Anna and Ryan originally contacted me about a fall family session, and I was all booked up in the afternoons, so they were up for the sunrise session!  Their family rocked the early morning portrait session, and they have too many amazing pictures in their gallery.  When Ryan and Anna originally contacted me, I did not make the connection that we already knew each other.  When Anna hopped out of the truck, I thought that I recognized her.  However, it took me until I saw her husband to make the connection that they were at Heather and Issac’s wedding last year.  Heather is Ryan’s sister!

It was so much fun to see Anna and Ryan’s family interact together.  Their boys thoroughly enjoyed making silly faces at each other for their moment alone on the bench together.  Their younger son had an injured leg, and he was limited to his standing and walking capabilities.  This meant that he was often hiked up on a hip.  This provided Anna and Ryan with plenty of kisses and love from their younger son.  There may have been the occasional lick in there as well!

Anna and Ryan, it truly was the highlight of my day being surprised that it was your family for the sunrise session! I could not have asked for a better start to my day.  I am so happy that we were able to get plenty of family pictures, and especially pictures of the two of you together.  I can see how much love you two share and the love you have for your sons.  I am so excited for you to see some of my many favorites from your early morning sunrise session.  I am so happy the bench made its way into the field, because it gave your sons this super close moment together.  I hope you will cherish these pictures for a lifetime.
