From the first contact with Rebecca, I could feel how much her family means to her! She took the time to tell me about her two beautiful children, Henry and Charlotte, her supportive parents, Vicki and Ben, plus her lovely brother, Andy! Not only tell me about her family but the actual dynamic they share together. So leading up to their extended family session at the Ostermeier Prairie Center in Springfield, Illinois I felt like I already knew a ton about the wonderful Stone Family. 

Rebecca had explained that one of her family’s favorite things to do with her kiddos was to read. Of course, the classic, “If I Ran The Zoo” by Dr. Suess is top of their list. As a mama, Rebecca said she can relate to the craziness when the animals run wild! What a great idea and a fun moment to capture for this close family. Henry and Charlotte (or “Lottie” as her mom lovingly calls her), were so sweet together it was unreal! We played games, had plenty of tickle fights, and they had smiles on their faces the whole time. Playing with grandma, grandpa, Uncle Andy, and mom was tough work. But, someone had to do it! Thanks to the Stone Family for spending their evening with me! 

Warm Regards, 
Lauren
