Wonderful Grandkids....

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the afternoon with these kids again this year. I met this family last year and we did the big group pictures. This year, the kids got to have all the attention! :)

It was a really fun time at the park with these guys. It was neat for me to see how much they have grown in a year. It was a very popular spot for pictures on this particular afternoon, but we still had plenty of choices for places to take pictures.

I hope you like these, as always there are plenty more I am keeping as a surprise!

Enjoy...

Sisters...

This little one was barely sitting up on her own last year, and now she is a full of energy toddler! It was so much fun chasing her around and capturing her smile...

We had to grab a picture of the grandparents with the grandkids!

It was such a fun afternoon with this family. I can't wait to let them see the rest of the pictures!

A family that is family to me...

I was honored to have this family ask me to take their pictures. I have known them now for almost 11 years. They have treated me like family and have become family to me. I don't recall a time when I had more fun during a photo session. All of this family mean so much to me. Thank you for welcoming me all these years ago....and continuing to do so to this day! :)

Here are some of my favorites. There are seriously too many to count on my camera and computer, but these stood out to me. I think we got every conceivable picture combination this group could do! Thanks for climbing all over the hay and being a great peanut gallery!

Enjoy!

The entire clan :)
4 generations of this family. That is pretty impressive in my book to get everyone together for this one.

The grandkids. Poor little man was in dire need of a nap, but he was such a trooper through the session. A few meltdowns, but that makes him even cuter :) I might be biased though!

Brothers...

The grown children are worthy of pictures too :)

The siblings...

I truly can not thank this family enough for asking me to hang out for the afternoon. It was such a joy chasing the kids around, wearing different headbands, laughing, laughing and more laughing! I hope you enjoy these. I am keeping plenty of surprises when you get your disks :)

A great time with this family...

I had another great session this past weekend! I have known this family for close to 6 years and have been taking their family pictures for at least 3 years now! :) It has been so much fun over the years seeing the kids grow. We were slightly sidelined for this session since it was COLD, windy and rainy. That changed the plan from a park to their home. It turned out great for all of us! The kids got to play, feel comfortable and take a cookie break when needed :)

I hope you guys like these. Once again, this is just a small portion of what we captured....

It has taken me time, but I am almost 100% with telling these two guys apart. Their personalities have changed so much over the past year. I just love how they shine through in these two pictures...

They were so happy to take a picture together! I loved it :)

Protective big sister...

She has an infectious smile...how can you not be happy when she is around!

The whole family, Daisy the dog even wanted to join in!

Can't forget about mom and dad...

A sweet daddy/daughter moment

I love this one of my friend with her kids.

I truly hope you guys enjoy this little sneak peek! I had such a great morning with you all. It was a pleasure as always :)

A wonderful family...

I had the pleasure this past weekend to meet this wonderful family. It was a perfect morning to be outside taking pictures. I was amazed at how many other people had the same idea this same morning. Luckily, the park was large and we could get all the shots we wanted! Once again, this is just a small selection of some of my favorite shots. There are quite a few more, but I like my surprises!

The "T" family, I do hope you like these. It was such a pleasure meeting you this past weekend. Enjoy! :)

I just love getting a mother and daughter in a picture together....

same with a father and son!

These two were not quite sure what to make of me at first. I can be a little goofy to get a smile out of people. Once they figured out I was okay goofy, we were good to go! :)

I hope you enjoy this little preview!

A sweet way to spend a morning...

I don't know if there is a better way to spend the morning with a newborn and her big brother. This was such a nice session. It was full of surprises, energy, and beautiful images. It was one of those sessions where I just could not stop taking pictures. This is just a SMALL selection of what I captured this morning. K and family/friends, I hope you like these....there are plenty more where these came from!

Big brother and little sister. He was so proud to be taking pictures with her and was SO good with her :)
This particular image will hold such a lasting memory. I have it of my kids and I look at the picture and then the size they are now, and am just amazed. Something simple is so powerful!

Couldn't forget about Big Brother! I tried to make him feel special during the morning as well. Such a sweet 5 year old :)

Precious baby girl....looks like a baby doll! She was only 1 week old and such a sweet girl. She of course did what all newborns do....slept when we wanted her awake and was awake when we wanted her sleeping....but no matter what she was adorable.

The love between these two is already so clear...

The new family of 4

The joy of doing sessions at home is the ease to have outfit changes :)

Little sister with the bear Big brother got her as a present...

I would say this is the perfect Christmas present!

I hope you guys like them. There are quite a few more, but I have to keep some surprises :) I will let you know when they are done, enjoy!

Two precious girls...and the rest of their family...

Once again, I was able to spend some precious time with this family. I have known this "little" girl since she was about 6 months old. She and my daughter grew up together in playgroup. It is always one of my favorite sessions during the holidays. I just love getting together with this lovely group. Even though....I love getting together with all my clients :) That is just how much I love capturing families, especially this time of year!

We had a nice relaxing morning at Gran's house. I hope we captured all the images you guys wanted. Here is just a little preview, as always there are quite a few more I am keeping for a surprise :)

Aren't these two just the more adorable girls! They are so sweet.

I love this one of C. She was dancing around the flowers like a fairy. The progression of pictures is so adorable. She was really comfortable in front of the camera this particular morning, that is for sure!

My friend's beautiful parents. I sometimes think it is harder for adults to be comfortable in front of the camera than kids! It was so nice to get this picture of them both smiling and laughing...probably at something the girls were doing.

Gran and her girls....

Little Miss L. She was an adventurous girl who loved to play in the water this morning. Nothing like adventure while in your Christmas clothes!

Such a sweet family...

After everything was done, my camera put away, and candy in the girls hands....they hopped on the small organ. They were both playing and practicing. It was just so sweet. They look like they are concentrating so hard here. Music is an important part of this families lives, and I just love what this picture shows.

I hope you guys like the images as much as I do. I loved spending the morning with you. There are plenty more images where these came from....I just like surprises! Enjoy :)
