The photographer world tends to be a small community and a rather tight-knit one at that. I can’t remember how or when April Cochran-Smith of Pure Photography got put on my radar, but one Facebook friending led to a Twitter following and the next thing you know, I feel like I’ve know the gal for ages and wished she didn’t live 2 hours away in Lafayette!
When she contacted me about taking photos of her family, I hopped at the chance. This is just a sneak peek of what’s to come and while I’m all, “I don’t usually blog THREE photos for family sneak peeks,” darn it all if April, her husband Dustin, and their little man, Jack, aren’t too cute to deny you all a triple peek. (It was either that or a full post that, no joke, would have been bulging with 20 photos!)
This photo is so precious. Makes me think of the Dr. Seuss “Hop on Pop” book but instead, the Smiths are playing “Hop on Jack.” He LOVED it!
April is due this July with their second boy and she is one hot mama (and mama-to-be). I ADORE this photo. And while she may have cringed that it was hiding in the barn, that’s Dustin’s old Camaro that you can barely see back there (I think it’s a Camaro, right guys?). The only reason I’m sharing is that Dustin informed me it was the car he and April went on their first date on. Ahhhhhh…. Their couple-cuteness ratio just went way up, right? 
I have photo after photo of Dustin looking at April like this and I think it’s both the sweetest and the sexiest thing. They make 11 years of marriage look GOOOOODDDDDDDD. Can’t WAIT to share the rest!
And April, will you do me the honor of making one of these your Facebook profile? I’D LOVE IT!
