The Smith family is just a joy. I first met them when Derek was just tiny and seeing these boys grow into little people with so much personality is so wonderful.

Derek is full of mischief and energy, he is hilarious

Hi Karen, Loving the depth of field in the two first shots. I'm looking at a new lens and am just curious which lens you used?

Kind Regards, Cindy

Great photography, definetly caught the devilment in Derek, Douglas will break a lot of hearts with those good looks, and the family picture is great, good picture of Jacki and of course Scott is a mischievous looking guy also with a great smile, not that I am prejudiced. signed a proud mom and gramma.

I agree with Donna...that is sooo Derek! Doug is a mini Scott. Great photography as always Karen. Seeing these shots makes me think it is time to get another session done...They are amazing...the last one I had was my pregnancy/baby session with Avery and she will be 2 in 3 weeks...how time flys! signed a dear friend.

Loved the pictures. The boys are so handsome. I remember Scott at this age and Douglas is a clone.....What a good looking guy! The family photo is great so nice to be outside and natural instead of a stuffy studio. Love to all 4 of you
