Little Miss Sunshine

Okay, okay, I use this title in jest, and hopefully you get a laugh out of this first picture.  Ellie has been a favorite of mine, I have caught her milestones since birth - for example, see her darling 9 month pictures here.  With her second birthday, she told her mom the entire drive to our shoot "I am NOT going to smile."  It tooks some coaxing - and 3 lovely assistants - but we managed to win.  What a beautiful girl :)

Family Fun

With so many little ones, we took our time, had lots of fun, and took LOTS of shots - and surprisingly, a zillion of them are great ones!  Thus, the long post.  I'm also very happy to start breaking in to the "friends and neighbors" market here in Provo - they are my first!

Peek from tonight

Spreading the Love

After Katie's cute family had their shoot, rumor has it her mom wanted one, too.  So here we go!  This shoot included a mini shoot add-on for the other darling family.  Love that curly hair!

This was the most unexpected shot just while I was getting my lighting.  Love it.

The boys.

The girls.

The "stink-eye"s.

The After Party

It started with amazing food, at the groom's gorgeous home in Pleasanton, CA.

Note the cake on his nose.  She had cake in her nose.

I don't know why these cute little ladies in line strike my fancy so much.

And, the dancing.  Oh, the dancing - it was superb.  Pictures don't do it justice.

The grand exit!  My favorite photo of the night.
