Family Session: The P Family

We had a great time taking some Christmas pictures for the P Family. Miss Natalia is just too cute, especially in those leggings with the red tips! I've known that little nugget since she was in her Momma's belly and I was taking pictures of said belly. And how could we not get some shots involving Salem, Natalia's older, canine brother! Despite not having a gallery devoted entirely to Salem, which some might want us to have (hint: the adults in these photos), we really do enjoy him!

Children Session: Lukas, Catherine and Cassidy

These kiddos are so polite and personable. Their Mom alternates each year as to if her and Dad are in the picture. This year was a kid year. I'm glad this session worked out because these kids lead a busy schedule. Catherine had just played in her first basketball game of the season and Lukas had a busy lacrosse schedule that weekend. And sweet little Cassidy told us all about what she had been doing in school. Husband/Assistant got a big kick out of discussing the BCS system and its faults with Lukas.

Children Session: Ellie and Camille

You know that scene in "White Christmas" where the two sisters do their 'Sisters' routine? I can't stop singing that song after pulling photos from this particular session. They were too cute in their matching dresses and leggings. I had to pull Mom and Dad in for a few shots too. They had all just come from the Adolphus Children's parade and were full of Christmas spirit!

Children Session: Jacob and Hannah

Love taking pictures of these two. Love their blonde, BLONDE hair and their blue, BLUE eyes! Please know that no ornaments were harmed during this photo session! :)

Merry Christmas!

To all of my clients, friends and family that check this blog, Merry Christmas to you and your families. I hope that the spirit of the season is alive and well in your homes and hearts. You have all been a blessing in my life this year and I appreciate each and every one of you.

Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace and goodwill towards men!

Family Session: The C Family

While my SIL and BIL and adorable nephew were in town over Thanksgiving, we managed to squeeze in a Christmas session admist all the other holiday craziness. I still cannot get over how cute little Finn is. We can't wait to see him at Christmas!

I love this one because it looks like he could be selling fake designer watches on the streets of New York or something.

And this last one was a throw-away shot at the end, but Finn's Yaya ended up liking it the most for some reason. Husband/Assistant calls it "He Sees You When You're Sleeping."

Family Session: The G Family

Gosh, I've been taking photos of this family for awhile now...since John was just a little boy. I love watching families grow, especially this one. It's a wonderful thing when clients start to become friends as well. John and RoryCate were just too cute in their sweaters. Their Mom said that these shoots always give her a good reason to visit her old friend Nordstroms! I think that is a perfectly reasonable!

Family Session: The H Family

The H's showed up in their Christmas reds for their Christmas shoot. All three of them had been under the weather, but they were troopers and did a fantastic job. Little Lacey is just too cute in her dress and was the perfect poser!

I was very lucky to be asked by Ali to take some pictures for their Christmas cards. Ali is one of my closest friends from childhood and is a photographer herself. And Nelson and Husband/Assistant were actually friends at A&M long before they found and married such wonderful women. :) Both of them were part of our wedding and we love spending time with them, even more so now that they have Miss Kennedy! She is a doll and loves to ham it up for the camera. She makes the funniest faces and just cracks us up. I took some newborn shots of her about a year ago, and it's been a pleasure to watch her grow up into such a cute little junebug. We added Uncle Max to the mix as well to get some shots for Ali's mom's card as well!

Family Session: The M Family

We started out the M's session with the kiddos wearing their Christmas pj's. Such a cute idea and it made for a very cute Christmas card. I've taken pictures of this family ever since Miss Molly was a baby girl, and now we have Mr. Gabe added to the mix. They are such a fun and laidback family and I always enjoy our shoots. Miss Molly was a little sick this day, but we managed to get some shots of her smiling. She has such a energetic personality, so it's hard NOT to capture that on film. And Gabe's big grin with those giant blue eyes just kills me!
