We had 2 families for this session and with 4 kids under 4 it was quite a challenge but we did it! I’ve worked with the ‘S’ family since their middle child was born. The baby just graduated from her baby plan and I am so sad! So, I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their family with dad’s sister’s family, who were visiting from out of town. Kept me on my toes for sure!

We started off outdoors but it was a little cold and the kids were getting cranky so we finished off in the studio.

Here’s a cute outtake. There were plenty of those for sure, but this one cracked me up! I have 3 boys so I so relate. I honestly think I would hang this on my wall if it were of my kids - it makes me smile!

I always love it when these two come in for a session. We usually shoot on location but decided to do some studio shots this time. Baby ‘G’ wasn’t too thrilled about having to pose with his sister, either, but I did get a composite of the two together! Yeah, I got tricks up my sleeve!

And I know this is a large share - and I had to make myself stop adding more to the post. Sorry, ‘L’, but it will be hard to choose! :)

Oh my, the photos of the boy on the chair are just simply lovely. So adorable!

I had a lot of fun with this sweet family! Got some great family shots and even some with the dogs! Mom wanted a few of the dogs by themselves, too. They are harder to photograph than little kids, lemmetellya!

It was also homecoming for her son, so we got some shots of him and his girlfriend before they went off for a fun evening together!

Thank you, Kate, for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family!

Wow, I can’t even believe this little one is ONE already! She was born 1 day before my 3rd baby was born. I remember being on pain meds doing her little newborn session. LOL It was so worth it, though! Best clients EVER!

We went to the pumpkin patch for these and had so much fun! The weather was perfection and her facial expressions were cracking me up! And check out the cake smash… the girl loves her some cake!!!

Hope you guys enjoy these so far! Many more to come!

What a great location for this session. I just love the one with Mom and daughter.

I’m so behind in blogging! But I wanted to touch on this fun party I shot for an amazing woman. She is a 3 year breast cancer survivor and was honored to have her friend and husband plan a special 40th Birthday Party for her at Indian Springs Country Club!

No detail was left out and the food was amazing! I loved hearing about Stacy’s triumph over breast cancer and how she went through all the treatment with such a great attitude!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Stacy, and I know there will be many more to come!

Melissa Klein posted the following on October 18, 2011 at 5:49 pm.

Love all the details - looks like a great party!

This is such a great kid! I’ve known him forever and am so privileged to have photographed him for his senior pictures.

He played baseball for a couple of years as a pitcher but decided to move to track when his arm started bothering him. He helped his team win state last year in track and is on the way to another great year! But, there’s also a cowboy in him. The look certainly suits him! Isn’t he cute? Seriously, the camera loved him. I had a hard time getting him to look serious - just a happy guy with a great smile!

Hope you enjoy these so far - it was so hard to pick just a few!

Lina posted the following on October 27, 2011 at 4:29 pm.

Love plays with light! Your job is not too shabby, is it?

What can I say about this young lady? She is scary smart, truly kind, and sweet as can be. She is also a fabulous athlete, in fact I don’t think she has ever tried anything that she wasn’t naturally good at… and just an amazing well-grounded kid.

Wait…. kid - did I say kid? She is my niece and yes, she’s a kid. She can’t be graduating and this can’t be her in these pictures. This ‘person’ is truly gorgeous, like Kara, but way too grown up. I must have photographed an imposter!!

And yes, I posted a ton. In fact, this is the tip of the iceberg - there were so many amazing shots of her that this is by no means all of the good ones. I’m having to resist posting more in fact! I had a blast with this photo shoot and feel so privileged to have gotten to photograph her. Thank you, Kara, for letting me do this!!!

Gorgeous! I would have never guessed high school senior. Fantastic photos!

Little ‘A’ is a young lady now! I’ve been photographing her since she was a newborn! She has changed so much since her one year session, Mom wanted to get a few updated shots. We did a mini session, which can be a challenge at that age, but she was great! A little sass but a whole lot of fun, too!

Speaking of sass, I seriously can’t look at this without laughing out loud. She was not difficult during her session at all, but she just HAD to sneak in a little sass in there! Too funny!
