This time of year, I’m blessed with clients who want ME to capture their family.  They might get Christmas cards to send to all their friends and family or they might be buying portraits for gifts.   Or maybe its just for themselves.  This time of year, people in MY family also want some of those portraits.  You’ve seen my sister’s children and now you get to see my husband’s side.  Every year, my mother in law, likes to get some shots of her with my father in law plus all the grandkids.  Originally we had planned a full session but instead ended up looking for just one good shots for the Christmas cards.  Here it is!   You’ll recognize my beautiful girls here and the little boys are my nephews.   Enjoy!

I can honestly say that I like all of my clients.  I enjoy my job, enjoy photographing children and enjoy meeting new people.  But every once in a while I get to photograph someone(s) that aren’t just clients.  This time, its my own niece and nephew.  So not only do I like these clients, I love ‘em!  Alot of times photographing children that KNOW you well is more difficult than photographing children that don’t know you.  This time last year, these sweet little ones were some of my first few clients.  Although they are beautiful (then and now), my nephew gave me a run for my money last year… and did NOT want to be photographed.  This year I can 100% say that this was one of the easiest sessions I’ve had all year.  They did great and we got done quickly.  Which was good because today was pretty dang cold and the clouds just kept rolling in, thicker and thicker!  Without further ado: some good looking kids that I have a little claim on! Enjoy!

Happiness, this little bit of precious just EXUDED it!  She LOVED her momma and grandmomma and it showed!  If I coulda, I woulda smothered this sweet little thing in kisses and hugs and I bet those two do on a regular basis.  I was privileged to meet baby A, her mom and her grandmom today.  I rescheduled them for this week because the weather was GORGEOUS and there are still some areas left with beautiful fall foliage that I didn’t want to miss out on.  The clouds started rolling in but  not before I got to photograph this beautiful baby to my heart’s extent!  Enjoy.

I got the chance to photograph this sweet, full of fun little girl A.  She’s recently turned 3 and will be getting a baby sister soon!  We met at the Oaklands Mansion and some of the trees there are just breathtakingly beautiful right now.  We had to keep to the perimeter since there was a wedding going on but we didn’t let it phase us!  Enjoy.

Another beautiful night and another beautiful family to photograph!  I have to say, this was a great session with a fun family!  Things went so smoothly, we even ended a little early, that’s how great they were.   Enjoy.

Isn’t this beautiful!?

He was so cute and fun!

I couldn’t decide between the next two images, I love them both so crazy much!

Lovely fall light!
