On Mother’s Day I took some cute family pictures of the Larned family. Since the last time I took their portraits they had another super-cute baby. We took these pictures in their backyard and they turned out soooo beautifully. I hope you like them as much as I do.

I received a call from Rachelle, a friend of the McKees, a few weeks before the holidays. Her family was coming into town for Christmas and wanted to know if I would take a big family portrait. Sure! Of course, it was one of those days where the temperature only reached 6 degrees and we had to work inside. And of course, three of the kids were sick. But, we made the most of it and produced some cute images.

As my business has grown in the last year I often wonder what’s easier: photographing people I know or photographing people I don’t know. I’m not sure one is easier than the other, but I get way more nervous photographing people I know. I have known Holly since she and I were four. We lived just down the street from each other and went to school together from kindergarten through 12th grade. We weren’t always friends that whole time, but we have stayed in touch throughout the years. Holly’s husband Ralph I met after they were married. And now they have two kids. When did I get so old?

Anyway, they are a beautiful family and made it really easy for me. Thanks again Holly and Ralph for letting me capture your family!!

Holly and Ralph are HOT HOT HOT!!

I love the next two pictures that Dave captured.

You know when relatives of the Adkins family calls to schedule their portraits that it’s going to be a totally awesome session. And it was! We originally planned on having the pictures done in June, but we decided to reschedule to get the fall colors. But, it was like 80 degrees that day and we had to pretend it was chilly. :) Thank you Laslo family for letting me capture your moments.

All I can say is, HUBBA HUBBA!!

It’s very rare that I’m speechless, but for this post I’m going to let the pictures speak for themselves. I think they’re beautiful. Thank you Tiffany and Andy for letting me capture your growing family.

I absolutely love this picture:

We met the Ryan, Cindy, and their children last Sunday at Franklin Park for a portrait session. Boy was it sunny!!! After some challenging family shots, everyone started having fun once Dave let the kids climb the tree. Thanks Staffords for a fun morning!

Giant kids? Tiny house?

O-H….

Ooohh, la la!!

I love the Adkins family!!! They are fun, their kids ham it up for the camera, and they choose the best locations for their pictures. This year we met at Dawes Arboretum and it didn’t disappoint. It was like we were the only ones there. And the pictures came out soooo beautiful.

Talk about a family tree….

FAVORITE!!!!!

Seriously, could this be a more beautiful family?!

Dave has moved up from assistant to second shooter. :) He’s a total kid magnet and what better person to capture kids being kids. Nice find, Dave.

One question I get asked frequently when booking sessions is “Where?” The McKee family initially asked me to shoot at a local park, but when we confirmed our plan we decided to shoot at their house. They told me they had a tree covered backyard with access to a creek.

OMG! No one told me they had their own park in their backyard. It was beautiful! And the access to the creek was more like a private launching area for a world of possibilities.

The McKee family was so laid back, they were great models, and could not have been more beautiful people both inside and out.

Here are some of my favorite pictures.

My sister and her family only live a few miles away currently. I am lucky I get to see my niece and nephews often. They also love having their pictures taken, as evidenced below. I could have posted hundreds of pictures; they were all that good. But, these are a few of my favorites.
