The Wenzels are such a vibrant, fun, loving family. When I think of them I think of vivid colors, creativity and happiness. I have known Kelly for some time as we connected through Stella and Dot and I truly don’t think there is anything the woman can’t do or accomplish. She is a bundle of creative energy… determination… and love for her family. I have photographed both of her children’s birthday parties this past year and I will be blog posting about those in the future because they were so adorable, but today I want to focus on her family session that we shot at the Shops at Legacy near Mother’s Day. Kelly wanted to do a session that involved both her mom and her husband Brent’s mom and of course the kids, Cooper and Hadley. I thought this was such a lovely idea because let’s face it… where would we be without our moms? The legacy of love is passed down through generations and what better way to commemorate this than with some lovely photos?
Just to prove that great creative minds think alike Kelly and I showed up that day in the same fun print from the Gap… what are the odds? They do say birds of a feather flock together.
This may sound a bit crazy, but there is a blue wall at the Shops at Legacy that I just love and it was perfect for this family who is the farthest thing from blue!
It’s always so much fun for me to capture connections between people who love each other… whether it is a family like this, a couple, or a wedding party. The best thing is when you have repeat clients like Kelly and you form a friendship and you see their family grow.
There is nothing like a little ice cream to round out a perfect photo session! How absolutely perfect is this family? I joked with Kelly that the J Crew catalogue had nothing on them… and that is a high compliment coming from me as I love J Crew. This lady has style and it spills over and translates to her adorable family and everything she touches… but even more importantly Kelly has a huge heart.
I had so much fun with you guys! I can’t wait for the Christmas photos!
