Stuart Family / War College / Newport RI

I love this family!  I had such a great time with them.  They are hilarious, fun, and great sports!  I really loved watching and listening to the Stuart family interact.  All of my kids are little right now but after hanging out with for the morning, I’m excited to see what their relationships will be like after they’ve all grown up and left home.  I loved listening to the good natured teasing and jests that were tossed around as each couple took their turn in front of the camera. Being in front of a camera can be uncomfortable but add in some catcalls from the family peanut gallery and it just gets even better…lol.

This is my first photoshoot at the War College in Newport and I have to say I like the setting more than I thought I would.  The bridge is a really cool blue color and the war college itself really does have a Downton Abbey feel to it. (Thanks Patrick for the comparison…it didn’t even occur to me until you said it was time for our Downton Abbey photos and now I think I will think of that every time I see the war college.)  I love that we were able to take photos of their whole family together (because how often does that really happen after kids grow up and leave home) in a place that is both beautiful and meaningful for their family.  

Stuart family, thanks for letting me hang out with your fantastic family for a little while.  You guys are awesome.
