Lila

This was a fun photo shoot. When Jill called and asked if we could take their family session at their home I was excited to try something a little different. They wanted candid family pictures around their house and I had so many ideas. There were so many favorite pictures from this family session.

Lila had just fallen asleep when I arrived. I had to take advantage of nap time. She fell asleep in her onsie so no naked baby pictures. She is 8 weeks old and it gets hard to get them back to sleep. So we went with what she was wearing and they still turned out precious.


Lila had her photo shoot while mom and dad were getting ready.

Then we included the family. I love this photo.

Of course Sam (their dog) needed to be included also. He is part of the family and very good with Lila.



I love these next two black and white photos. Precious Lila moments.

Thank you so much for inviting me into your home - it has a wonderful atmosphere. I enjoyed meeting your family, and had a great time capturing your morning.

Scott Family

This was another busy day with two photo shoots in the same day. Renae is a close high school friend of mine and I love photographing their family. Grace is a doll and seven months old. She is so cute and was starting to teeth the day of the photos. Her parents kept saying she isn't smiling and seems grumpy. I think we got some great pictures of the whole family and Grace.



This was mostly a Grace photo shoot. They wanted to wait until she was sitting to take her next set of pictures.





Look at those eyes!





It is always great catching up. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Ethan

Ethan was six weeks old at his photo session and did great. He took a whole bottle from his mom and then was ready to be a model for the two hours. I haven't had an infant session since April. Ethan was so cute and was a great little model.



Now when I say be ready to possibly be peed on I mean it. I think the whole 3 ounce bottle ended up on mom and dad.









I am going to end this post with two of my favorite pictures. The sleeping picture below is a favorite because it took us 15 minutes or more to try and get Ethan to sleep. Finally the little guy closed his eyes. I bet he crashed once he got in the car.



This photo below gets me into the Christmas spirit. I love it.



Thanks so much for calling. I enjoyed meeting the whole family.

Griffin Family

This was a fun photo shoot. It has been a long time since I took pictures of a family with older kids, and these kids were great. Hopped right into every picture and smiled on que. I had a great time with this photo shoot trying to get some fun shots of the kids and family.



This family is another busy family with a 10, 9 and 8 year old running in every direction. They have wonderful personalities and kept me laughing during the whole photo shoot.











I love this picture of Taylor, Ryan, and Spencer.



Thanks for taking pictures right before CAT-GRIZ football game. Hopefully you made it to pregame. It was fun to catch up with everyone. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Dye Family

I met this family for the first time on Saturday. They were the sweetest family that is very busy; three children ages 3, 2 and infant. The 3 year old girl was my little poser, and the 2 year old boy was busy. I was surprised we got him to pose in a few pictures and he did really well. The baby was a sweetheart just checking things out and not fussing at all.

I love it when parents ask, Do you think we got any good pictures? I always know there are going to be a few in there, just never know how many. We got a lot of great pictures of this family, enjoy my favorites.



With boys you need to make sure you take their pictures first thing. This photo was within the first 10 minutes and it turned out cute.











I had a great morning with your family. Thanks for calling and Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

These pictures were taken inside the student union building at MSU-B. There are not tons of options inside, but it has some greenery and is warm. Just an option for winter weather.

Cousins

This picture is was taken at the end of the children's session on Saturday and the beginning of the Gertsch Family session. The families are related and I thought it would be fun to get a group picture of the cousin that were there. I think there are 15 cousins and 1 on the way? I don't know if that is the exact number, but we are missing a few - OK half.



Thanks for sticking around. This is a good looking group of kids!

Gertsch Family

What a wonderful family. I have been taking their family pictures for about two years, and always look forward to catching up with everyone during the photo session. These kids are so adorable and were very good during the photo shoot. This photo session was Saturday morning right when the wind started to pick up. I just knew we had to find cover or else the girls hair was going to be everywhere! I think with the windy conditions there are still too many to choose from. Here are some of my favorites.







The photo below is cute. Brigham crawling away while Griffin and Adria sit nicely for their picture. He is getting close to walking and then he'll be a kid on the move.

I had a great time on Saturday, thanks for calling. The kids are growing up way too fast.

Annie, Macee & Carter

What a fun morning! I photographed this family about 2 years ago and Carter has changed the most. He has gone from little baby to boy. He was so adorable wanting to do anything his sisters did, which made him a great poser.



This was just the children's session today. They are expecting a little brother soon so mom wanted to wait. Although for being 33 weeks along I think you look great! I have to say I love Macee's smile. We tried everything, but her toothless grin just lights me up.

Isn't this cute? It looks like he is getting ready to fish.



Thanks so much for calling. Can't wait to meet the little guy and see you for family photos in the spring.
