When this mom called me for her family summer portraits, I immediately connected with her over her wish to capture a moment in time, to remember her family just as it is now, living on a darling little street, only a block away from beautiful Land Park. She wanted to remember some specific places in the park that her little boy had been going to on an almost daily basis and I loved that idea. Imagine having pictures from your own childhood of your home, neighborhood and your favorite places to play, with mom and dad at your side.

We tickled and ran and played and then Dad threw him up on his shoulders, and without being prompted, he set his sweet head down and gave Dad a squeeze. I melted.

One last quiet moment on the sofa, reading his favorite dinosaur book. What great memories to have forever.
