My Winter Girl

When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters.

Hilarious!!!

Hands down one of the funniest families ever!! I LOVE taking their pictures, the whole family has so much personality and the interaction between the parents and the kids keeps me laughing the whole time! I absolutely love that "T" was such a little model, it's been the boys lately that have been loving the camera time! He kept popping into every picture, or I would turn and there he would be propped in some spot with a smile on his face as if to say "Hey, are you going to get this on film....cause this is some good stuff!"
And big sister is so gorgeous, those eyes are killer! One of my favorite pictures I have ever taken is the one where she has the wheat stalk between her teeth. She was just standing there off to the side minding her own business chewing on it and I'm so glad I turned to snap the pic!
I can't imagine a year going by without hanging out with you guys!
Thanks again :)

Cousins!

After a few nasty days of cold and storms it was up in the air what would happen to this photo shoot! Originally scheduled for the canyon we moved it to the valley and then as the morning progressed and rain began to fall we called it off....then the clouds began to lift and we decided to go for it!
The greatest quote from one of the mom's was "Well, I'm a bad person to ask because I'm always optimistic!" Hey, that's not a bad quality at all. We should all be more like that!! And it all worked out :)
The lighting was gorgeous, the backdrop of nature looked almost handpainted the colors were so rich. These were all little cousins to each other and they were so so fun! We got really fun group shots and individual pairings of the siblings and groups of the girl cousins and the boys etc. Grandpa came along for some of his own shots that he wanted for business purposes. It was cute to see him surrounded by all of his grandchildren, and you could tell how proud he was of his daughters in the shot with the three of them. All four of the mothers were great about letting me do my thing, we laughed a lot and it hardly seemed like work out in the beautiful fresh air with this beautiful famliy all around me!

The Big Arrival!

You may remember this fantastic child and Maternity shoot from a few months back. Well beautiful "J" is finally here and she is just as lovely as her mother!
Truly one of the kindest people "A" is one of those clients that I feel like is also a friend :)
Baby "J" is such a little girl, mom had wonderful bows and a sweet little bracelet and the cutest socks that looked like a pair of maryjanes!
I love the shots of her exploring her little hands and she has a perfect bow shaped mouth.
Thanks "A" for being so fun to work with, I look forward to seeing you and the kids again soon, don't let them grow up too much before then :)
