S Family Portraits

 Ok, so I just love this family and it was so fun taking their portraits!

 Big Sister was not always the most smiley.

 But she is totally sweet!

 These two girls are just so adorable!!!

 Love the feet!

 I love kissy pictures!

 This is the same spot I took the photo of my son last week.  It is perfect.

 This little girl is so smiley!  I love it!

 I loved the way this one turned out!

 This one you just feel like you are looking in on an intimate family moment.  I love it!

 I love how this came out, too!  Not perfect, but everyone is happy and the composition works!

 Lollipop time!

 That bow is just amazing on her.  Brought out her eyes in this shot!

 I love Mom's scarf!  It just makes the whole composition!  This is my favorite family shot despite little Sister's hands in the mouth!

 I love tree shots!

Being silly is awesome!  Don't forget to be silly when you have a photo session done!  Silliness brings out natural smiles!  I need to remember that next time I get all tense about trying to get a preschooler and an infant to both pay attention and smile!   This session was so much fun!

C Christmas Shoot #2

 Fall colors were at their peak today.

 C was not wanting to cooperate much, but we still got some good ones.

 Much happier in the indoor shoot attempt.  It was raining out.

 My favorite!

Christmas Photo Shoot #1

For those of you who aren't aware, this is my child.  He actually cooperated for these.  I think it was because I have finally calmed down and tried to make it fun for him instead of being like "Mom, seriously, stop it".  Sticking out his tongue was a great icebreaker!

M Family

 I had the pleasure of photographing this great looking family this weekend.  I love these photos!

 Fall colors were really nice contrasting their Earth tones.

 Dad and Mom better lock these two up.  I think they are contemplating it in this shot.

 Sisters!  I got one of them looking mean, too:).  It was very silly!

 On a whim I told them this may be a good shot.  It is one of my very favs from this set.

 One of my other favorites!

 These collages were so incredibly fun to make!

I haven't taken a whole lot of photos of sibling sets so I really enjoyed this collage.  How special!  I wish I had something like this of me and my brother, but of course, the technology wasn't around back then.

This was my first official family shoot and I am very happy with the results.  I did another family shoot about a year ago and I had no idea how to pose them.  I love these, though, so I guess I have come a long way in a year!!
