Sam & Co.

You would never guess that this shoot took place on the coldest, windy-est day of the year thus far, and we had the whole thing accomplished in less than 30 minutes.  I drove home, my fingers slowly regaining life, thinking about what a great catalyst cold weather is for quick photo shoots.  And I'm thrilled!  I'm thrilled at what beautiful photos this gorgeous family created.

Fall Mini Shoot

Quick and easy, which is always a bonus when you've got three kids to juggle - and they were great!  This has become one of my new favorite spots, and their darling family made it all the better.

Fall Family Fun

Remember Eric & Brittany's engagements [see here]?  It was so much fun to see what they've been up to in their first married year and meet the whole family!

 

Below are two different pictures, taken at different times,  to be made in to bookends.  (Yes, I'm pretty impressed with myself about how much it could look like one picture.)

These boys had me laughing while I shot, whenever I thought about this shoot, and the whole time I edited.

Let's try something new, shall we?

This is one of those dream-come-true shoots where every single photo we took in our 1 hour was a winner.  Not kidding, usually I shoot 500-600 photos in a session with kids, but here we ended up with a miniscule 332 original photos, narrowed down to about 90 favorites, and I'm having a hard time narrowing it down any further.  (and don't get your hopes up for a shoot this lucky.  My family shoots are the exact opposite, and I'm okay with that.)

So here are a BUNCH.  [I really hope this works].

.......

Eh, blogger won't let me post it as wide as I'd like, but oh well.  You get the idea.  This will save me 2 hours of blogging them one by one :)

The stars aligned so perfectly that the 90 shots would look very over-done if I did any more editing to them. Here are a few more that I wanted to see bigger on blog, however:

Kayla + Josh

Remember Kayla's graduation pictures here?  I'm so honored to capture the next big step in her life - congratulations Kayla!  You chose a very photogenic guy - he was so great to work with, look at that winning smile.  Best of luck and happiness to you both!

It's a sad day

To the senseless defacers of a beautiful historical building, as well as a much-loved photo spot:

Shame on you.

In addition, I feel sorry that your hearts and souls are so empty that this sort of activity brings you entertainment.

We had some good times.  Your beauty will live on in a zillion photographs, taken by me and many others.
