I got to see the Martin family a little earlier this year! 

Tad and Lily are growing so fast, especially Tad! I love catching up with clients yearly - it is so much fun to watch the kids grow thru the years and it's even more special with the Martin family. 

I have photographed nearly every milestone of the Martin family - I just don't photograph newborns. 

I photographed Jeremiah (Frog) and Brandi's wedding wayyyyyy back when. They got married at the Salmon Valley Golf Course and it really was so great! From there I have taken maternity photos, family photos, just the kids and more. 

Normally I see them during the fall or winter but was so excited for a summer session with them! Brandi took advantage of Frog being home and scheduled family portraits despite his mullet. After all these years Jeremiah has slowly but surely been better about family photos. Not a lot of husbands are "excited" to be taking family photos just for the simple reason of the stress and everything that comes with that. 

Even though the idea is never '"fun" for family photos I promise you I make it as easy and fun as it can be - which can be really fun and pretty easy. 

We got bit by bugs and attacked by ants but got some great shots for them! Lilly is at that fun age of getting her to smile and Tad is at the fun age of smiling "normal," but loved the shots we were able to get. We walked around and even got into the river for some! So happy they did a summer session.
