Newborn Opal

First session of 2012….meet Opal! Just a fresh 2 weeks old and precious as she could be. She is welcomed by her big sister, Olive. I photographed Olive when she was a newborn 18 months ago. Sweet little sisters I hope to see again in the future. Thanks Ryan family, for having me back to photograph your family <3 Here’s a preview of the images we got yesterday.

 

 

 

The Niemann Family

Met up with the Niemann Family yesterday for the final fall family session I have scheduled this year. It was an unheard of 62 degrees outside. We got lucky with the weather! This is a family of all boys. Rowdy and rambunctious and right up my alley.  How fun it must be to grow up with all these brothers to play with! I enjoyed spending a bit of time getting to know them! Thanks Niemann Family!

 

Brynn & Grant

Another one of my favorite families here! There’s always a special fondness I have for my regular clients who’ve been with me since the start of their family. I love seeing them grow and change from photoshoot to photoshoot. It’s a neat feeling to be a part of their lives through photography. I also enjoy meeting their extended family on occasion and getting to know them too

Six months ago, the Hornbuckles welcomed baby Grant into their family. I was invited to photograph him again to mark this milestone of 6 months! Look at him sitting now! And he is such a happy and smiley guy! This was the age I first met his sister who is now a beautiful 3-yr-old preschooler!

The Tolley Family 2011

Love, Love, Love the Tolleys!

They came for this year’s family pictures last evening & brought the dog. Jos just turned 1 year! She is seriously the sweetest and best baby ever born. Goes without saying how cute she is but her temperament is so good-natured and easy-going. Sorta like her Ma

Winans Family 2011

Good to see the Winans family again! They skipped family pictures last year so it’s been two years since I saw them last. Wow, I’m amazed at how grown the kids were! Always a pleasure to photograph this family. I love their coordinated outfit choices. Nicely done!!! A preview of their family’s session ~

Bella – take two

We got lucky with the weather this time for Bella’s 4 year pictures. We got rained-out last week just as we were getting started. Guess that’s the way it goes sometimes with Mother Nature. Indian Summer day with a real pretty little girl ~

Zak & Anna

I’m glad to have these brother/sister duos lately! This is my second session in the senior year series with Anna K. and she brought the best prop ever…..her bro! I think it’s awesome when I’m able to catch some fun in-between the more posed. These are some of my favorites!

Rincker family

My first time photographing Chase and his Mommy & Daddy. What a sweet family! Another gorgeous “on-location” spot too. Chase is getting ready to celebrate his first birthday soon. He’s getting quite good at the walking thing. I loved the way he would put his arms out to balance himself.  And another sunset shot. Always love those!!!

Aidan (19mo)

A session with Aidan at 19 months old! I saw him last time for his 1 year pictures. He’s grown since then! He’s all over the place these days and couldn’t be slowed-down for pictures. Ha ha. His Mommy was sure we were not going to be able to get anything at all because he doesn’t stop long enough! No worries about that   Aidan has the best big brother, Logan. I was impressed with how awesome Logan is with his little bro. You can tell Aidan thinks he’s the coolest thing ever.

Bella (4)

The very beautiful, Bella at 4 years old. I’ve photographed her since she was a newborn and every year since.  Always a pleasure to catch up with her Mom and Grandma and to see how Bella has grown. This year she’s a big preschooler!  We had 15 minutes before we got rained-out. I’ll be meeting up with them again soon. In the meantime, a few pictures for her Mama to see…
