Family

One of the great things about being from a big family is that you get to take pictures of them all around the holidays. I really love it. And I'm lucky because they are all very considerate of my schedule and aren't annoying about getting their pictures back within 20 minutes. :) Plus, it's always fun to take pictures of the people you love.

Nic, this one's for you.... kissing. (Plus, I love the way their cute baby is peering over Daddy's shoulder.)

It was so cute to watch Mommy and Daddy's smiles to go from fake to real the MOMENT their baby started laughing.

I absolutely LOVE this picture! I don't know if I love it more in color or black and white. Isn't she beautiful?

I love getting pictures of babies (especially girls) with their fathers. Daddy's miss out on so much while they're working and that sucks for them. Plus, I know how much is melts me to watch my husband with my girls.

In a Nutshell

This was the photoshoot. But I got some DARLING pictures. More to come.

The C Family

I did family pictures for this beautiful family last year. It's so fun to see how big the kids have gotten. They are such a fun family who made me work hard to get smiles from them. Totally worth it though. :)

They're the best in the world.

Back in the Saddle

Gotta say, it's good to be back out shooting again. Not that I don't TOTALLY adore taking pictures of my kids but it's nice to have a challenge and change of scenery. (Clearly that didn't come out right because my kids are definitely a challenge.) This hot blond number is one of my closest friends from high school. I ADORE her, and her entire family. In fact, she and her hubby (also a really close friend from HS) have been together since they were 15. I've known them all forever. (And boy, do I have stories I could tell about those two...)
Funny story, the first time my friend and I went to her boyfriend/husband's house his younger brother (in the entire family shot) shamelessly flirted with us both. He's... three (?) years younger than us. Now he's a big hot shot but EVERY time I look at him I see that little kid who asked if we were swimsuit models. (Can't remember which of us he asked but I remember we got a real kick out of it.) Good news: He's now an adult... a sweet one.
I LOVE this entire family. All three generations.

Candy!

And this one, just because she has the most killer eyes ever.

And he's just so stinking cute!
