The Moran Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

I love this family!

I love photographing them each year and I love that a couple of years ago, I wrote in a blog post, "I kinda want to be Heidi's friend..." and she read it and then we became friends! :)  Simple as that!  Ha.

It actually really was as simple as that...because she (and her family) is simply amazing and loving and kind and fun and just all around great people.

We have fun during our photo sessions...

These kids...oh.em.gee!!!!

Heidi and Jim are pretty adorable too!  They are just an awesome couple!

Helaina is such a great kid...a sweet 2nd grader who is an awesome big sister!

Breleigh is so full of personality and spunk...my camera loves these girls!

Easton...oh my goodness Easton.  Look at that face!!!  EEK!  He is a mix of sweet and ornery and I could just take him home!

An amazing group of siblings...

An amazing family...

Back when I was chatting with Heidi about the plan for the session, she mentioned the idea of doing pictures of the children in costume.  You see, this family LOVES Halloween and as you will see by the costumes, Heidi takes styling her children for the holiday very seriously and is uber talented.  I asked her to send me a picture of the costumes they were going to wear and the SECOND I got the image of Helaina in her Wolf Fairy cloak, I envisioned THIS image exactly...

And this one too...

You guys...to put a vision in my head into print like this was like a dream.  I am SO happy that Heidi was willing to bring her kids' costumes so that I could capture these images for her.  And I have to give Helaina crazy huge props for her modeling work.  I mean, she's SEVEN...and she KILLED it...like really killed it.  Love that girl.

You think that's all?  OH NO...check out Breleigh's incredible Pocahontas costume!  To DIE for!  And she killed it too!  I was in photographer heaven with these girls!  The sunset, the beautiful setting, the incredible costumes and the amazing models.  Love!

Still...it wasn't done.  I got to photograph the cutest little Mickey Mouse who ever existed!  Easton was dressed and full of smiles and spunk for his moment to shine as Mickey!

All together now...

It's hard to put into words how much I loved doing this session!  Thank you Heidi, Jim, Helaina, Breleigh and Easton for being such incredible subjects yet again!
