the eckerts go to my church here in cville and we have spent a bit of time with them, but i don’t feel like i really got to know them until this session. and it was a blast! they have so many sides to each of their personalities and such sweet, dynamic kids. (and an adorable dog that i couldn’t resist playing with the whole session!) and on top of it all- they are just all five beautiful people.

i can already tell how creative they will be (just like their mother). this photo was joe’s idea:

so much sweetness to go around:

and a whole lot of silliness too:

and don’t forget the romance:

or the boys being boys:

amy is one awesome mom, and it’s sweet to see how much her kids love her:

this necklace has a really significant meaning to their family, but i won’t be the one to tell you why. : )

you guys were a joy to capture!

now i’m off to another family session. this one on a farm and involving lots and lots of animals. can’t wait to share those photos next week!
