The Best Things In Life Are THREE

I see now how this Mama stays so trim!  Her kids are full of energy, personality and are always going three different directions.  I adore this family and my time with them was special in so many ways.  The little girl is a doll, she is very quiet, petite and super shy.  The youngest boy has a new boo boo every time I see him, but is tough like a tonka truck!  The oldest wears his heart on his sleeve and loves to be loved.  Together they make their Mama proud and me smile.  Daddy got called into work so missed out on these fun times, but we are already making plans to get together again to be sure to include him. 

Snyder Family

I am enjoying this busy time of year.  During this season of holiday photo greetings and family togetherness, many are thinking about family portraits.  I have heard so many Moms, Dads and even kids tell me..."It's been YEARS since we had a photo taken of all of us together".  I love that I can help to change that for them. 

This family was great to photograph on a fall day.  Look at that gorgeous coloring.  The parents have a fun tug-o-war going with the kids as they try to gain loyalty for each of their alma maters.  It was a fun day hanging with this family as they enjoyed time together, playing, laughing and connecting!!

Photo Contest Entry for IHeartFaces

Entering the following photo into my first photo contest!!!

The theme is “Silhouette.”  I have always loved shadow photos, but much harder to take than 'silhouettes'.  Caught this one downtown during a maternity shoot.

Enjoy!!

November Family Photos

I enjoyed the joyful spirit of this family so much.  They are all breathtaking.  They had just received news of the loss of a loved one the morning of this photo shoot.  We had already rescheduled due to weather issues and this Mommy was determined to not let it rain on her day again!!  I am so glad she didn't...the result is priceless.  These memories will live forever in their hearts and mine.

Robertson Family

I enjoyed this shoot a lot.  A great family with a wonderful story to tell.  A diva sister that likes to pose only in studio where she can be comfortable and fashionable.  Another sister that is posing all the time and in every situation.  The brother that takes all the women, emotions and moods with such a great attitude and creates fun and laughter at every turn.  This Mom has done a fantastic job raising respectful and loving children.  This is a family that is a treasure to be around.

Webster Family

This was a fun family shoot for all of us.  The wind blew hard that day and we pulled lots of hair away from eyes but those little girls are so cute!  This family is super sweet, very happy and really connected.  Mrs. Webster is a teacher and so the book reading photos on the front porch were extra special to her.
Enjoy!!
