MINI-SESSION #2: Such a Lovely Family!

Last Saturday I had a super quick session with the Crothers Family (the twins have been featured here on the blog a few times now)! They wanted to get a few family photos from Christmas cards and we managed to find a day where the weather wasn't too terribly cold to get outside. It's getting so cold here to do anything outside so we lucked out finding a day that worked! This family is so adorable and the boys' have the best personalities!

I hope you love these photos! I think we managed to get some really great shots in such a short amount of time :)

TEENY TINY......

I had the opportunity to take some photos of Baby L last weekend and it was a great experience! His parents are good friends of ours and asked me awhile back to take some photos for them once he arrived. He joined the world on October 20th and he was 11 days old when we took these photos. I must say that newborns are extremely tough to photograph! I don't have much newborn experience so I was excited to try it out and see what I could come up with! That said, we were able to get some great shots but Baby L was not in picture taking mood that day. He slept a tiny bit at first and then was not a happy camper when he was moved, touched or uncovered. We even tried keeping the house super warm and using a heating pad but he was not liking what I wanted to do :) Of course it was understandable seeing as that we stripped him down to his "birthday suit" and interrupted his day. I don't know that I would have been happy either....haha! W family, thank you for letting me practice and photograph your bundle of joy. He is such a blessing and I can't wait to see him grow!

Here are a few of my faves...

Proud Daddy :)




His big sister just adores him...

What a beautiful mommy Baby L has!

MINI-SESSION #1: A Sweet Couple & A Gorgeous Dog :)

I had my first Holiday Mini-Session last weekend and it was an absolutely GORGEOUS day for a photoshoot! I know Meghan from work and she approached me about Holiday Photos awhile back for herself, her boyfriend, and her adorable dog. I was thrilled to be able to do these photos for her! She is the sweetest person and it was so fun meeting outside of work for a quick session. Meghan, I hope you all love your photos and they look great for your Christmas cards :)

Aren't they just so cute?!

FAMILY PORTRAITS: Navarro Family

This past Sunday I took a few family photos for our good friends, the Navarro family. They really wanted an updated photo of their family, especially since they are going to be welcoming a new bundle of joy in the Spring :) The Navarro family is a fellow Navy family that we met almost a year ago and they have become some of our closest friends! In fact, Krystine babysits Madison and Logan the days that I am working and it works out wonderfully for all of us...I wouldn't want them with anyone else :) I know this was a quick fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants shoot, but I hope you love these photos of your beautiful family! Love you guys!!!









This one is my favorite! I just love how natural it is!

VAUGHAN FAMILY......

This family is a big one! We had a total of 10 together for this shoot, including 4 kiddos and I even photographed three dogs :) It was a rainy and overcast day but the rain held off for us in time to get some photos taken....thank you rain! They have a beautifully landscaped backyard so I decided that would be a great place to shoot some of the family and then we headed over to McDowell Creek to get a few more by the falls. I had a great time meeting all of you and I really hope you enjoy your photos. I set up a special gallery for the rest because I couldn't post all 30 here :) But, here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Sonya and family, I hope you are pleased with your photos and I would love to take more this summer with the bikes if I am able to get out that way! P.S. - I emailed the link to the gallery to Jeopardy :)































And I had to sneak one in of this car because I loved it :)
