I was working on a different session this morning and realized I never blogged about this family.  Well, it was my last official Christmas session of the year and was a lot of fun even if we were battling some HARSH sunlight the whole time.  The {R} family makes me smile!   I just can’t help it.  The boys were cracking me up and I just adore their mom.  Thank {T} for spending part of our day with me!!

Ms {E} has got to be one of the cutest babies every!!  She is adorable!  She was all smiles through our whole session.  We were able to get a few pictures of the whole family and then spent some time inside capturing Ms {E}’s 3 month photos.  Here is her Sneak Peek – Isn’t she a doll!!

I love cake smashes, little girl and pink….so much fun!!!  {K} wanted to eat her cake instead of mess it up….but with a little push from mom she dived in.  Big sis {E} didn’t want much to do with the camera, but we managed to pull some smiles out of her (with a little help from bubbles).  Haha.  I had a blast.  Thank you {T} for introducing me to your family!!  Here is your Sneak Peek.

The delicious and gorgeous cake was made by Cakes By Ruth.

Isn’t this family amazing! Big sister and two adorable little boys. Just from the couple of hours that I spent with them I could tell that {T} is GREAT big sister…and the boys were just precious!! Thank you {Z} family for spending part of your day with me. I just wish you guys weren’t moving so I could see these handsome little guys grow up! I cannot wait to dive in and get to editing this full session, but for now these few teasers will have to do. Hehe. Here is your Sneak Peek mom..

I had a GREAT time with the {M} family last weekend!  The kiddos are just adorable.  Watching Ms {O} run around made me realize that my little girl is going to be running in no time as well!  We battled the sun (thanks Dad for your help – you are hired as my assistant if you want a job), climbed trees, played on (and with) the rocks and watch the ducks.  I’d say it was a successful day!!  Here are a few photos from our session and your Sneak Peek Mom!

The {G} family is so much fun!  The kids are wonderful and I have NO idea how Mom keeps things under control with 4 young kids at home.  She is awesome!  We have known this family for a long time and it has been really neat to see their family grow.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for them next!  Thanks for letting me spend my day with you guys!!!  Here is the sneak peek from your family session.

I met part of the {V} family several years ago when our kids played t-ball together and had the pleasure of meeting their extended family this past week.  I had no idea what I was getting into (although I must say the Grandfather warned me – haha).  They were ALL boys!!!  The poor moms are so outnumbered.  But, despite being boys they did a GREAT job with their photos and I truly enjoyed spending my day with them.  Thanks guys for braving the HOT AZ SUN and spending part of your afternoon with me!  Here is your sneak peek.

I had a blast with the {A} family last weekend!  They were full of energy and ready for their session!  Little {E} was adorable. She has mastered walking so it took all of us to keep her still, but we did it.  Haha.  Mr {T} is ALL boy and was such a ham for the camera.  And Miss {M} was just beautiful and did an awesome job!  Thanks guys for spending part of your morning with me.  It was so nice to meet your wonderful family!  Here is your sneak peek.

The {S} family is just so sweet.  They have an adorable new baby girl and are just so in love with her!  I know I said it when I posted her newborn photos, but I am so excited to watch Baby {A} grow into a toddler over the next year!  So, here are a couple of photos from their family session this weekend.

In my continued attempt to share more about myself with all of you, here are some recent photos of my family.  I have always done my own photos (my tripod and remote clicker are my best friends), but after this year I may start hiring it out.  It is getting increasingly difficult to direct while not having the camera in my hand.  As the kids are moving around more I really need someone else holding the camera, but that will be a decision for a different day.  Haha.  For now, here are some photos of my family that were taken Easter Sunday.

I just LOVE the {H} family!!  I have had the pleasure of photographing them a few times over the past year and they are always such a pleasure to work with….and they have the most adorable kids!  We took some Easter family photos for them this weekend, and here are the first few that I picked out to edit.  I hope you love them as much as I do Mom!!

I just love the {M} family.  They are so sweet and the kids are just adorable.  I am so happy that they asked me to do their Christmas photos again this year.  One of my favorite things is to see how the kids grow from one year to the next.  Here is their session from last year.  And, here are a few photos from this year’s session.  Enjoy!!

I was able to capture some images for the {G} family the other day.  Ms. {C} is expecting twins in just another week or so.  Isn’t she beautiful!!  Her kids are just adorable and I cannot wait to meet the new little ones later this month.  Here are the first few that I edited from their family/maternity session.  Enjoy.

This week’s photo challenge at I Heart Faces is “Play”.  The first photo I thought of when I saw this week’s theme was one from a session I did with the {P} family.  They are a great family that we have known for a couple of years.  This is a photo of the kiddos playing around in between shots.  They had a hard time throughout the whole session because all they wanted to do was play (just like most kids) — so they had a great time when we gave them some “breaks” and let them just PLAY!  I hope this photo brings a smile to your face the same way it does to mine.

I had a lot of fun with the {M} family this weekend in Surprise!!  We met the {M} family when {B} was in school with our oldest son and they were on a T-ball team together following that.  They became friends very quickly and still love to get together and play any chance they get (although we don’t make it happen as often as we would like to).  I did photos of little {E} when she was 4 months old (here).  I can’t believe she is already a year and half!!  Time goes by so quickly.  Anyway….enough of my rambling….on to their sneak peak.  These are just the first ones I decided to edit.   Enjoy!

I had a great time this weekend with Mr. {E}.  He was such a bundle of energy and so much fun.  We were instant friends.   We had a great time, just playing in his backyard and taking a walk to a nearby grassy area.  It was VERY nice to meet you little man!!  Here are a few photos from our session.

I had SO much fun with the {C} family. Little {E} and {L} are just so adorable!! And big brother {M} is so much like my boys. It was such a pleasure to spend some time with them. The twins were not interested in taking any photos together (so we weren’t able to use our cute matching hats from CrazySocksCrochet)…we had {L} kicking {E} in the face and {E} trying to eat {L}’s ear…it was really cute though!! But, we were able to get them sleeping at different times and catch some individual photos of them (and we did sneak about 2 photos of them together) as well as some family shots and some photos of Big Brother {M}. Thank you {C} family for letting me spend part of my night with you. Your family is beautiful!! Here is your sneak peak. I can’t wait to edit the rest of the photos and get them to you Mom!!

Introducing Baby {E}

Introducing Baby {L}!
{L} was the sleeper and let us get a lot of shots of him!
(I think I have them right Mom — let me know if I mixed the boys up any)

I had so much fun with the {W} family this weekend!  We have been trying to get this session done for a couple of months now and something out of our control always came up that made it impossible (bad weather, kids sick, husbands TDY, etc).  But, I am so glad that we were able to battle the wind and get it done this week.  They were so much fun and the kids were just full of energy and willing to do anything!  Here is your sneak peak guys.
