Such a fun shoot with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and her family! So fun! I adore the beautiful women of her family, and their men are pretty sweet too! And could the grand-kids get any cuter? Seriously!? Loved this family shoot!

Class of 2011 - Bring It On

I didn't know this senior until our shoot. I was so happy with the way things went! He was so fun. It was seriously a blast to shoot him. He was a perfect little model, and his mom was hilarious. I loved seeing them interact. They were such good friends. We all laughed the entire time.

Enjoy this rather extensive sneak peek of Mr. Cool-Athlete-Student Council-Babe! :o)






























It was his idea to drape his track shoes there, which led us to spread out the athletic equipment. So cool. I love when my clients have amazing ideas and care about their shoot! I instantly loved the idea, and I think it turned out great!

Back from the land of the tired and crazy...

I honestly can't believe how long it's been since I've posted on this blog. I'm embarrassed, but I'm completely justified, so whaddya do? :o)

Here is a family picture I took for the holidays. My girlfriend's youngest was d.o.n.e. with this photo shoot. There are a lot of other great pictures, but this one might be my favorite. I'll post more later. How can you not LOVE their outfits, the location, their cuteness...

More of my new little one...

I have had a hard time getting enough time and energy to shoot, edit, and post this new little thing. Here are a few more!

My little burrito. This little blanket was sent to me by a mission companion. I'm in love with the blankets she sends (I have six now because she sends me two every time I have a baby!), and I'm especially in love with this one! I think it is gorgeous. And it's soooo soft! Yum. The edging around it makes me want to learn how to crochet. As soon as my mom gets home from Nepal, I'm going to have her teach me this art.




Little nakey. Not a single accident. What an angel!




My personal favorite of the shoot. :o) Big bows on little heads make me happy. Still burrito-wrapped too. Bright-eyed and beautiful! LOVE THIS LITTLE THING!!!!

Me and Mine

"Princesses. Hah. More like wild animals."
(quote from Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses - my girls obsess over this movie, and it's my favorite of the Barbie movies we have, which is a lot)

My sister-in-law, Auburn, came over this evening to take pictures of me with my three beautiful daughters. It was fun. I guess a young family just has to realize that family pictures from here on out are going to be challenging. At best. :o) Some families pull it off. Not mine. Ha ha. We had fun though.

Thank you Auburn for being willing to take these for me. I know you're only 31 1/2 weeks pregnant and really wanting to be on the floor photographing a crazy bunch of females...so thanks. You're the best! I know my man will love them!

Auburn got to have some fun with my studio. It's too hot to shoot outside these days, so we set up the studio. Studio shooting is actually really fun for me. I love shooting outside too, but not when it's 116 degrees outside.

Here is a look at the action.




You have no idea what we went through to get Alice to sit and smile...




The next picture is actually a miracle. No face-swapping was done on any of these!




When you see the next one, you might have a small clue of what we went through with Miss A. Even Claire was wondering what the heck was going on. Do you love Claire's eyes? Ha ha. I do.








I really love kissing my babies. Perhaps too much...






And after the wild animals went to bed, I took a few of Lanie. The studio is still up, so we might get lucky and have more pictures tomorrow! I've been a slacker on pictures of my own newborn.



This dress was sent to us by my sister, Deb. We LOVE it!



Miss Lanie is 3 weeks old now and we are loving every ounce of her! She is a great sleeper (thank goodness!) and puts up with all kinds of "love" from her sisters. Claire is soft and gentle and Alice is, well, Alice is soft and gentle sometimes. She means well. :o)
