Happy Grandparents Day! | Killeen Family Photographer

Grandparents are special people!  I was and still am lucky enough to know all of mine very well and see them often growing up.  Many many good times.  I can't tell you how much I would love to have had the session below for myself and my cousins to have forever.  I'm jealous.  Sometimes, pictures are more than visual images.  They store memories of not only the hour the session took place, but they spark so many other memories when looking through them.  I can look at one picture of my Mammaw sitting at her spot during Christmas and remember how we all laughed when she opened presents she had no idea what they were or called a new sweater "kinda wild lookin'."  Ah, I could go on and on but I'll get super sappy so I'll stop.  Onto the session...

Meet Tina & Mike!  They have 3 beautiful grandchildren and when they all got together Easter weekend, we did a mini session.  It was obviously not lately since the grass is still that no-so-common color anymore, green.    Remember green?  Sigh.  The kids had a blast and I know Mike and Tina did as well.  Grandparents are fun!  The kids were relaxed and they loved a good tickle & kissy attack!  I think the happiness and love shows for itself.  

So, in honor of a belated Grandparents day, I encourage you to do a session like this.  It doesn't have to be formal with a photographer and you don't have to use us!  Just put it on your to-do list.  It's definitely on mine.  Your kids will thank you.  They also make great Christmas presents and we can make up some really cute gift certificates!

One big, happy family! | Killeen Family Photographer

I love extended families!  I'm lucky enough to get to see most of mine on my mom's side every Sunday, so I was excited to get to do a large family session.  What a great opportunity to take advantage of while everyone is in town at the same time!  Little cousins running around among green grass, flowers, and the pond?  Perfect.   We went to UMHB for this session (not many places around here have green grass, flowers, or water right now) and it was beautiful as always!  We started at the pond where they have pink and yellow lily pads blooming and the kids had a blast running around the pond and through the oak trees.  Grandpa says, "Now this is the way to take family pictures!"  My heart smiled.  

We moved around the campus with no interference.  Students hadn't started back to school yet so we really were by ourselves.  We were able to run, swing, jump, and climb.  After pulling a few tricks out of my sleeve, I got individual pics of all the kids and we were all done!  I think Trevor figured out pretty quick I was lying about there being a hot air balloon in my camera lens!  I really enjoyed this family and wish them all safe travel and Mr. Holtmeyer, who is serving our country overseas, a safe trip home soon!
