Danish Mama and children

Here is one more post featuring Baby Hannah, big brother Jonah, and Danish Mama Kathy.

Big Brother Jonah joined in on the fun too!

Isn't he adorable?

I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this shoot! Natural photos of a natural family in a natural setting (the home) with natural light.  It was so wonderful.  I am not too much of a fan of anything gimmickey (overly done props, poses, backdrops, and editing) so Kathy really felt my style and I'm so glad she suggested we do this shoot in the home.  That's how day to day life is, and that's how the memories will be, so that's how the photos should be.  They were so wonderful to photograph, and hopefully next time we can get Dad (who was away) in on the action!

I'm so happy I can show you these now from last fall's McPhie Family shoot! Janny didn't want me to display these anywhere until she gave them as gifts for Christmas! I hope that whoever received them liked them lots! I sure would! 

p.s. I think photos make the best gifts ever because they're the most meaningful. 

Fierro Family

Meet the Fierro family.  They are our really good friends and neighbors.  We love them to absolute death!  Their little girl Bella was born the same week as Claire, and look how long her hair is!!! When Bella was a baby, we used to call her (and still call her) "The Wig".  Her brother Matias is the worlds biggest sweetheart and is in love with his toy cars.  Their parents Carina and John are seriously, no lie, some of the funniest people we know.  So you can imagine how much fun we had when I took their family photos!  Fierro Fam, Thanks so much for asking me to do your family's photos.  I am thankful to be a little teeny part in your family's history. LOVE you guys!!!!

I would be lying if I didn't say that this is probably one of my favorite photos I've ever taken.

McPhie Family

What a fun and good lookin group! These guys kept trying to fight back the laughter all through our shoot, to which I said "Let it out!".  I am so so so glad we got this shoot done before the blizzard hit! Although snowy shoots are fun and beautiful, I knew Janny wanted a fall backdrop and they turned out beautiful!

These two are beyond darling together!

Just because she begged and pleaded....

So I wasn't able to proof images this week with Ms. Carina and John because I was struck down with illness.  She texted me nearly every day to say "So...no more sneak peeks?"  Just because I love her so, and I can publicly give her a hard time online (which is cool cause she dishes it right back. You should see what a hard time she gives me on facebook).  Here you go Carina. Happy Thanksgiving!

More to come soon!

I usually don't blog on Saturday,

but this cuteness couldn't wait until Monday!  How darling are these two!?!?

More of the Fierro Family to come soon!

Beardall Family

I met Jen at the Envision workshop this past summer.  I was so excited when she asked me to do her family's photos.  It's always a little flattering (and slightly intimidating) when another photographer asks you do do their photos.  I am so glad Jen scheduled her session when she did because the weather was absolutely divine!  It was so great to meet the rest of her family.  Her kids Jensyn and Keaten were just an absolute blast to work with. I love photographing teens! They have such a great energy and spirit about them.  Thank you Beardall family for asking me to take your photos and act a fool while doing so!

 

Cheyenne the family dog had a blast watching from the sidelines.  Poor little guy is old, deaf and had an upset tummy that day, but based on the look on his face, he's as happy as can be!

Keaten was trying not to laugh here cause his dad kept saying "Model like David Beckham!" It was pretty funny.

I just couldn't get over how gorgeous Jensyn's eyes are!  Her mom told me that a boy at school said they were like "Blue Diamonds" and I'd have to agree with that statement!
