This family reminded me of my own...

What a fun family!  Grandparents to grandkids they were all full of life and love for one another!  These kids are lucky to have these grandparents that obviously love them so much and I bet are amazing grandparents.  There is something so special about grandparents!  I dont know what it is exactly but it is something...actually it is EVERYTHING!!!  Matter of a fact, I want a family portrait of my family - grandparents to grandchildren - next time I am home!  A must do.  These children were adorable!  So excited and happy until the wind picked up and the temps dropped.  That is when we began to struggle.  All of us.  It was some seriosly cold wind.  Oh how I long for spring...and I hope it last for a while.  So, here is a sneak peek of this beautiful family.  Thank you all for your patience and kindness!  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Cutie Pie!

This little man was a ham!!!  He actually had me in tears laughing at him!  Such a cutie!  I know he brings lots of joy to his family!  Happy 1st Birthday Handsome!  I can not wait to see you again!!! We can safely say, he SMASHED his cake!

Class of 2011 - Sandy

This Senior was fun too!  She was willing to do what I told her but just does not know how beautiful she is!  The camera loves her, and the wind did too!  ;)  But we worked it out!  Congratulations Sandy!  Good luck with your nursing degree! Enjoy your last months of being a Senior because life is changing fast!  Oh and by the way, you are simply gorgeous!

Class of 2011 - Bryan

I was so nervous about photographing this guy.  Girls are easy but guys, especially this age...there seems to be not as many posing ideas but let me tell you I had NOTHING to worry about.  This guy, ROCKED my camera!  I just had to shoot.  He was not shy at all.  Between his attitude, his eyes and a beautiful location, I was on photographer heaven.  Love clients like this.  Bryan, Congrats on Graduation!  (well, soon.)  Enjoy these last few days of high school.  They are afterall some of the best days of our lives.

A Little Baby Bump

Beautiful couple.  Beautiful Bump.  I am sure, beautiful baby....
What a pleasure to photograph this couple.  They were troopers in the freezing cold.  They had ideas.  They were fun!  They look good in front of the camera.  They picked a beautiful location.  What more can you ask for?  Oh wait, he is a photographer!!! Icing on the cake!  Can not wait to work with them in the future...

Simply Darling

My third time photographing these adorable children!  I am so lucky!  It was freezing cold and windy so we ran in and out to keep the kids warm and happy!  There were perfect!  I have never ever had a 2 year old follow directions like this little guy!  I mean really...what 2 year old does what you tell him?  This one does... 
Dad is deployed and I did not mention Dad as I did not want any sad faces but when I asked this darling 4 year old to say Mommy, Candy, Money, etc... She got all excited and said Daddy and then told me all about how her Daddy will be home for Christmas!  The joy in her voice, her expressions and her words would have melted her Daddy's heart!  That will be her best Christmas gift for sure!  Makes you stop and realize what matters most, not just to us adults but to the children too.  My fingers and nose was cold but my heart was very warm.  Mom, you are doing a great job!

beautiful and blue

These kids have the most amazing eyes!  You know when you go South and the water turns crystal blue?  Yes I mean WAY south like to the Bahamas??  And it is just so breathtakingly beautiful?  Their eyes are the same way!  They are so crystal blue that they are hard not to look at!  And, they got it honest!  This is one beautiful blue eyed family and hands down one of my favorites to photograph!
