{My Kiddos}

Here's an early favorite of our hiking/picture taking expedition on Saturday.  It may not be my favorite composition but notice how no one is crying, punching, scowling, or pouting!  Awesome!  More to come later....

Okay, just one more...

{Schuelke Family}

Okay, this photo shoot had to set some records!  The Schuelke's needed some family photos fast so we set up my backdrop on the back patio and went to work.  I was finished shooting, editing, and had the photos on a disk and delivered all in a little over an hour!  Whew!

 

  

  

 

{Eight is Great!}

Miss Hayley turned eight and I had the opportunity to document this special birthday for her in her beautiful white dress.  What a sweet little girlie!

 

  

 

{Beyman Family}

My first appointment of the holiday season and such a cute family.  Little Emily loved the camera and was sad when I announced that we were done taking photos!  I'll take photos of you any time, Miss Emily!

 

  

  

  

 

{Plumb Family}

Fun times snapping photos of my best friend since high school and her boys.  They have such cute personalities and I love that her teenager wouldn't smile in any of the photos.  Typical teen.

 

  

 

{My Sweet Girl}

I have one of the sweetest girls around.  Here is one of my favorite photos of the year.

{Huff Family}

Here's my niece, her new hubby and their adorable baby who you got to see in the previous post.

 

  

 

{Joshua}

I had the opportunity to take pictures of one of the sweetest and most serious babies I have met in a long time.  He is the first of my oldest niece, Kathryn,  who can't be old enough to have a baby.  She was only 5 when I came into the family!  But she is, and here he is.  Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks?!

 

  

  

 

{Christmas Card Photo Attempts}

Taking pictures is one of my favorite things to do.  My kids are some of my favorite people.  But... taking pictures of my kids is often times extremely difficult.  They don't seem to want to cooperate as much as other people's kids do for me.   This turned out to be the case as I attempted to get a group photo of them for our cards this year.  I gave up and did individual photos because they are less inclined to hit each other during photos if they can't touch each other!

Gotta love those cuties!

{Misty's Belly}

I had the opportunity to take belly pictures for Misty.  When these photos were taken she was less than a week away from having the baby.  She is tiny and a super cute!  I had so much fun taking these photos!  We just took them on my back patio in front of my black backdrop.  This first one was actually taken in front of my ugly cinderblock wall and it turned out to be one of my favorites.  Thanks Misty!
