Yesterday my husband and I went to see our good friends, Austin and Julie L. (who, I might add, are marking their 10th wedding anniversary later this month!) and their daughters Paige and Quinn.

It was a gorgeous day! While the guys were getting the grill ready for a cookout, the gals were prepping for a spring photo shoot.

The last time I took photos of the family in September 2014, Quinn was still baking in mama’s oven. Quite a bit has changed since then, as you can see below.

Paige practiced holding the sign and sitting in her chair.

And Austin and Julie took turns holding the girls.

Everyone matched in their peaches-and-cream colored outfits.

Then it was Paige’s turn to hold her little sister. She was so proud!

While Quinn went inside to take a nap, Paige explored the backyard and picked some lawn flowers.

After some yummy brats, burgers and beans, the girls got in their matching “bee” pajamas and said goodnight.

There is so much love in this beautiful family. I feel honored to capture these special moments, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for them. Happy (early) anniversary!
