I met Kevin + Rebecca and their beautiful boys, Ivan and Simon, for the first time when I photographed a SURPRISE PARTY for Rebecca to celebrate 10 YEARS CANCER FREE that her husband put together last year. I had such a wonderful time capturing those memories and was beyond excited to capture their family in their new home last month in Smyrna, TN.
Many times I do sessions on location, at a public park, an indoor location like The Factory in Franklin or somewhere else more “typical.” While I love all of those, nothing compares to someone opening their home to me. It’s always so refreshing to photograph a family in their element, where they do life, laugh & love!
First we started the shoot in their large backyard with some fake mowing. (Don’t tell him it was fake, he takes it very seriously)
Then the boys picked some “flowers” (aka weeds) and showed off their cute personalities.
I love this cute blue shed they have in there backyard and the words in the window say DREAM. I know many dreams will come true in this home. 😉
Simon loves being silly and he was totally cool with me capturing it all!
Ahhh… kisses from your two boys are the best!
Ummmm, seriously can we talk about this bridge? How many people have a bridge in their backyard. LOVE IT!
Future model?
The dog was taking full advantage of the backyard so it was hard to get any photos with him, so I was happy when I captured this image of the whole family!
I love it when the parents get in on all the fun!

The sun was setting and it was setting fast, so I knew I wanted to grab a shot of just Kevin and Becca!
“Ok everyone, nice smiles…” This ended up being one of my favorite pics! SIMON’s face is my favorite!!!
PORTRAIT TIME! Anytime I can, I love to take a portrait with lighting.
Thanks so much to the Eakes family for letting me invade your home and photograph your family in all of it’s complete cuteness.
