Family

I’ve had to wait months to show off some of these images. For my Dad’s birthday we gathered up all the grandkids for some pictures. It didn’t take long to get some good shots and it was so much fun to see all the kids personalities come through in the pictures. Family is fantastic… I am a very lucky and very blessed by my family. Being able to snap some pictures of them was such a privilege. Enjoy!

Big Brother

My son is a terrific big brother. He is a typical rambunctious boy who loves to run, wrestle, get dirty, etc. But, when it comes to his little sister his is completely gentle, kind, and a sweetheart. Always asking if she’s okay, picking up her socks when they fall off, giving her kisses and hugs constantly. For me this image is a perfect example of how he loves her. I can only begin to imagine what type of protector he is going to be as he grows up.

Koons Family // Lincoln Park

It is always fantastic to have the privilege to take photos for the same family more than once. Seeing how children grow, and being able to watch the family grow together and more in love with each other is a wonderful treat. My husband and I are lucky to call this family friends. I give most of the credit for that to my husband who has been friends with Dustin since High School. It was a slightly chilly evening for the pictures but we still had a great time. Trying to get their two year old to glance at me was a challenge; but the little girl was ready any time the camera lens pointed her direction. But I was very much reminded of my home life – a never stop moving, must keep exploring 2 year old and a mellow, melt your heart adorable little girl. Some of these photos are my most favorite that I have taken. Something about them just makes me happy and warm and fuzzy on the inside. The first three pictures posted was taken in a sequence. I love it – Daddy and his little girl.

Thanks for letting me share an evening with you guys – the pleasure was all mine! Enjoy!

Schulte Family // Magnolia

It is always fun to see how much kids have grown since the last time I’ve taken their pictures. I think taking family pictures is a great way to mark the passing of time – I just feel lucky that I’ve been able to take their photos twice now. These kids have gotten even more adorable over the past year – which I didn’t think was possible. I had a great time at Discovery Park – thanks for taking the time. Hopefully we can do it again next year! Enjoy!

Neighbors

I’ve got great neighbors. My husband and I were very lucky to move into our home and be surrounded by fantastic people. Meet the Weglin Family – they are one of our fantastic neighbors. A little over a week ago we all went down to the water and enjoyed a lovely evening taking pictures. It wasn’t raining, not too windy, and it was great when the sun would peek out from the behind the clouds occasionally. I had a great time and I hope you enjoy the images. :) I like the  fuzziness of this first image. Probably because as I grow older I am learning that life is fuzzy and imperfect but fantastic at the same time. It just makes me feel happy.
