Little Punkin!

Today I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet little punkin. Doesn't she have the cutest little squishy cheeks?

Btw, the adorable pumpkin hat was made by my sweet friend Karina. She is so talented with a ball of yarn... I mean really talented. She sent me a ton of gorgeous little props to use for my photography and I am so excited to show them to you! I actually used quite a few of them in this session and will be sharing them soon! Sorry, only one pic for tonight...

Happy Halloween!

Love this girl...

It has been killing me keeping these pictures all to myself!! I have so much love for this girl... my seriously gorgeous sister-in-law, Jen. She is the posing queen... no kidding!! Most of the time I just stand back and let her do her thing and start clicking away. This whole photoshoot was seriously one of the funnest shoots ever... she ROCKED IT!! And how much do you love this Coca-cola wall?

She's almost like a modern day Marilyn Monroe... love it!

Love, love, love this house!!

This next one... one of my favs!

Isn't her hair to die for? I've never seen anything like it... love your style, Jen!!

This next shot is such a sweet one... it's a picture of Jen's grandpa who passed away last year. It was so cute because as soon as I took the picture and showed it to Jen's mom, she started to tear up. I thought it was a darling idea and how touching to make him a part of it.

Absolute favorite shot of the whole day. When I was finished editing this picture I pretty much couldn't believe what I had just done. And it's totally going on my business cards. She is stunning!!!

And love the lighting in these last three.

I seriously wanted to cry the night I came home and looked at these for the first time. Jen and I have been sharing ideas for over a year now of what we were going to do for her bridals and to see it all come together, I think, gave us both the biggest sense of accomplishment. And through it all I think it brought us closer which is why I love to do this. I get to bond with people in ways that I never would normally and I'm loving it!

Let's hear it for the boys...

I just can't get enough of this picture... the entire time I was editing it I could not stop smiling. Doesn't it just crack you up? This is Kami with her four extremely fun and adorable brothers. And, believe it or not, she actually has one more brother that wasn't able to make it to the ceremony. I could just tell that this family is no stranger to fun and enjoys being with one another. It was such a fun day and I'm so happy that these boys were such good sports. There was no warning for them that bare legs were going to be required and they did it with very little complaining! ;)

Oh, and sorry for all the one-picture-posts. I really have so many things I want to share and hope to be able to do it soon! Honestly, it's become the story of my life... please stay tuned for more... this week, I promise!!

Sneak Peek for Aubrey...

We had so much fun tonight chasing after this little misses. I just adore this house and it's charm. It's always so much fun finding new locations. And in case you were wondering I've decided to start shooting in RAW... for all you photogs out there I'd love to hear what you LOVE/HATE about it. I'm loving it so far and kinda wished I would have started sooner...

Missed one...

I was going through these pictures and realized that this one was ready to be posted but never was. Such a shame... it was too pretty to pass up so I am sharing.

My Signature Move...

I'm calling this my signature move... (hand behind the neck)

You know you loved it with Angie & Christian so I brought it back. And it's probably gonna pop up every now and then in future posts. Still love it just as much as I did back then.

Sneak peek for Paige!

Holiday Cards

I am so excited for the holidays!! This is such a fun time of year. It also happens to be that time of year when you're thinking about family pictures and what the heck are we going to do for a holiday/Christmas card? I absolutely love designing holiday cards for clients and their families. So this year I've decided to do a little special. Anyone that books a family session for the months of October and November will receive 25 double-sided 5x7 press printed holiday cards!! (oh, and envelopes, too!) Wahoo! How fun is that?

For those of you that think 25 cards isn't enough... you can purchase an additional 25 for $50. Pretty cool!

The Lane's

And here's the rest...

I could not get enough of these girls... they were so silly and did I mention BEAUTIFUL?? I could tell that they really have fun together. It was so fun to watch.

Little posers too!

This little guy gave me a run for my money. But, honestly, I'm used to it. Playing is much more fun than sitting still and smiling for pictures... but, man, he is gorgeous!

These next four are my very fav. The sun was absolutely perfect for me that night. And these girls couldn't have been more photogenic. I seriously had goose bumps when I pulled these up for the first time!

And, of course, Mom and Dad. Beautiful couple! Such a fun night!
