The “Y” family…so glad we got together this morning! The lighting was beautiful, the kiddos were happy and the family just looked great! Who could ask for more? Special thanks to mom and dad for their extraordinary efforts to get these gorgeous smiles – well worth it!!

The “Z” family…By far one of the happiest little girls I have ever met.  She smiled the entire time!

The “V” family…I had a lot of fun with this sweet family. Dad had a few funny tricks up his sleeve to get the kiddos laughing!

It’s hard to believe she’s already two!  Here’s a little flashback to Lilly’s newborn session…and look at how grown up she looks now! 

Let me just say that it should not be hot and muggy at 10 o’clock in the morning!  You’d never know it by looking at the photos though!  The “H” family graciously followed me all over Elmwood. The boys were great and gave me lots of wonderful smiles. Here is a sneak peek…

Can you say Indian Summer? I am stunned by this warm weather lately! Who knew it would last?? Well, I’m definitely thankful for these warm November days as it has allowed me to get all of these wonderful outdoor sessions! Meet the “N” family…little Vivian & Graham kept me hopping that’s for sure. They were full of energy and ready for fun! Dad was on “funny-face” patrol and who knew the word “peanut” was so funny?

It was the most beautiful day at the park today! The colors were stunning, the sun was shining and it was warm! Throw in the most beautiful family and you have all the makings for the perfect photo session. Here’s a little sneak peek of the “B” family…

Brrrrrrr! What a chilly day at the park! Alyssa was such a trooper – she braved the shivering cold and gave me the cutest smiles! She even entertained us with a few songs

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I first photographed little Avery! (She is the newborn featured at the top of my blog page). We had fun walking through the park on what may be the last warm day of the year. At first, she was so affraid of my camera – she would literally scream at it! She finally warmed up and gave me lots of smiles. Here’s a little sneak peek…

Love this serious look – just adorable!

I can’t believe how much they have grown this past year! With all of my client sessions stacking up, I thought I had better start taking my Christmas photos while I had the chance. Scott and I took the boys downtown for a quick mini shoot. Once the leaves turn, we’ll do a mini at Elmwood too. Here’s a little sampling of downtown…
