A Precious Family

Last Saturday, I had the very special privilege of spending time with this family. The first 10 minutes, I quickly realized what a wonderful family they were- especially because they had such a great sense of humor.

Their dog was just one of the group... I love this shot because of the focus on him, and the family in the background.

One of the great formal shots...

One of my favorite shots of the day. Even the dog is perfect... I couldn't have asked for more!!
I could tell that this mom had a very special connection with her daughter. This picture tells a thousand words.

Another one! Isn't she gorgeous?

From behind...
From the front...

One of my other favorites..

Mom and daughter.
Dad and son.
Aren't they a handsome couple?

So beautiful.

Thank you M family. It was great to spend time with you!!

What a cutie

I took a brief hiatus to do some work for Goodwill industries... but now I'm back- and was so lucky to take this little angel. She was perfect the entire session, and it is clear that she is loved...



Her eyes are worth a million...

Don't you think?

A brief break for a snack...

Okay- she is about the cutest thing I've ever seen!

I love this shot, because she was just so curious. I really wonder what she was thinking with me in her house, taking pictures of her?

I just love this baby stage- you just want to appreciate every piece of them.

One of my favorite shots of the day. She was a perfect model and seemed to know just what to do!

Of course, I save the best end for last!

Sweet baby boy

This little man may possibly be the happiest baby I have ever seen. He smiled in his sleep almost through the entire photo shoot- even though it was practically 130 degrees outside! Maybe he is destined for hot weather??

We started out with the photo shoot on a zebra rug which was so cool! This made for a very fun background and he was so content to sleep on it... We then moved on to other poses in the house and finally outside.

His mom and dad were so proud and happy to have him join them, I can tell they will be great parents!!

His famous smile in the unbearable heat! What a cutie.

I was amazed at how alert he was for a two week old!!! Yikes.

Those eyes are amazing.

I just love the vintage look of this photo.

What a little funny guy!? I wonder what he was thinking here. Probably- about his next snack?!

A beautiful picture. I just love how calm and peaceful it is. They are so precious.

What a cool background.

I also just love this shot- very antique looking.

His dad says he has a picture of himself on a sheep rug when he was a baby? I guess this will be a tradition!!

This is my favorite shot of the day. The rug lines, the basket and baby were perfect.

A close up of the cutie.

Another favorite- and I can't believe he was just sleeping there. Amid the jungle!!

THANKS A!!! It was a great afternoon!!

A beautiful family

I was so excited to take pictures of this family when I saw them walking across the grass. They are all so beautiful and such a loving family! We ran around the park and tried to find bats, bat caves, secret paths (to keep the interest going :) ) It was a very fun photo shoot!!! SJ- Thank you for letting me be a part of this special morning!!

This little guy was very shy to take pictures at the beginning. We were running around, climbing things... he definitely kept me on my toes!

A quick shot when he was trying to hide from me!!

Their beautiful baby boy!

This was when he was starting to warm up.... hey, photographers aren't that bad.

She is simply gorgeous.

What a wonderful family- they were very patient with me even when I asked them to start playing on the itchy grass!!

At the end, we were all a little tired and rested on the wild grass...

Magical Eyes

We played with this little cutie at the park today, even though it was 100 degrees outside! His eyes are so blue, I mentioned to his mom that he should start a modeling career :) Watch out girls... he should be on the market in 15 years!

The Happiest Baby on the Block

This little guy, only around two weeks old, was smiling throughout our little photo session. He must have been having some really great dreams!! He slept through most of the session, which was perfect so that we could move him anywhere we wanted. But, at the end he started waking up, and giving us some great shots.

What a cutie.

They have the best collections of blankets I have ever seen. Name a color, they've got it! We had fun switching him around on different colors...

This shot is my favorite. He is just so comfy and relaxed.

Here is the little smile! Isn't it hilarious?!

A 4 year old birthday party

I had so much fun at this 4 year old birthday party. Here are some of my favorites: What angelic faces!!

Relaxing before the party started.

Just having a ball.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
