Can you believe it??

Look at this beautiful woman! Can you believe she is a grandmother? This is the mother of the groom from our second wedding. She decided she wanted some great portraits of herself so she booked a session. Then we booked her other son's family for a session. I think we have the entire family covered now! They are great people and it is a blessing to get to know them all!

A dapper young lad....

I seriously love the hat on this little guy. I actually have a hat like this for my son but I have never taken his portrait in it. This mom has great style and I love the Christmas outfit. He is adorable! He wanted to go go go and was a lot of fun!

Very Special Maternity...

Last week I had the opportunity to capture the wonderful gift of pregnancy. It is not my story to share but this baby is a miracle and I was so blessed to be able to capture this sweet boy before he joins us. He is expected right before Christmas, what a great holiday this will be! Do you see the 3 cute brothers? There will be another boy soon. How great is that? Not many people can say they have 4 little men!

Sweet Siblings

We tried out our new spot again last week. This session was with a brother, sister AND a mom after I talked her into joining in on the fun. They were more interested in playing in the creek (what child wouldn't), but we were able to get some great portraits. The leaves were the perfect color, there was a slight breeze, Fall is alive and well. And of course, we brought out the santa hats... :) Everyone loves those!

Anniversary Session

I know all my blog stalkers have seen this beautiful woman and her adorable dog.... well, now we add the husband! The lovely couple scheduled an autumn session as an anniversary gift. It was a beautiful day and this session was in the couples backyard. Enjoy!

Christmas Cards!!

Check out the beautiful young ladies posing for Christmas portraits! Don't they look like angels? They really are sweethearts. After we did a quick Christmas session, the girls changed into play clothes and had the best time in the park playing in the autumn leaves. I wish I would have caught it in print but I was busy with another family that I will share in the coming days.

I am so excited that Christmas is near. We are debating putting our Christmas tree up this weekend. I know we are strange but I love this time of year. Give me a call if you are interested in making a card with a previous session portrait or if you want to schedule a Christmas Session. There are many more cards to choose from!

He is growing!

We had the opportunity to photograph this family when the son was 6 months old. Now he is just over a year and getting so big. The entire time I was behind the camera I was amazed at how the baby was leaving and a little boy was in its place. The mom loves photography as much as we do so she was up to anything. This was a fun session with lots of laughing and the photographer singing "la la la la la ELMO's World". We will do anything to get a smile.

This little guy is two weeks younger than my son and almost has the same name. He is such a cutie. When he gets excited he starts flapping his arms almost like a bird. I just love pure excitement! Check out the red hair coming through! Watch out girls in a few years!

Extended Family

Two weeks ago I had an extended family session. The grandparents were celebrating an anniversary and the lovely daughter thought a nice portrait was the perfect gift. I agreed. It took a little while for everyone to warm up (it was windy and everyone just felt weird at first) but we powered through! I usually have to get the kiddos to smile but this day I heard myself say "Smile, Grandpa" :).

They are a lovely family and you can see from the pictures that they love each other. And everyone is beautiful so it makes it easy! The grandmother has a high school reunion coming up and wanted a good picture from this decade (her words) because the other alumni are using old pictures and trying to pass off they haven't aged. That cracks me up. I hope I look 1/2 as beautiful as she does when my reunion comes by.
