A Wonderful Sunday Afternoon
I'm not sure how I get so lucky. The families that welcome me into their homes are just so darn nice! By the time I walk out their door, I honestly feel like I've made a few new friends. Such was the case with Jyotsana and Adam who recently invited me to document one of their typical Sunday afternoons. It was wonderful. Adding to the Cuteness Quotient in their home is their 14-month-old son Connor, and their sweet dog Lulu. This session is a perfect example of how a family's "ordinary" moments come to life and unfold in the most beautiful way. Without further ado, I will let their photos tell their story of A Wonderful Sunday Afternoon.

. . . which paid off big time in getting to help with Sunday brunch clean up.
And what's a Wonderful Sunday Afternoon without a little game of billiards?
Followed by a trip upstairs for a diaper and wardrobe change.
First, a quick little cleanup.
Connor's nursery was also the perfect place for some play time with mommy.
Connor modeled his special Nepali hat.
Then it was time for hide and seek.
Connor and Lulu had some more fun together.
Thank you again, Jyotsana, Adam, Connor and Lulu for a Wonderful Sunday Afternoon. To see more images from this documentary family photography session, please visit the Shaler Township Family gallery on my website, www.katebuckleyphotography.com
Real Families, Real Life
One of the great things about being a documentary family photographer is the feeling that I have when I realize that a family trusts me to be a part of their daily life. I consider it a real honor to spend time with a family and capture those moments that only happen when it's "just family" around. Because as we all know, there are all sorts of moments that can occur on an ordinary day.
The sweet moments with daddy,
the quiet times to do your own thing,
the sad times when only a hug from mommy will do,
the silly times,
the "BUT I WAS PLAYING WITH THAT!" moments,
and even the "OK, everyone is tired now" moments.
But let's face it, these are the moments that make up all of our lives, and I truly believe that these are the moments that we all want to capture and remember.
So thank you, Jamie, Gabe, Lucy, Eva, and Lena. Thank you for trusting me to come into your lives and to be there to capture these special moments, so that you have them forever.
