Audrey and Chase

A couple of weeks ago, the door to our studio opened and all we could see over the half wall at our entrance was a little tiny head of bouncy blonde curls. Ah yes… we were expecting the blonde curls and they were right on time. Attached to the adorable blonde bouncy curls was an equally bouncy little girl named Audrey who is all full of sunshine and personality.

This was our yearly portrait session with Audrey, but this time there was a new addition – she brought along her new baby brother, Chase. We had a fabulous afternoon playing together in the studio and getting some great portraits for mom and dad at the same time. We couldn’t wait to share so here they are!

One thing that was so funny when we going through these images. We realized just how much Audrey reminds us of her mom, Kristin. We’ve known Kristin and Charlie for almost 6 years now (has it really been that long?!?). We photographed their wedding and it’s so much fun for us to watch their family grow. But when we were editing the images from our latest session, I kept hearing Rene say, “Audrey has the SAME expressions as Kristin!” I love it!

Audrey has such a fun personality and there’s no hiding how she feels at any given time. And so we proudly present to you….the many expressive faces of Audrey.

And now the very latest addition to the Dennison family! Chase is an amazing baby – so tiny and perfect. On top of that, he is such a mellow and happy little guy – he was so patient and let us do whatever we wanted:

There’s nothing like a big sister hug:

This next image cracked me up. Chase and Audrey were sitting next to each other, very quietly and mellow-like. When all of a sudden, Audrey let out a happy screech from the very top of her lungs. We all jumped about 3 miles and then burst out laughing, but what cracks me up now, is Chase’s reaction. Kristin (their mom) reports that Chase is now so used to Audrey excitement that he doesn’t even flinch anymore.

We had such a blast with Chase and Audrey and it was so amazing to finally meet Chase in person. Kristin reports that everyone promptly fell into an exhausted sleep after our session. Congratulations again, Kristin and Charlie, on your newly expanded beautiful family! We’ll be getting together with Audrey and Chase again in August, but this time with their mom and dad for a full family session and we can’t wait to see them again!
