Gabi!

This is my niece Gabi. We took these photos in December for their Christmas card. This fit her personality perfectly. She has so many expressions - very fun to photograph, not so fun to choose just one favorite.


















The card ...

Miss Ella

Wow! It has been forever since I posted. December flew by and was filled with lots of work (not complaining) and vacation (which is actually work, too.) These photos are of my niece Ella and her December/Christmas photo shoot. Also, the finished product, their Christmas card. More from December to come and a few from my mentoring with the fabulous Vanessa Millecam.











This was their Christmas card, it was a 5x5 square trifold, front and back - lovely! Design by SPDESIGN.

More SNOW to love!

Seriously, is this family beautiful or what? I had to show you some more ....

SNOW DAY!!!!

This is Jen and her darling family. Jen designs and makes the most fabulous appliqué baby/kids clothes called Ruby Moon. You can tell by their outfits she has amazing style.

Shooting in a full-blown snow storm was a new one for me. It was full of challenges: it was cold, snow was blowing sideways and there was really no shelter to shoot under. I also learned that my camera thinks it can focus on the falling snow.

Despite all of this, I really do LOVE how they turned out. They are definitely more candid, and I think its more of my shooting style. I was talking with a fellow photographer this week and expressed that I thought I was getting away from what made me fall in love with photography.

I found "it" again with these photos, I hope you love them as much as I do.

My favorite photo of the day, and oddly, the first one I shot.

The "Beautiful" family

Leslie and her girls are good friends and neighbors of my friend Stephani. Steph told me that Leslie would be calling, she said "Oh you will LOVE them," She was right I did! They were so fun and such good sports, considering it was FREEZING!

Steph also said "they are the beautiful family", I think after seeing these, you'll agree.

Stevens Family - Party for Five

This cute family belongs to my new friend Missy. She has five children, and yes .. twins. They are adorable and so well behaved. A large family deserves a BIG post.

This session was a tough one, filled with challenging lighting, losing light and camera malfunctions. After looking at these, you can't tell- the kids personalities pop from the pictures - enjoy!

For Shanon

I have known this family forever, we all grew up together in Price. Shanon is one of my sister's closest friends. Morgan has the most beautiful eyes. She gave me mostly serious looks - just gorgeous! Here is a sneak peek for mom and dad.
