the h&b family

This family was so sweet. I was feeling under-the-weather the day I went to see them, and the weather was a bit chilly, but I still really enjoyed myself which always makes one feel a little better. right? And I think anyone would enjoy themselves with this family.

We started in their beautiful house. I had never done a family shoot inside. So, the first half was a bit challenging for me. But even though it was challenging, I had fun and look forward to more challenges. They were so patient and such a cute family. Very warm and welcoming. It was fun to watch them interact. I could tell they have so much love for each other.







Did I say chilly? Frigid is the word I was thinking the day we got together. But in retrospect it was just really, really cold and windy. Even so, they were great.








Can you tell it was cold? They couldn't help snuggling close to keep warm.

Thanks, guys, for letting me come hang out and get to know you.

the j&e family

i felt so bad after this family's first session. nothing seemed to happen the way we had wanted it to. so, we tried again.




can you see their brother in this photo?


and can you tell that he likes to be a bit mischievous?



as always, i have more photos to add to this. if i can get around to it.

We took these photos for the announcement for his baptism back in august. But looking at the photos right now in December makes my feet cold.



it was a spontaneous decision, and for some reason he didn't have shoes at the time, but he was a good sport and i love how he smiles.
i wanted to take these photos on train tracks for symbolic reasons, so we went with it, sans shoes and all... and i was quite happy with how they turned out.

the s&a family

peaceful

this little boy is the son of my daughter's coach this past fall. he was always so quiet and mellow. he had been laying in his stroller, quiet as can be, and was on the verge of falling asleep when i noticed just how peaceful he looked.

the SKSK kids

this family is just plain amazing. we have known them for a few years now. they are all so sweet and mellow. and so easy to be around.
there are so many cute photos of these 4. i have to start with just two of each of them.
isn't she gorgeous? stunning. and they say middle school is the awkward years. but not for her. and yes, she is only in middle school.

the second photo of him cracks me up. he makes me laugh.

she is so sweet and soft-spoken. seriously. she can't compete with my kids when she is at our house. it is so refreshing.

and this darling girl is one of my daughter's favorite people. ever.

and one more set of the oldest. i can't help it. i want to post all of her photos.
she is beautiful. just like her mom.
