I'm not joking when I say it was 20 degrees when we went to take pictures of this gorgeous girl! What a tough girl - no complaints at all!
I even made her go with me inside some scary houses! No complaints from her when the floor was collapsing under us - what a great girl!
Congratulations on graduating this year! The rest of your pics should be up sometime today!
I think I'm a spaz. Seriously. I probably need to seek counseling. When it's REALLY cold outside - it gets even worse, and for that, I apologize. It was really cold for this session, but Brooke and Jace played it off fabulously! Brooke was laughing her head off in more than half of the pics!
But . . . . we did get quite a few "so in love" moments, too!
I didn't have them sign any waivers, but probably should have. If there's a cool bike around, and I can get permission, you will be riding it. So, Brooke closed her eyes and smiled for me! Thanks, Brooke! And, Jace, I'm impressed - that was an ENORMOUS bike!
Thanks so much for letting me take your pictures! The rest should be ready for you before Thanksgiving.
Our scared, lost, whining bear of a puppy has been found! He actually crossed a river! It was a horrible day and I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nuts yelling his name like crazy and running all over the place, but I'm just happy our family missing anyone now! I don't think he'll ever see this, but a HUGE thanks goes to Jeff Francis for finding my dog! I feel bad that he almost knocked you over, wouldn't get in your ranger bed, and almost tore your hand off running home! You and your family are so wonderful and I couldn't ask for better neighbors!

We've lost our dog, and although this may be a little premature, he's been gone for almost 6 hours! I have looked everywhere, and I'm putting up signs, but I think that maybe like 5 people see this blog that live in my city -- so, if that's you, will you please keep an eye out for him? He's kind of scary-looking at first, but really a sweet dog. He's also pretty clumsy - so don't be worried about him having rabies or anything - he just falls down stairs a lot! Let me know if you see him! Thanks so much!
I was just amazed! One minute the weather was warm-ish and the next thing I know, it dropped like 30 degrees! These two little boys were shivering -- I felt so bad and I tried my best to get them in the sun, but to my astonishment, they smiled for me like their purple-icicle fingers and chattering teeth weren't even relevant! 
This is what cute little, "K" did when we were playing "peek-a-boo!" He was so funny!
Boys and their trucks -- a winning combination!
It was quite a kiss! I just can't get enough of 3-year-old kisses these days!
Okay, so I have a million different options for cards, but these are my new favorites. They're so great because you can create double-sided and tri-fold cards since they all coordinate! They come printed on pearl paper as a 5x5. You can customize how many you put together and what you want them to say. They are sold in sets of 25 and come with envelopes. Pricing for these starts at $2 per card.
Please email me if you have any questions! mckenziehansenphotography@yahoo.com
Please try to get me your order by Thanksgiving so I can get you the cards quickly!
So, this was one of my very best friends from high school and I was so excited to get to see her again and take pictures for them!!! 
The kids all behaved so perfectly! I was very impressed! I really don't think I heard a single complaint out of any of them even when they were waiting for their turns!
Look how much fun Grandma and Grandpa are!
They let their balloons go -- it was so fun!
Little boys can play with old stroller, too - don't judge, my little Jake loves this stroller, also!
This tiny peanut sat up like a champ!!
Little Miss Gorgeous was so helpful for her pcitures! I asked her to kiss her little brother, and she really laid one on him!
Then I asked her to show me her "supermodel" pose, and she hit it right on the mark!
I took pictures of the two oldest kids in this group like 8 years ago when I was just starting out, and there was this one picture of them that I still have in my "favorite pictures ever taken" category! I can't believe how fast the years are flying by!
Thanks for letting me take your pictures! It was so great to see you!
