After connecting with Amy, the sweet mom of these adorable kids,

and learning she had 4 children 8 and under, I wanted to do something fun that I could incoperate

her 4 young children, boys and girls, of various ages into a shoot

that they would actually have fun participating in.

Summer was just approaching and I figured a lemonade stand was just the perfect set up for her cutie-pies.

I had so much fun constructing it, and even more fun watching her kids use it!

The adorable white vintage chairs were borrowed from

Moongarden Antiques (click to go to their site)

in Wakefield, Rhode Island.

If you are a RI local, check out Lily’s store- its filled with vintage-y goodness!

I heart sun flare, so I couldn’t resist posting this posed family pic of the sweet Murphy’s in their gorgeous backyard

Next we headed over to the Warwick Country Club,

but found a lovely little spot along the way for pics of mom and dad,

right off the side of the road!

…Perfection!

Once at the Country Club,

the sun was fading fast, but we managed to get

some magical light, and have a little fun too!

You know, I had to refrain from posting more?

I just loved their photos, and I could have posted them all!

Thanks again Murphy’s!

It was great meeting you and capturing the beauty of your family!

Well, that’s it for now!

I hope you are enjoying your summer as much as I am!

I am truly grateful.
