Oh my goodness! I could not wait to share this this session and the set that Beth + I put together…on THE windiest day possible But you’d never know it! I can’t get enough of these photos….sooooooo fun, and the colors??? and aren’t their kids freakin adorable?? and it may or may not have gotten a little steamy up in that tent ;0 LOVE everything about this…see for yourself.

I go way back with these two ….and am so thrilled to be able to capture their family;) This year I cooked up something EXTRA fun for little *G… it was soooooo fun I think you see what she thought of my idea!! She also showed us some of her dance moves….and a few taught to her by her aunt Ellen…I love you ellen

ps…maggie also is one of the founders of an amazing blog/website that you want to check out ~ called “Mom Colored Glasses” go see what all the fun is about over there!!

The Dallon’s won my family photo contest back in the beginning of the summer….and their session was soooooo adorable and kids were just perfect. I hope you love seeing a few of my favorites!

Yes, I did use the uber, and I’m sorry for those of you who can’t handle that…but it was the coolest word I could think of Kelly is an amazing photographer and we have shot together quite a bit, and she shot my family last year and I was IN love with them and could not thank her enough….as I’m sure many of you know how much work it is to get ready for family portraits…and you just HOPE they look good! Well, I am so excited to share with you what we did for Kelly’s family shoot. Kelly is a country/vintage girl….so naturally, a vintage Ford truck, pillows, quilts, clotheslines, and a picnic basket was exactly what we had to do Luckily, Jamie Lou from Hey Day Event Lab totally saw our vision + did so much work to help make this session extra -uber-fabulous and….luckily, Kelly has relatives with old trucks…cause I’ve been looking for one of those fooooorever We all collaborated and something amazing was captured… and I am so happy to just a share a few ….

Oh how I love the Pottengers Max just turned one! But….he is scared of me. He came to my studio about 3 months ago….I was shooting John’s extended family and as soon as he looked at me…he would start to pout..and eventually cry. As long as I hid behind my camera, he couldn’t see me, and he was tear free! I really thought my bright red hair was scaring him So I was a bit nervous for this session… I knew I couldn’t do the normal things, like tickle him, grab his toes, or throw leaves…because he was still a bit unsure of me. But his big sister, mom, + dad sure can get him to smile!!

Max…hopefully I’m growing on you Also, have included a few from Lexi’s “staged” 3yr photoshoot from two months earlier That girl loves my camera – red hair and all Don’t you love the stage??? So did she…do you see her moves?
