Momma Claire got in touch with us a couple months ago about capturing the life of her sweet little boys, Milo (the youngest) and Morris and the family. Claire said that she wanted to capture the boys as they were right now, she did not want "picture perfect" photos... she wanted 'real' and honest imagery. Making the Greenfield's a perfect fit for right where our imagery style resides. 

This is a family that you immediately fall in love with. Their calm, ingenuous spirit captured me. They just recently moved to Seattle from South Africa so their accents are quite captivating as well. I told Claire I would love for her to just come read me to bed every night so that I could her that beautiful poem of an accent she has :). 

As typical 2 year old boys do, Morris ran away from me for most of the shoot :) So I felt like one of the frames I included in this set of his legs as he ran away was only appropriate. Milo on the other hand, was quite taken with the camera and when he looked at me with those big baby blues I might as well have just melted into a pitiful puddle on the floor. So precious.

These are gorgeous and inspiring! Well done, Sarah, for capturing the Greenfields so beautifully. I can't wait to see Claire and Jim and the big boys and hear those captivating accents back in good old South Africa again.

Sarah and Chris. You amaze me. Again and again. I love these, this family must be thrilled to have their family captured in true form. On a sidenote, the shot of the little one running away, the patch of clovers he's running on, as a little girl my sisters and brothers and I would sit for hours on my grandparents property searching for four-leaf clovers. Awesome memory that came back as I saw that photo. So thanks for that. :)

I remember that before we had Morris, James worried a lot about how he would feel and what type of father he would be. Natural thoughts to have. It's so funny now to see that he is completely enslaved. Sarah, I love the picture you have here of James & Morris together. It really captures what being a dad has done to James - turned him to mush. ;)
