The Dyckman Family: Party of 4

   Meghan and I went to high school together, but recently became friends through bonding over our pregnancies and babies:  Her daughter, Brielle, and my daughter, Emerson, are approximately two weeks apart.  She and I have helped one another via late night texts regarding our young children.  I am truly blessed to call her my friend :)
   Her husband, TJ, is hilarious!  I have only been around him twice (taking pictures, of course), but just from those few hours I can tell he is an amazing father and husband.  I think he and Meghan share the same sense of humor, which is definitely important in a marriage!
   Meghan is an incredibly kind and supportive friend to me.  She is a phenomenal mother, possessing the very important quality of patience.  I am so proud of her!  As a working mom, I give her so much credit being a stay at home mom!  It takes so much energy, as many of you know.
   Finally, Brielle is one of the cutest kids around!  She is extremely photogenic and cooperative--even when I took her picture a year ago.  This almost 2-year-old will capture your heart immediately!
    ...and the best news of all--they are expecting another baby!  Meghan is due on November 10 (Emerson's birthday!), so Brielle will be a big sister before they know it!
   These pictures were captured at Hawkwoods Nature Center in Auburn Hills, a new location for me.  I'm happy Meghan suggested it because there are plenty of trails and scenic views.  I will definitely be shooting here again!  This was a combination of a family portrait session and a 2 year old birthday session.  I will be meeting with them in about a month (wow!), so stay tuned for some adorable baby Dyckman photos!
