My little niece always seems to change so much in between visits! During a recent family get-together in Sandusky, we managed to squeeze in a 9-month session (even though she’s just a little shy of nine months). My sister and her husband love the water, and it was a gorgeous summer morning on Lake Erie, so we finished up with some family portraits on Cedar Point Beach.

Lookout. We had so much fun that I can’t wait for their October wedding! Here are some highlights of this awesome couple and their adorable little guy…

My daughter agreed to babysit while I was getting shots of Chuck and Stephanie alone together, and my son was happy to have a play date with a new friend! We wrapped up our evening at the playground, and gave the kids a chance to let loose after their patience and cooperation during the photo session…
