The Apple Dumpling Gang

Posted on October 31st, 2007 by Kate. Filed in Families

This family was referred to me by Shelly, mom to Emma. Shelly is a cousin of Chris (the daddio) and that sweet-natured all-around goodness definitely runs in the fam!

We met at Storybook Ranch for some fall family fun, and boy did I get my weekly cardio crammed into one morning (not that I actually work out, but if I did, I wouldn’t be going to the gym anytime soon after this session). Chris & Denise have 3 lovable little guys that are bundles of energy, but are also sweethearts if you can get them to stop moving for a minute! =)

Here they are…happy viewing!


Somebody (a terrific two-year-old named Reid) did not want to get on the swing for the picture. He was more into pushing. That’s ok, cuz I like this picture better this way, personally. It is my FAVE of the session!

Denise & Chris have been together for over 11 years and this is their first time to get a portrait of them as a couple since their engagement & wedding pics!

Reid graces us with his presence after hiding behind the swing.

Leaf fight!

Grant is the middle son, and is quite the gentleman.

Kyle had some cool Tony Hawk shoes that helped him accomplish lots of feats…

…such as climbing up this railing!

Time for an apple break.

On your marks…

I may have been tired by the end of our session, but I have an inkling that I WAS NOT the only one! We had some MAJOR FUN!

Thanks, Jessens, and have a wonderful holiday season!
