I just love when a photo shoot is also a good reason to catch up with one of my best friends! Words cannot express how much I ADORE this family. And we all met because of Mizzou. I was working in the Engineering Dean’s office when I met Josh. Josh then mentioned that his girlfriend, Ann, was looking for a new roommate and the rest is history! Since then, we’ve each been in each other’s weddings and we’ve had 3 kids between us. And one of the perks of my family moving back to Missouri last year is that it makes it a little bit easier to see each other. Meet one of my favorite families on the planet.
Their little boy Mark is a charming little casanova. He even planted a big slobbery kiss on me before we parted ways 🙂
And like my kids, he has a lot of energy. He is very thoughtful, curious, a little bit daring and a LOT of fun. I felt like we were consistently moving along this photo shoot, but sometimes those are the best kind. You capture a lot of movements on the fly.
This kid is daddy’s little buddy. Mark is such a joy, and Josh is such a great dad!
Here’s where Mark stopped for a bit to do some serious posing. He had us in tears. And the more we laughed, the more he hammed it up for the camera.
Mark seemed very interested in seeing where his mommy and daddy went to school, so we tried to show him as many places as we could.
The most notable piece of architecture on the Mizzou Campus is of course, the columns. Mark loved that his daddy actually let him climb up onto the columns. He thought he was up SO high.
Mark and his mommy have a good time too 🙂
These two are the cutest darned couple. I just love them both!
My friend has the most gorgeous eyes!
I. Love. This. Family.
I hope Mark got extra Shakespeare’s pizza and Sprite after we parted ways! He earned it. Can’t wait to hang out again soon!!
XOXO,
Shauna
