Enjoying the weather

Hard to believe we were acutally thankful for this warm weather... in the 50's! Turned out to be a beautiful couple of days.

I had to privilege of shooting sweet Addie a couples of weeks ago, now mom wanted the whole family! What a sweet bunch of kids! Winston 'the puppy' fit right in with their sweet and calm demeanor. It was truely a joy to capture these kids!

Sweetness...

Sweet Courtney is my son's age, 6! She has grown so much in the last 6 months, still shy and quiet- yet beautiful and graeful. I have known her mom for way too many years! So nice to have great friends. I might mention that these 2 did amazing, considering that it was 39 degrees during this shoot. Little Nathan keep getting the chills then giggling at himself!

Almost 6-month pictures...

Sweet baby Ryan entered this world about 7 weeks early and while mommy was on vacation! Lots of struggles at first, but doing fantastic now! Don't we wish every baby was this happy! Great session, thanks mommy!

So much fun doing sessions with close friends, this was no exception. Loved the gorgeous barn! They were troopers in the 29 degree weather!

New Year's Goal

One of my New Year's Resolution or goal is a good family picture. Seems I am pretty picky, even with my own kids. Here is a new location I am in love with! Seems Carrigan enjoyed running away from everyone more than anything!

'i love you fingers'....

Had a great time photograping these 2! The New Year's Eve weather held our just long enough for us to get some great pics! I am totally in love with those red curls and blue eyes.

My goal with the blog is to upload 2 of my favorite pics to give families a 'sneak peak'... however I am beginning to realize this will be harder than I thought. We might have to start with 4 on this one!

This was obviously more funny for those watching than her, she was so sweet trying her hardest to get up on that swing!

Uncharted territory

So here's the beginning of my 'on-the-side' photography business.... to my full time 'job', although I have difficulty thinking of this as a job. I have always enjoyed the joy that my photographs bring to me and others. I have been both lucky and blessed to begin this new adventure.

My intent is to use the blog as 'sneak peaks', as I know you are even more excited about getting the pictures back than you are to have them taken. So, stay tuned- this ride could be fun!
