

All I can wish as a parent is to provide my children with a happy and secure home in which they can grow and become who they are meant to be.

delightfully,

Monica

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER [Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographer]

I posted a note on facebook about this beautiful field I happened across last week.

I couldn't get it out of my head. So Saturday afternoon by the light of the setting sun I took my favorite images to date of my family.

This image simply melts me.

I am so fortunate that my kids LOVE each other. They always want to be together. They hug often for no reason at all.

I will treasure this image for the rest of my life.

delightfully,

Monica
