Downtown Panama City, Family Session, Wright

Last week I was ever so lucky to shoot my sweet friend Kelly Wright (of Just Wright Photos) and her beautifully large, evergrowing and energetic family!!! We spent the afternoon walking around Downtown Panama City, chasing the light and enjoying the beautiful weather. 

At every session I love to keep things relaxed and laid-back to ensure everyone has a great time and can be themselves. When everyone is comfortable, your images reflect that.. So if that means running, then we run, if that means laughing (because I'm a pretty funny lady ya know?) then we laugh, if that means secrets, then we tell secrets...

Over the years I have been there for some amazing moments in their lives. Shooting her last two pregnancies, a birth, and tons of family portraits.. watching this group grow has been an amazing thing to be a part of. 

Plus.. I just get these kids.. 

Kelly has a special place in my heart, we've traveled together almost as much as Scott & I have!! Last year we even spent the beginning of my pregnancy in Nashville cuddled up sharing a bed!! haha!! (..so in a way, I guess we've slept together 😜😚😂jk) 

She is the calm ying to my crazy yang.. the quiet softness to my loud vibrance, a pretty and talented photographer but most importantly, she's an award winning mama. 

I envy her, her family, her perfect parenting tactics, her big newly remodeled home, her calm demeanor, her modesty, because I know she is reading this, shaking her head, hopefully teary eyed from a combo of my smooth way with words and pregnancy hormones, thinking "this b is crazy, perfect parenting?! I'm just trying to keep everyone alive' .. But YES Kelly, it's true, deal with it.. You're 'The Mom'.. because even when Benny is being cray and Delaney is full of SASS.. She never raises her voice, always keeps a smile and just makes the best of everything.. We could all learn a thing or two from this lady.

Wesley Dean will be here in a few days (as if you couldn't tell) and he has no idea how much love he is about to come into.. Even if his brother doesn't want to stand by his sisters 😂😂

WD makes 4 beautiful offspring for this lovely bunch & I reaallly hope he isn't the last.. (sorry Jeremy) But you gotta admit, you guys makes some good looking humans!!! 

So heres to shootin' pretty pregnant friends and capturing crazy kids just the way they are!!
