Baby Girl {Morris}

What a great day I had today! I was able to see my good friend and take pictures of her sweet little girl Emma. Emma was so adorable all wrapped up and sleeping when I arrived. She soon showed me who was in charge. After a few accidents and a lot of wipes later. Emma's Dad swooped in and put her right to sleep. We were able to get several great shots of the sweet baby girl. I am a big fan of her in her baby cocoon and the one with her big sisters. Loved being able to take her pictures and spend the day with a great friend.

 

My Valentines

Here are my little Valentines!! I have been planning this photoshoot in my head for the past month or so. I gathered everything I needed and was just waiting on a day to be warm enough. I took my kids pictures last February and they were plane miserable the entire time. Well today it got above 60 so I didn't want to miss out on our chance to get these done. I had a plan for what I wanted, but of course the kids run the show, so we ended up with something entirely different than was planned, but I think they are so cute regardless. Enjoy!!!

Shanks Family

So this photoshoot seemed to have a gray cloud over it from the start. We had to cancel our original date because the kids got sick. Then the only day we were able to reshoot was on a nasty day: later in the evening and we had to fight with the last bit of good light. The weather was cold, wet, and windy,and raining. Which is pretty difficult went you are planning an outdoor shoot. :) But we pushed through and I think we ended up with some great shots. It was hard to pick favorites, mostly because there are so many people, and second, because the kids all gave me some great faces. I tried to pick a variety of my favorites. I loved all the faces they pulled, It was a blast editing through them all. So her it is. The Shanks family! What an amazing family! Hope you enjoy.

 

 

 

 

Fall Mini Shoots Part II- Crofts Family

One of the thing I love most about taking pictures is I get to connect with old friends and people I used to know. I knew Rebecca from my church youth program and her older sister was my age. Of course we have all grown up since then and know she is married and has an adorable little boy with the most expressive blue eyes! It was a breeze to shoot their pictures, baby C made things so easy. I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites from the day. Thanks so much for letting me take your family pictures.

 

Fall Mini Shoots Part 1- Petersen Girls

Do these littles look familiar? Well that's because they are! S & B have both been featured on my blog a time or two. This shoot was a long time coming, and at first it seemed as if the girls weren't into it, but they hung in there and gave me some terrific photo opportunities. And Check out their momma! That is one of my Bestest best best friend ever; doesn't she look so great in the picture with baby S?!
