Dimples and Freckles | Oakton Family Photography

A couple weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing my six year old’s best friend and her family.  How cute is this little girl with her dimples.

She has an older brother and an older sister, who are equally as adorable.  I love their dark hair and dark eyes.  Oh, and all those freckles!  Gorgeous.

Mom was a little hesitant to get in the photos herself.  We’ve all been there.  Who really enjoys getting their photo taken?  I know we had our family portraits done two weeks ago, and it was an odd experience for me.  In an uncomfortable way.  I am much happier behind the lens.  Well, look here at this beautiful mom and her husband (who happens to be an excellent soccer coach — just ask my eight year old daughter!).  They are all a great looking bunch.

As an sixth grade boy, N. was a little uncomfortable in all the “stiff” clothes (you know, there was a collar involved).  At the first sign that the photos might be done (I think it was after one shutter click…), he was asking if he could go change.  Typical boy, huh?  Here he is in his “preferred attire.”

L. is friends with my eight year old.  “BFF’s” you know.

And C just doesn’t like to be still for too long.  Always on the move and doing something.

And here is my favorite shot of the day.  The way C. rests her head on N’s shoulder, it just kills me.  Precious.  And true.

Barb Liszcz - I’ve been anticipating your next blog post, Aileen. Patiently waiting. You never let me down. These photos are incredible. What gorgeous kids! Love those dimpled cheeks and dark eyes. I know just how you feel about being in front of the camera. It feels awkward. I’d much rather be behind the lense myself. :) I look forward to seeing your family’s photo. Did you do them yourself? … Thank you for sharing these beautiful portraits of a beautiful family. Superb job, as always.

Erica - I love the ones of the kids being kids the most. So much more natural and representative of the way parents see their kids. I’d much rather have those on my wall than pictures of uncomfortable kids in stiff clothes!
