Quick Family Shoot

This little family reunion shoot is proof that you can get some good shots in twenty minutes in your own neighborhood with a semi-resistant crowd. (They are my inlaws so I'm allowed to say they were resistant ;).

Christmas Cards

Here's another card going out this week:

Family Pictures in the Rain

These guys were such good sports - especially their darling little girl! It was raining the entire time, cold and windy too. Frankly I'm surprised by all the good shots we got... though you might see more if I can catch them on a better day!

Graduation Announcements

Votes, please? Things I should/should not be doing? I know the verbage isn't the most formal but face it, these aren't super-formal invitations. I'm open to ANY suggestions!

Oh Help. Child Portraits.

I can complain about this child because she's my own. And she won't look at me! The top two pictures are my favorites, and the only real "good" ones (in my opinion) out of the shoot, but I had to post a bunch so you could see just how many "not looking" pictures there are.

My admiration for child photographers continues to grow and grow.

Getting ready for Senior Pictures

We just decided to take a quick shoot to practice location ideas for next summer. I'd say it was a pretty productive 20 minutes - this girl has the most expressive face of anyone I've photographed. You'd never guess she's the quietest & shyest of the four sisters!

Family Pictures

We snuck in a quick shoot today between bouts of rain. Between bouts of children crying, too. Can you believe what angels they ended up being! This was so much fun. It would be nice if every shoot could be this quick and easy - and fruitful!

Family Christmas Card

Mom's Picks

I think one of the most awesome parts of doing this job is when others appreciate the end result even more than I do. The family I photographed last week was so excited, Mom is already going through and picking her favorites for printing. Here's a little collage of her picks so far. Thanks for all your appreciation!

Family Photo Shoot

Does a real-life family get any more gorgeous than this!? Check out mom's sexy shoes, the diva pre-teen, and Dad's cute smile. We had such fun. I hope my family is this cute and we're just as fun in fifteen years!
