So sweet Miss Ildi is a dear friend from Full Circle Farm, and she cooked up the idea to give her parents a family photoshoot as a christmas gift…and, after maaaaany reschedules, our universes aligned and we finally got together this past Sunday, and had a marvelous afternoon adventure. Here are the results!

We hung out at her parents’ lovely home:

to get things started (and because they had amaaaaazing bookshelves), I made them pick their favorite books (or, at least, their favorite books for the day ;-):

Headed out to explore the local treasure shop:

Stopped in for a cool drink (I had iced tea!) at the local watering hole (because it had awesome window light ;-):
