Happy New Year! Though December is gone, today is the eighth day or Christmas, so I’m sharing some Holiday Family Fun photos! I always have such a great time photographing this family! This time, we met in their backyard. Joy, whose name is quite fitting for this occasion, had the idea of incorporating the family fort into the pictures, which I thought was an awesome idea! Here are the festive photos!
I got to take pictures of yet another awesome family at Rochelle Park. This family is great, and I just love their purple color scheme! The kiddos were the best – sweet Adam, sassy Siena and cutie pie extraordinaire, Emma. Anna and Joe are such a cool couple, and have so much love for their children. Here are my favorite pictures of this cute bunch!
I got to take pictures of this cute bunch last week. Kate, Ray and Ray-mo are awaiting the arrival of baby Gia, and with Christmas around the corner, it was a great time for some family/maternity pictures! Kate and Ray are such a cute couple, and Ray-mo is quite a rambunctious three years old! Also, I love the blue and gray color scheme they picked for their outfits. Is this a sweet family, or what?
I just loved photographing this adorable family at Centennial Park. The autumn colors are just glorious this time of year! The four children in this family are such cuties! All of them are five years and under, so this was definitely a lively and fun bunch! I leave you with some of my favorite photos from the day below!
These guys are just the best! Judiann, James and Damian are good friends of ours and I had such a good time taking these photos of them. Damian is so stinkin’ cute. I just love his knowing stares with just a hint of a smile. He and my little girl, Ria, are good friends. The day they met, Damian repeatedly hugged Ria while she treated him like a fly she was trying to shoo away, so, yeah, good friends. Judiann is kind and sweet. James is clever and hilarious. Both are kind of crazy(in a good way) and so much fun! They both went to a great books college in Wyoming (you’ll never guess which one) that kicks off with a three week backpacking trip (As a weak-sauce Montanan, I am impressed!) Here are some of my favorites of this awesome family!
I had the opportunity of photographing a lovely family last weekend. Rebecca and Joe have five gorgeous daughters and a handsome young son. I was reminded a lot of my own family, since the first five children are also all girls. This classy group was perfectly complimented by their elegant black and white attire and the beautiful backdrop of Lakeside Park in all of it’s autumnal glory. Gotta love this time of year!
It was so awesome to meet up with Christina, Patrick and Journey one year later and see how this family has grown! Not only is Journey looking like such a little girl now, but Christina is expecting again! Journey is such a cutie pie. I recognized the same mischievous and sweet attitude that I experienced last time I met up with her and her parents, but now she is no longer a baby! She has learned so many words, many of which were Mandarin! I was impressed! Christina and Patrick, you have an awesome little girl there. I can’t wait to meet the next baby!
I met this wonderful family at their home last weekend. This is a musical group–every child has learned either piano or violin. Max is graduating high school this year so his mom, Zoe, asked for some special pictures of him and his littlest brother, Damian. These two blue-eyed brothers have always had a special connection, and they melted my heart with their sweetness! Zoe told me that Max will often help Damian play piano, so of course we had to get some shots of that! I had mom jump in for a few shots as well, and I love the one of the three of them below!
This is baby Samuel, his beautiful mother, Mercedes, his loving father, Stephen, and his sweet older sister, Josie. Taking pictures of this sweet little boy and his family left me with a melted, puddle heart and an intense case of baby fever! Here are some of my favorite of this little guy!
Andrew and Megan and their six wonderful children are very near and dear to me. I did their family photos one year ago at the same park, and it has been so cool to compare the pictures and see not only how much I have grown as a photographer, but how much these kids have grown! In fact, looking at these pictures, I don’t think “kids” is the right word to use for the older siblings! Meanwhile, Andrew and Megan don’t look a day older (fountain of youth, anybody?) I love these guys to pieces. It was hard to pick a few favorites, but here they are. As usual, I love to hear your thoughts!
