Folsom Family Photographer | Bre + Reid

I was so excited to photograph my good friend, Bre Thurston, and her son, Reid last month when she was visiting from Seattle. Bre is a wedding photographer and new transplant to WA state 🙂  She has taken our family photos every year and I was looking forward to getting the chance to do some photos for her.

We loaded up the car and headed out to a sunny little hideaway spot, armed with fruit snacks and toy cars…hoping for lots of smiles and a cooperative four-year old.  I believe the session was a success, we kicked around a lot of dirt, hugged, cuddled, and played our way through!  This little guy put up a fight and was not completely sold on the idea of photos, but in the end his love for his goofy and incredibly sweet mama won him over.  Reid is one of the sweetest little boys I know and it warms my heart watching him interact with his mama.

There is nothing I love more than images of mothers and sons playing and laughing…that could be because I am the mom to a wild little three-year-old myself!  Moms, you all know there is nothing better than your little man’s arms wrapped around your neck in a huge hug.

I love the smiles, but something about a serious little child is just beautiful.

I. Love. This. Image!  This is parenthood and makes all the tough times worth it!Being a mother is hard work, and there are so many things that you are never told about the trials and reality of life with a child…but there is also a pure joy and happiness that comes from the bond with your little boy 🙂These two are so stinking cute!Love!
And one of Bre…she really is as fun as she looks!
