The Karasinskis :: Family Session

Meet the Karasinskis. This family holds such a special place in my heart! Yesterday was 

my last day as the boys nanny after two and a half years of all sorts of adventures :). 

Cole and Carter are 5 year old twins and Chase is 2 1/2. I started when Chase was just an 

itty-bitty baby and the twins had just turned three. Needless to say, they kept me very busy!

They were the most adorable ring bearers in our wedding and donned some 

pretty awesome Converse tennies with their tuxes.

God's timing is perfect because Cole and Carter are starting Kindergarten (today!)

just as Chris and I are possibly about to start a new chapter in our lives

(more on that later... no it's not a baby :). Chase is going to be taken care of by a sweet 

woman and he'll get to play with one of his best friends almost every day. 

Wow I'm going to miss them!

Anyways, as Aimee and Jason's going away/thank you gift I wanted to do a 

family photo session for them. After the thousands of photos I've taken of the boys over

the years, I haven't actually done a session with the whole family so we headed over to the

Grand Haven beach for some fun in the evening sun.

{I think this next series of photos really define each of the boys}

This is Cole... he's tender-hearted, artistic, and pays great attention to detail. He's sensitive 

(in a good way :) and appreciates the comforts of home. He loves to collect things 

and carries his favorite toy of the moment everywhere. He's sweet, a little bit shy at first, 

and has an imagination that can take him anywhere.

This is Carter... he's spunky, mischievous, and the best sharer you'll ever meet. He can 

figure anything out and is a little too smart for his own good :). He's guilty

of breaking two windows in my first two months working there (yep... 

it's true... I was mortified :) and loves being outside. He's generous, compassionate, 

and loves to make other people laugh.

And this is Chase... my sweet baby Chase. He is always happy, loves to be outside, 

and has a uncontrollably contagious smile. He has an obsession with cars, 

trucks, and buses and can literally hear them a mile away. He really wants to be like

his big brothers and has sweet blue eyes that get me every time. He's so smart and is a big helper

(every morning when I get there, he runs to give me a hug, then runs to the dining room table 

to pull out the chair I always put my bag on, then runs to get my slippers for me :). 

He has the best tickle laugh and melts my heart every time he calls me "TT!"

And Aimee & Jason... trusting, flexible, and kind-hearted. They're wonderful 

parents and have truly become great friends.

{love them}

Thank you Aimee & Jason...not only for the awesome session, but

for letting me love on your boys every day for the last two and a half years.

It's been nothing short of perfect.
