We've been working on a project for a while now, and I think it's time we introduce More Than Twenty! More Than Twenty is our new family and kids' portrait photography business. Our weddings aren't going anywhere - we'll still be filling our summers with lots of dresses, flowers and parties, but we did want to separate our family portrait work and give it a space of its own.

You can check out the new site and blog. Our first family for the summer is up on the blog over there right now - these adorable lovelies, Samantha + her folks. Go over and say hi!

Now that we've been doing this in Buffalo for a while, we're starting to grow with families who we've worked with a few times of the years. Seeing Charlie over the years is pretty rad for me. I was at her first birthday party - and now suddenly she's almsot four. And she's awesome and has some pretty awesome parents.

I love photographing kids - especially the ones that just want to run around and have fun and are completely full of energy. These were fun :).

It's also unreal how fast time flies - I can't believe that was nearly three years ago. I know we gush on and on about how much we love shooting families every time we do a family shoot (because, well, we do!), but I truly feel there is something pretty epic about capturing not just your kids on camera, but the whole family together because seriously kids grow so fast, and I think it's so important to have those shots together. And I know I'm old for being all, "kids grow so fast," but it's true. Anyway, our new one doesn't sleep, you know - ever, so I'm on the verge of typing incoherent emotional gushiness, so I'm gonna stop typing (at least, on this of our marathon posting sesh) and hand it back to Rich.

So true - all of it. Guys, thank you so much for having us out to shoot you again! And, of course, for wall coffee and the butt chairs :). And for having a cat name Orange Kitties - these are all awesome things. I hope we get to do it again soon :).
