Simply Gorgeous

When Heather first contacted me about doing photos for a family of 13,

I was t̶e̶r̶r̶i̶f̶i̶e̶d̶ thrilled.

Groups aren't easy, especially not when little ones are involved.

Someone's eyes are always closed,

or they are looking away,

or someone is having a bit of a tantrum...

and it's not always a child.

I had a lot of fun with Heather doing Baby Marley's one year pictures,

so I agreed to do the session,

and I am SO GLAD I did.

This session was a piece of cake,

it was one of the easiest of the weekend and it wasn't even a mini session.

The location ended up being perfect for fall,

and there weren't any tantrums at all!

I love how everyone in this picture happened because of the very proud

mother/grandma in the center:

Same story here: all because two people fell in love:

Mommas and their boys:

Daddy's Girls:

Aunts are the best!

How stinking cute are these two??

Hope your families love the preview.

You will have many, many, many pictures coming your way sometime next week!

House Family

Fall brings 2 things that makes family sessions almost impossible: Cold Weather and Dark Evenings. Well it is almost winter so we had to get creative and crash the convention center to catch a couple of snapshots for the House Family for Christmas.

I must say I was a little scared taking pics of 14 people but these kids were great!

I had a great time meeting the house family! Your pictures will be ready soon. As for the rest of the families waiting for their pics to be posted, I am planning to post a family each and finishing editing a family each day! Pics will be in the mail soon to all!

The Fitzgerald-Robinette Family

I have known the Fitzgerald Family since the day I came home from the hospital 24 years ago. They were in the pictures at my first birthday party and now I am overjoyed to have gotten the opportunity to document a moment in their family's life.

I watched Karin and Lisa grow through life- watched them play sports, watched them graduate high school, and watched "boys" come in and out of their lives. I wasn't surprised when Karin decided to keep Will around. He is a great guy and a great father to their two children.

The kids not only have very loving parents and grandparents;

they have an Aunt who adores them.

I had so much fun seeing you all again. I miss our little family on Cherryvale, I can only hope that I one day raise my kids on a street with such amazing neighbors: Neighbors they consider family. I can't wait for you all to see the rest of your pictures- I hope these hold you over till then!
