Meet the Ludwigs.
3 girls, 1 boy, and a whole lot of chaos. The best kind of chaos imaginable.
It’s a flurry of dance moves and hula hoops and laughter and whining and crying and singing.
It’s a beautiful mess.
I love every single one of these photos because they capture my friend’s lives right now : messy, but good.
And really, it’s just impossible to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time.
But you know what, I like it that way.
In fact, I never make any promises any more that I can get everyone to look at the camera at the same time. Not only does it never work, but I would much rather run around and play together and get a little messy.
That’s how these pictures happened : we made some time to play.
I am so thankful we did.
Dave + Victory, I love seeing you both raise these kids in your way. You are so gentle and firm and I respect you both so much.
One day : Aaron and I want to be parents like you.

Dear Em,
I love your portraits, and really enjoy the spirit with which you take them! I’ve been secretly enjoying your blog for a while, and couldn’t resist commenting on these. I’m pretty new in the wedding/lifestyle photography business, and have really loved reading/seeing your journey! Keep doing what you do.
Sincerely,
