Words can’t even start to describe how excited I was to do this shoot. You see, this one is very special to me because this is my baby sister and her 7 year old son with their soon-to-be husband/father. And as awkward as some of the kissy-face more intimate moments are (the ones that take place in any engagement shoot) when you are dealing with your little sis, it was worth it just to share that sunny evening with them as they took yet another step to becoming a family. Afterall, families have photos to prove that they are together, right? I like to think so 🙂

Beautiful pictures! Beautiful family!!!
These are so great! And your sister has the most beautiful hair ever — I’m so jealous of her curls!
I wish I had those curls too!!
wow! Amazing!
Great pictures!! Your sister looks so happy and in love. How sweet! And what happened to all of little Coley’s teeth?! Looks like the tooth fairy has been busy! 🙂
Katie…lovely photos! I look forward to seeing your new photo posts and this one was especially beautiful! Love,Love,Love!
Um, crazy, but I used to go to church with Andrew back in high school! Small world! He’s a good egg. Lovely pics!
That is a small world 🙂 Boots is such a great guy and I’m glad to have him as a brother!

First of all…I love Cole in all of the photos–especially his huge smile with his missing front teeth! But second…the photos in general are gorgeous 🙂
Love the photo of the little boy’s toothless grin! He’s a cutie!
These pictures are great!
I really like the jumping picture 🙂
So sweet! Just goes to show that a beautiful family can start in all sorts of ways!
You take the most beautiful photos Katie. The one of them jumping is so so so awesome! I love them all.
So fun! I love the jumping shot and the one of the entire family lying on the ground together! I love capturing moments with my family as well. Such a blessing to be able to do that for them.
These are really sweet. I love them all. Great job, capturing those precious moments!
Beautiful Pictures!!!
Wish I was close, ’cause I’d call you! So good 🙂
GORGEOUS photos, KB! How come Norn is SO beautiful?!?!? Lovely. And Cole is adorable as always. Love the jumping picture of the 3 of them!
Simply gorgeous!
Cute family! Can you ask your sister what products she uses on her curls. I have curly hair, and need help! Her hair is beautiful!
Can I just say how jealous I am of your sister’s hair?!? Beautiful!! You capture their happiness and excitement so well!
I love #17 the best but the jumping one is really cute and #15 is pretty with the sun flare!
I love these and can’t wait to see the wedding pictures! Katie, do you use actions and if so which ones do you use? Thanks!
Yes I do use actions – most of them are homemade though 🙂

naw…. gorgeous!
GOOSEBUMPS! These pics are especially lovely. My favourite is the sun flare & for them the hand-holding kiss against the wall (but awkward for me since I felt like I was intruding in a very special moment). You are so talented KB & Norn is lucky to have you to do this for her whenever you can squeeze her into your busy schedule. They already look like a very happy family.
these are gorgeous!
is norn her full name?
Nornie is actually a nickname…her real name is Lori 🙂 I think we all have nicknames in our family – some make more sense than others!

Yes, I second the request of what products she uses on her hair. She is gorgeous and those curls are awesome…unlike mine. Congrats to Norn and Boots and Cole!!
they are so cute. i love how norn is pointing her toes, like a ballerina, in the jumping picture.
I LOVE every single one! You and your sister have the same gorgeous smile!
wow = those are amazing!! you are really rockin’ at the photography thing!! It’s so fun to watch your talent blossom!!
Absolutely gorgeous! Your whole family is so photogenic!
If you ever come to Melbourne, Australia, please please PLEASE take some shots of me and my family!! We’ve got twins due any day now, and I wish I had a good photographer here (or I could take some better shots) to capture the sweets!! You’re so amazing and talented!!
Great job! Your sister and her family are beautiful… and you’re a talented photographer!
That jumping shot is AWESOME, not an easy shot to get at all! :o)
man. some of these are just fan-freakin-tastic. way to go katie. 🙂
