Two CUTIE-PATOOTIES... & one extra glimpse!!

I did mini-sessions with both of these cuties recently... aren't they darling?!? {K} came to see me last week & {N} earlier today!! Here's a little preview:

I couldn't help adding one more photo of the {W} Family Kids as well!!!

{W} Family Kiddos!!

This was a fun shoot!! I recently moved my studio (from downstairs to upstairs in my home!) & this was my first studio shoot since moving things around!! It was great!! These kids were perhaps the EASIEST kids to photograph . . . EVER!!! They were awesome!! Aren't they the cutest kids ever, too!!!  Here is a preview:

{G} Boys!!

These are the very handsome {G} Boys!!  I did a mini-session with them & {J} made me laugh & smile!  He is a silly guy!!! {S} is the same age as my daughter & is as handsome as ever!!  Here is a preview from their session:

{B} Family Kids!!

I did a mini-session with the {B} Family kiddos earlier this week!  They were a lot of fun!  Too bad baby brother would have NOTHING to do with me... :( 

Here is a preview:

Aren't {E}'s eyes GORGEOUS?!?  WOW!!!

{J} Family!!!

I must admit, this could be my favorite shoot of all time!  (If not, it's definitely VERY near the top!!)  This family was such a riot!!  Big Brother {P} was just about to leave on his mission {He left 2 days after we took these!} & it's clear they will miss him SO MUCH!!  He was constantly making everyone laugh by whispering jokes, tickling them or giving them funny looks!!  I loved watching them interact as a family!  Thanks {J} Family for a GREAT NIGHT!!!

I LOVE this first one!!!  Mostly, because it was one of those great, spontaneous moments!!  After a group shot somebody said, "Hey, everybody move your heads in close." (or something like that!) & this is the result!  I love it!!! 

Here's a few more favorites:

My beautiful family!!

I was talking to a friend of mine about big family photos this morning.  I told her she should go to my blog & see the photo I did of MY family... then I got on my blog & tried to find it to send her the link.  I couldn't find it!  Apparently I didn't ever post it, which I can NOT BELIEVE!!!  I'm really proud of this photo!!  It was a LOT of work & is definitely a work of "Photoshop Art," but I love it!!!  Here is my photo of my BEAUTIFUL family!!!

{O} Family Kiddos!!

Here is a little preview for the {O} Family!! I did a photo-shoot with these sweet kiddos last week!! I had a blast with them!

PS...Did you recognize cutie baby {M} from a couple of posts ago?!? He's growing fast!!

And since I know their Mama likes black & white I thought I'd include this one, too:

I ♥ Faces Photography Challenge

I have always loved checking out the entries at the "I Heart Faces" website!!  Tonight I decided to get brave & enter one of my own photos.  It'll be good for me to jump out of my comfort zone, right?!?

This week's challenge is "Celebrating Teens."  I knew instantly which photo I wanted to enter!!

I loved EVERYTHING about this girl the instant I met her... from her AMAZING green eyes to her purple tinted hair & SASSY attitude!!  She was gorgeous!!  She made my job easy peasy!!  Here is my entry:

Go check out I Heart Faces this week to see more gorgeous teens!!

Little Baby {M}!!

Oh how I LOVE darling, little newborns so fresh from heaven!!!  They bring a sweetness with them that I can't get enough of!  This little guy was so much fun . . . & stinkin' cute!!  I love his giant, dark eyes!!  I had a great time visiting with his Mom, too!  Here's a sneak peek!!

I love how he is wrinkling his little forehead in this one!! My kids used to do the same thing!!  Too cute!

My AMAZING Parents!!!

A few weeks ago I attended my Grandfather's funeral. It was a tough day, but it was so wonderful to be surrounded by my family. I took this photo of my parents at the cemetery. I love it! I have AMAZING parents!!!

Lovely Ladies!!!

These LOVELY LADIES are my Husband's Aunt, Grandma & Mom!! They are SOO beautiful!!! I am so lucky to call them family!! ;D This photo was taken several months ago, but only recently edited, so I thought I would share it.

{P}'s Missionary Photo

{P} is getting ready to turn in his mission papers! He asked me to take a photo to turn in with his papers & I was honored!!! He's going to be a great missionary!! Good Luck, {P}!

Sweet {E}!!

I have had SO much fun editing {E}'s photos today!! It's been a little while since I've done a photo shoot & it was great doing this mini-shoot!! I had such a fun time with {E} & her Mom! They wanted a few photos to give them another option to the classic "school photos".   I'm not a big fan of school photos!  We did a quick (10 minute) session & were able to get some darling shots!! Isn't she a cutie?!?  Here are a few of my favorites:

One more for {J}!!

I just couldn't resist posting this one of sweet baby {J}! Isn't she a beautiful little girl?!? Take a second to enlarge it-- she has the most amazing eyes!!

** Note: I did enhance her eyes in this photo, but her eyes were amazing to begin with, too!!

A quick preview for baby {J}!!

This little sweetie was so fun to photograph!! Her Mom & Aunt were QUICK at moving her around & changing her clothes, in fact I'm quite sure it was the fastest photo shoot EVER!! (OK, maybe not EVER!) But it was really great!! She is just darling!! {J}'s Mom made her this awesome blanket & she just had to give it a quick SNUGGLE-- it was SO CUTE!!

Here's just a little preview!

My great friends... the {B} Family!!

This family lives 2 houses down from me . . . that is until next week. :( They are moving! I am SOO sad!!! I know they will be greatly missed. Don't they have a BEAUTIFUL family?!? I WILL MISS YOU GUYS!!!

I couldn't decide which one I liked best: "mocha" or "vintage" so I decided to post both!
