Merry Christmas!

Just thought I would say Merry Christmas!  I hope everyone has a safe, happy, and healthy Holiday week. Lyndee and I shot a wedding yesterday so look for that post and other fun new things. Thanks!

The Nadauld Brother's

What good looking boys! Chocolate eyes are my favorite and these two have some beautiful ones. 

Baby announcements

I feel like all of the family sittings for Christmas cards and gift portraits are winding down. I just wanted to post some of the cute birth announcements I have done over the past few months. I love taking pictures of infants & making custom birth announcements. These newborns are so sweet!

8 X 16 fun

Isn't this cute? I think it would look great as a gallery wrap as well. A good one to set on a shelf for something a little out of the ordinary.

The Mahoney's

This was a challenging shoot due to the  rainy, freezing cold weather. We were also working against time (the sun was going down...and I hate to use flash even with a diffuser). However, it is hard to take bad pictures when you have a FUN family as subjects. These kids were troopers even though their tears began to freeze. Thanks guys for being so GREAT! What do you think of this last picture? Yes...I enhanced his already beautiful blue eyes (I was going for more of a dramatic fine art look--TOO MUCH?) Give opinions please!

The Bell Family

This time it was the whole family. Aren't these TWO sweet faces?  The little girl is such a spunky one and the baby just as laid back as they come. I love my job.

Yes...another very cute card!

What do you think? Is it cute or too plain? I like to keep things clean and simple so the pictures speak for themselves (get it...ha, ha!), but my hubby thinks it needs more color. I am having way to much fun with this stuff!

Two cute kids!

Here are some fun images of two cuties. I love the curls on this little girl...she is such a princess. Her brother is a happy little man with a great smile.

A CUTE CARD!

I thought this turned out so cute! I re-visited the JOY idea I used for my own family shoot a year ago. 

The Jepsen's

This shoot was a fun one. No broken camera's or lenses. I love this family, they are some of the BEST people in the world. I went to High School with both, but it was not until after High School that we became friends. We lived in the same condo complex and had baby girls close to the same time. We spent a lot of time having Sunday morning breakfast's and time outside on the play ground. They were blessed this year with a sweet baby boy to match their very cute 9 year old girl. I love these images!

The Grigg's Family

This shoot was one of the coldest day yet this year. These kids were troopers. My personal favorite is the sweet little girl with crystal clear (watery from the cold) eyes. 

Another George Family

What a great shoot. I had the opportunity to photograph another cute GEORGE family. Five kids...WOW that is one busy Mom. Doesn't she look great. Those boys are going to be protective of their one sister. When I started photographing some of the couple shots and I asked them to kiss, you could feel the passion between these two love birds!

You know the saying about being ugly enough to break a camera. Well it is true...I am ugly enough to break one (hopefully just one)! During this shoot I stepped away from the tripod and down it went...tripod, my brand new camera, and my favorite Nikon 18-70MM lens all bruised and damaged a bit. A few tears were shed but all things can be repaired for a price & I am lucky to have a great backup plan!
