Another Christmas session! Every year the B family comes to me for beautiful portraits and Christmas cards, and I always look forward to our sessions. This time Jack was more interested in being a typical toddler than having his picture taken. Lots of serious faces! He was actually really great. He sat right down and looked right at me!

But he did make me work a bit to get a smile!

Perfect for a family Christmas card!

What a beautiful family

This afternoon I had another session with my buddy, Ashton! Ashton is getting so big, I cannot believe it! He’s now a year old and on the verge of walking, and of course, just as sweet as ever

To follow up from my last post, here he is with Miss Angelle, just after she planted a big kiss on his cheek.

Little man is so ready to walk!

Fun with daddy

He’s a nurse practitioner in training

LOVE this!! Snuggling with mommy I know this steals the heart of all the mommies out there.

So cute! Little Ash takes a ride in his wagon every day, and as you can see, he thoroughly enjoys it!

Again, another not so sneak peek! My youngest sister Allie came in town for Ethan’s birthday last month. It was her birthday month as well. My gift to Allie was a photography session with Ethan to capture images for an awesome wall display for her new apartment. Although I’ve already released her gallery and designed her wall display, I wanted to come back to the blog and share a few of my favorites from her session.

I apologize for the humongous share, but I just can’t help it! These are two of my favorite people and this was honestly one of my favorite photo sessions. The color and emotion were amazing!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting the M family for a family session. This awesome family was in serious need of a new family portrait. They had not been in front of the camera together in 10 years! I feel honored that they chose me to capture of a glimpse of who they are as a family today.

Let me tell you about the M family…
They are laid back and easy going. They are charming and funny. They are beautiful and handsome. They love their pets. They have really wonderful relationships – as a family, as a couple, as parents, and as siblings. They are fun to be around and they make me smile.

M family – it was truly a pleasure to meet you and photograph your family! I hope you enjoy your extended sneak peek. I really could not pick just a couple of favorites to show you early. I usually post a sneak peek of my favorites right after the session, but in this case, I had to take extra time to share extra photos. Enjoy!

Can’t you tell that they are a close family?

Nismo and Toby were wonderful! So sweet and so well behaved. I think they had as much fun as we did!

Thanks again you guys for giving me the opportunity to photograph your family! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of photographing sweet baby G. He was wide awake and alert our entire session, but he barely fussed. He was so quiet and sweet – a pleasure to photograph.

Here are my favorite images from our session. I hope you enjoy!

This hat was a special request by Baby G’s mother. I usually do not prefer to see the diaper in a photo, but something about this hat and this image made the diaper seem appropriate. And don’t let him fool you… He’s not sleeping. I just caught him mid blink!

Cozy little peanut

Sweet baby bear

Isn’t he adorable?!
