Family Fun!

This little fam is so stinking adorable!  From their outfits, to their goofing around, I felt like a part of the family!  And I'm loving all the colors! Gorgeous!

 

Catch Up!

So apparently not only have I neglected our family blog, but I seem to have not posted the last several photo shoots here either.  Oopsy!  I'll try to catch up!!  And what a better reason to start up blogging again then this lil fam on the perfect fall day.  Colors came out lovely and the camera was eating them up!! (P.S. Notice Jen's headshot!  She's an amazing painter and her name's starting to get out.  You can follow her here)

 

Another Sneak Peek!

Couldn't get enough of the lakes this week so we decided to take a stroll about Deer Creek.  What a pretty day and lots of pretty sunshine and people!  Love you all!!!

Family Sneak Peek

The reasons why I love photography are numerous.  I love to take pictures.  I love that I am always looking at my surroundings and wondering what could be made of them.  I love learning new things--sometimes by trial and error, sometimes through other people.  But the thing that I love the absolute most about photography is that it allows me to get to know new people and for a brief moment get a glimpse into who they are.  I can see their love for their spouse, their kids, sometimes their pets.  I feel privileged to be a part of that as we shoot pictures and then for the countless hours afterwards that I spill over their images through editing.  This sweet family was no different.  Thanks for letting me be a part of that and for your sweet generosity.  Some people are just good people.

Sneak Peek

I maybe didn't realize their was a football game last Friday.  And so I maybe didn't think that it'd take us an hour longer to get to our destination than normal.  So I might have had to send a thousand texts to this cute family, some showing off my ability to talk like a sailor, break a speed limit or two, and change the location for our photo shoot at the last possible minute.  Is this instilling confidence??  But needless to say, the pictures are coming along famously and I just thought I'd stop to post one of the many family pictures that we shot that chaotic night.  (Sidenote--I don't normally take 5+ pictures of the actual family so thanks guys for baring with me.  Apparently I wanted to document the family love again and again and again) :)

Sneak Peek in the Sunflowers

Just a little sneak peek before we head outta town.  More of our evening in the sunflowers to come.  I just had to post this little angel!

Late, But Worth The Wait!

So in the week since our photo shoot, I've had the flu, a computer crash (praise the Lord for external hard drives), two ralphing twinners, and a church fundraiser that is making me want to blow my brains out!  Whoa is me, right?  No! Just explaining my case!  I never take this long to post a sneak peek of a photo shoot!

Anywho, I lava these guys more than words can say.  Dev and I have been friends since 7th grade, danced to Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' in 9th grade-giving me the false hope of a chance with him, only to dash my hopes and dreams in 10th grade when he started dating one of my besties, making me feel cool going to his high school band's ska shows and going on to be one of my hubby's besties.  He's helped us through break-ups, life successes and triumphs, commiserating over kids flinging poo out of their cribs and what not, etc, etc, etc!

And then there's Molly, otherwise known as nutmeg. (No, I won't even take the time to explain the nickname.)  I couldn't have picked a better yin to Devin's yang!  I love her too much to say!  We all knew the instant we met her that she was the one for our D.  So glad she's forever a part of our life.  Love this little family to much to adequately cover it in writing!
Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
xoxoxo!

Baby Izzie!

I was so excited to take pictures of this sweet little girl!  Not only is she absolutely precious, but she's the baby of one of my besties!  I'm already having withdrawls from her.  I just need to hold her and listen to all her sweet little noises.  And check the hair!  She was born with a full do that each one of my babies would only dream about having.  I loved it, and I loved her and I love this entire family!

XOXOXO!

Sweet Baby Girl

So it's taken me longer to finish this photo shoot than I normally like, but a couple days ago I got the flu and have been out of commission.  I wish that on nobody--death seemed the only good option.

Anywho, the more I went through these pictures the more I fell in love with sweet little Tessa.  She was such an angel and looks, to me, just like her big brother did.  So fun!

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!  Here are some more highlights!...

Baby Hungry!

So I went into this photo shoot thinking "this will either cure my baby hunger (not that we don't have babies in abundance around here) or get the clock ticking."  And although I'm in no hurry to pull any triggers, it was definitely not the former when I met little Tessa.  She was such a beautiful, precious little thing.  This is just a sneak peek so more are to come...

And I just had to throw a picture in of this little lady's adorable older brother!  

Eight is Great!

To think that our very first photo shoot, was my this sweet niece's sister a couple years ago and now it's her turn to get baptized...How fast time flies.  Although it was a cold and dreary day to take pictures, my gal Ali-Kat was a good sport and super sweet.  XOXO!
