I love my job, love it. What I love most is how breathtaking people are, and how beautiful they and their families are, and how I get to be a part of those relationships and that realness for a short time, like an observer, watching and adoring and admiring....

These pictures of Hannah take my breath away. Before our session she worried a bit to her mom that she would have to be too pose-y, wear a dress, get floofy, etc. Nope, not with me. I just wanted her to be just who she is - and she did. She is beautiful and energetic and smart and whitty! Her little brother just watched... watched and checked often with mom and dad to be sure he was OK. And then he became melty in his sisters arms, just melted right into her.

Did I say I love my job?
Ok I'm not the first, as much as I like to think I am in all things :) There IS another Steim family out there, in fact several of them! This is my husband's brother and his family, The Other Steim Family - OK THEY were first :) Their kids have grown up so much! I still remember the day Ryan was born, their firstborn, when my husband and I were just dating. Look at that boy, my GOODNESS is he handsome! I am so in love with his hair, LOVE IT! He had such a cool smile (or non-smile) - awesome. And Megan is the second child, what a beautiful old soul, she seems so maternal. Look at her face and her eyes, she seems much older than her years. Briann is the third child, and what an attitude! I love how she posed for every picture, she knew exactly how she wanted to look each time. Alayna, the youngest, was not so interested in our session. It took awhile for her to warm up and I'm not sure she was really ever that comfortable with me, though she was certainly comfortable with her sibs. My favorite part of any family sessions are towards the end when I encourage folks to let loose - and this session was no exception. The leaf fight was AWESOME! They came back to my home after the session and after they were gone I found leaves all over my house, especially the bathroom. Thanks for being so flexible Steim Family! It was a totally fun session and great to spend time with you, as always.
