Brad, Chelsey & Gavin!

A couple weeks ago, I had so much fun taking Brad, Chelsey and Gavin's pics.  As you all know, I love taking photos and when they are family friends, it becomes even more special to share the time with them and capture some special moments in photos that they will have for a lifetime.    Gavin is such a sweetheart and melted my heart in minutes after I met him.   I love his beautiful eyes and he has such a great smile it was just so much fun.

Quick Sneak Peek!

 

Just one quick one from my session tonight.  This family was so much fun and they had four wonderful, energetic kids that had great smiles.  We had fun making silly faces and silly poses and got some great family pics in the process.  

Thanks for a great evening!

Fun Family Photos

Need to catch up....and .... I AM!  Woo Hoo!!!  Thank God I have such a great husband and friends.  For those who don't know, my husband started working four day weeks to help me in my business and I have hired some additional help as well.  So far, it is going great!  I have spent the last several days editing, finishing up a new website, working in the studio and looking toward the future.  It has been a great week!

But, I need to get my posts finished on my blog so here is the first of many to come in the next several days.  For those who don't know, in the past few weeks I have had a computer crash and my internet took a "nap".  But, everything is back up and running and most importantly I did NOT lose any pics in the process.  I am such an anal backup freak, I have copies all over the place.  Anyway, now that we are working properly again.....I WILL get caught up on my blogging too!   Thanks to everyone for your patience.

This family was so much fun to work with.  I cannot believe how many pics we took when they were here.   I love doing photos of Grandparents and their grandkids and they were great to work with.  Thanks for a fun shoot. 

Just a couple....

I absolutely am in love with this pic.  She is such a sweet little girl......

I had to add this last one.  She was such a smiley little girl.  I think I took 100 pics of her with a big smile on her face.  Then she gave me this face....I love it!  What a sweetheart. 

Such a wonderful family!!

Recently I had the great pleasure to take family photos for this wonderful family.  I have always wondered what it would be like growing up in a large family.  Although my husband has seven brothers and sisters and over the years they have truly become like my own brothers and sisters, I always kind of wondered what it would be like to grow up with all those siblings.  When I had the opportunity to work with this family, they let me take part in their family and capture their personalities for a bit and find out what it is like.  They were so loving and wonderful.  I was so honored to be a part of their time....one of their sons was home on leave from the military (he is stationed in Iraq  and hopefully he will be able to look at these soon) and another son lives in New York and was on vacation spending time with his whole family while his brother was home.   I know how difficult it is to get a small family organized and ready for photos, a larger family makes for a much more difficult time that all can get together and get their photos taken.  I cannot thank them enough for allowing me to capture some memories for all of them.  You were all awesome and I enjoyed it tremendously.

Six Generation.......and it all began....

 

 It all began with this beautiful lady.......Six generations - she is the beginning......

If you look at my post from a couple weeks ago, you would have seen this lovely lady in a six generation photo I took.  Here are a few more from that session........ We were having a little fun with the pink boa but, I loved this pic - she looks so happy.

I wanted to do something a little different......all five generations holding baby Owen....all have played a part in who he is......he is another "beginning".......

A few more of my favorites from the session.....

 

Owen and his beautiful mommy....I love this pic - it is so typical, and so sweet - mommy talking to her baby.

I had lots of fun with this family.  They are such wonderful people and it is such an amazing feeling to be a part of documenting such a wonderful thing...

Babies are always special and Owen was certainly no exception.  He is so sweet.  His mommy wanted some of him sleeping and he would have none of that.  He wanted to be awake and see what was going on but, awake or sleeping they are awesome. 

Thank you again for such a memorable opportunity.....

Beautiful Family Photos.....

Sorry for the late posting of this wonderful family.....Right after Christmas I had fun taking pics of this family.  Her son and son-in-law are in the military and would be leaving soon so they wanted a family photo before they leave.  I have been so busy posting that somehow this got missed in the postings but, they were just too awesome of a family not to share.  Thanks so much for having me take your pics....I enjoyed the morning with all of you......

Another big blog post!

Still trying to catch up a little.....so, I have included a few more sessions.  So many pics to choose from each of the sessions.  I love so many of them and it is always difficult to decide.  It has been a few weeks since these sessions and going through them again tonight brings back so many fun memories for me.  I have truly been blessed with some awesome families to work with.  Thank you all for allowing me to take your photos.  I cannot begin to express the joy it has given me....

As always, I love to hear what you think.  So, if you would like to leave a comment - just "click" on comments and another window will pop up!
