Do this fun family look familiar? They should! Miranda & Josh officially tied the knot this spring – they were my very first wedding of 2015! Their wedding day was so gorgeous, but we knew with all of the family & friends that had traveled in, we wouldn’t have quite as much time as we’d like for portraits of just the 3 of them – Miranda, Josh, and Annabelle. So, we planned to get together again, after the wedding, to celebrate this family.

Aren’t they stinking adorable? I just have to brag for a moment on Josh: he is Papa Bear – keeping a close eye on his little princess & his new wife. He’s fiercely protective, but not in an over-powering way, it definitely overflows from a heart of love. He simply adores his little family. He is constantly flirting and teasing Miranda and doting on little Annabelle. It was so refreshing to watch – most Dads struggle at being comfortable & being themselves in front of a camera – but Josh had no problem. He was authentically himself & it was beautiful.

So, we got together and played on the playground, ran in the soccer fields, swang on the swings, and of course, slide down the slide about 782 times. It was a glorious summer evening and we had a blast!
