7 Months

My baby is growing up too fast.

My Nephews

I went out yesterday for a quick (and cold) shoot of my nephews. Despite the freezing temperatures and the wind these pictures turned out alright.

And one of their parents too!

I Love These

Hold on to your hats people, this is going to be a long one!! These guys are dear friends of ours, and I had so much fun taking pictures of them today. I love taking pictures of people I know well - it's easier when you already have an idea of their personalities. I have so many favorites from the shoot, but I am limiting myself to just posting these. Enjoy!!

Umm, can we say photogenic?? I've never met a more photogenic group of people. It's almost sickening really! =)

The kiddos are laughing at their parents kissing behind them. Love it!!

I love how this one turned out!

Love this one too (I'm trying to see how many times I can say love in this post). I love families that are up for anything!

I can't wait to show you guys the rest of them!!

BRRRRRR!

It was COLD when we took these shots today. Seriously, this family suffered for these shots - they are troopers! I, however, was nice and warm in my coat and gloves. =)

Look, they are freezing and still smiling like champs (and yes, I do like this location)!


Such a cute boy!

They were such good kids. We sat her down, peeled off her coat, snapped the picture and put the coat back on her.

Sweet picture of Dad with some of his girls.

The In-Between Shots

Some of my favorite shots from a photo shoot are the "in-between shots". The ones that I snap in between the more formal poses. They aren't posed and a lot of times the subjects aren't even looking. They are more natural and more "real life" than the ones that often make it up on the wall. I love them!!

You just don't get these shots in a studio.

My Family

Amidst all the picture taking for other people, I found time to take pictures of my family. I'd much rather take pictures of someone else than be in front of the camera myself.

She looks so big to me in this picture.

I think they turned out well, and I'll be looking at them up on my wall for the next year!

Baby Announcement

When I say "baby announcement" I am not making the announcement that I am pregnant, just that I made a baby announcement for someone. =) Here it is, and I took all the pictures for it too!
