A few weeks ago I got to spend an afternoon with Thania, Tony, their two adorable sons, and their extended family for a few fall portraits at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens.  Thania is a fabulous makeup artist and hairstylist who I have worked with in the past (and who even did my own wedding day makeup and hair!) and Tony is a skilled optometrist, who recently outfitted my husband and I with stylish new glasses.  Last year, Thania and Tony asked me to photograph them with their adorable one year old, Tyler, just after his birthday.  Now, a year later, they have a new addition to their family, sweetheart Lucas!  In addition to wanting pictures with their newborn, they also wanted a few portraits of their extended family, which consists of Thania’s three sisters and their families.  This is special, tight-knit group.  They all live near one another and get to spend a ton of time with one another, especially the kids, and I am completely jealous of their huge family.  They all get along so well and they clearly have lots of love for one another.  I had a ton of fun photographing this close family.  :)
