Life happens






Here is a family that should have been on here a long time again but again - swamped. This is Heather and her family. The girls were really shy at first, especially the youngest but we got some really cute pictures in the end.

Sisters

I had sooooo much fun this evening working with these two girls. They are too pretty for words. It took a little while to see personalities emerge but the more photos I took, the more the personalities came out. Want a senior session... book now! We went to three locations and ended up with so many pictures... but they were all just amazing! I cant even choose a favorite. Watch out Dad.... you have two very beautiful daughters! 






Two great families....




Serious thinker? Maybe? Might just be ignoring us...





Then there is Sassy Serena! She was full of poses that day... so many poses it took her mom about 5 trips to view the photos before we could go to print. 

Totally handsome.... this is just too cute Mr. Soren! 



One of my favorite families with a cute little girl. She did NOT want to have anything to do with photos that day. She would turn away and say NO! Its a stage and phase that I am all too familiar with. She gave me a run for my money but her parents were pleasantly surprised to have some great pictures to send home for Christmas. 

Random - just a lot of updates!

I need to catch up but adding more pictures all the time puts me further and further behind in updating my page! This is random favorites of mine, all together - each with a story and all so wonderful~! All the recaps are below each photo. 



Ethan did a wonderful job with posing with his beautiful mom for her maternity photos. He also let me in on the best Clint Eastwood impression I have ever seen. This is the sweetest photo of a mommy of soon to be two boys. 

Isnt she adorable? One of my favorite pictures and favorite poses. She was just over a year old and walking perfectly with her parents on the beach. This pink makes her just "pop"! Love it! 

Daddy's girl! The girls were not too into this photo shoot so it was all about sitting back and kapturing moments and that I did. You can tell she has him in the palm of her hand. It is the coolest thing in the world to watch a daddy and his daughter interact. Its a bond and relationship like no other. 

She was having fun. She ended up very wet in the end but we got some sweet pictures in the mean time. She was at an age where being still was not an option but we just went with the flow of what interested her ;) Hope the PCS went well and you are enjoying your new station.  



Oh Kinsley! We had fun playing around and between her and her brother, we got some really fun pictures. That long hair at such a young age, I would pay for that with my daughters! 

Hanah, the star of her show. She goes to school with my daughter and is the sweetest little girl! She needed no coaching on taking the best pictures, you can tell her life is in front of a camera. 

This actually ended up being THE Christmas card for the family. With four kids you always have something going on and this was just too funny and too typical of what they are ACTUALLY like. They did have a posed one later but we have the younger two fighting because one of them kicked the other, the oldest trying to place the hat back on the youngest to take the picture and then the posed one, ready for the picture, not matter what is going on with the people she is related to! 


Christopher is the only baby to ever love my cup so much, he just went to sleep! This is so precious and my favorite we took of him that session. 




Kyle, the heart breaker. There were so many good pictures taken, just him being a boy. He has such a real smile it just makes you want to smile looking at him. What a neat little boy with great parents.
