The Schaller Family

Warning alert, warning alert: CUTENESS OVERLOAD ENSUES …. NOWWWWWWWWW

I’m reintroducing you to the Schaller Family. What a fun session this was! I’m always amazed how I can end a family session sometimes feeling just as tired as I do a wedding and I gotta say, this family kept me on the move! Mostly it was my efforts to keep up with the little ones. Annika and Matthew, you guys were a blast!

This probably sounds a little wackadoo, but I’m someone who believes a smidge in the whole aura of people. Maybe it’s all the years of yoga I’ve taken, but if the Schallers’ were a color, I’d say they were (collectively) yellow. (Which, coincidently happens to be my favorite! No wonder we got along!) Intelligent, creative, playful, optimistic and easy-going. Yep, I can’t think of better words to describe this delightful foursome!

Thanks again to the Schallers for a wonderful day of park exploring. And make sure to enjoy THEIR SLIDESHOW too! (My friend Betsy introduced me to the song I chose ages ago, and it’s always been a song that makes me think of my own family with a smile! )

So, so adorable …

On your mark? Ready … set … GO!!!!!!!

I love that Molly wanted to bring along the family pooch, Pierre. It was so fun to watch this little guy (a Jack Russell) tag along with us. He had to keep those little legs a-movin’!

Annika is EVERYTHING I remember about being 7. Missing teeth, a little camera shy (’til she gets to know you), coming into herself. We bonded over her Hello Kitty necklace, the American Girl series, and a mutual love of hats

Molly this photo is as much for you as it is Matthew. I feel like any child who has a photo like this with his or her mama is a very lucky child indeed

Molly mentioned that she and her husband, Soren, hadn’t had photos taken of just the two of them since their wedding 12 years ago this month. Well now, we had to take care of THAT problem!

Perfection.

Molly is a knitter too and, turns out, she is one of my friends on Ravelry. So naturally, we had to fit in a little talk about our love of yarn and I had to go gaga over these precious hats she made for her little ones!

I love this photo so much!

What a beautiful boy who just happens to love his puppy very, very much

And….everybody cuddle!!!

Thanks again you guys and may these photos be a joyful reminder of your love for one another this holiday season!
