The "P" Family

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!

The "R" Family

This family is so great because I'm thinking I talked the dad into building me a barn just like his as trade for these pictures! Yeah, . . . . . . . . . . . . . I wish! Anyway, they were so funny and so easy-going I had to remind myself that I was working! Usually, getting a large family picture done is enough to send half of the group over the edge with stress, but I sensed NONE of that with these guys! I was definitely impressed ....... good job, guys!
5 daughters!
He built the barn. No joke. With hammers and nails -- unbelievable! I really want one . . . . . for my studio!
It was getting REALLY cold by this point and these guys pulled through it with flying colors . . .
almost! This little guy was a little bit mad at me for making him stay outside in the cold. It made no sense, and he thought I was picking on him! Oh, well -- he's still got a really cute pout!







Thanks so much for being so fun and for being so patient waiting to see your pictures! They should be up tomorrow!

Almost All-Encompassing preview post!

Okay, I went out of town for only 3 days, but it is crazy how things pile up! So this is a huge post to save on time in order to give me a couple of extra minutes to finish up the rest of your pictures. They should all be ready to view in the next day or two -- so check back a little later!

This little gorgeous girl HATED having her brothers hold her - so we got a lot of suspicious looks from her this day. She just knew I was going to try to trick her into her brother's arms!

But aren't her brothers adorable? They just love her like crazy!





NEXT FAMILY:



I just love little boy's silly faces!!!! These are posted to give you a laugh at how cute little kids can be!


The leaves in their yard were just begging to be played in!

He's really a GAP model, I swear!


It was a very heavy pumpkin!

NEXT SESSION:

These two are brothers, and they are the cutest I've ever seen!


He's graduating, too! Congratulations!


This is the face I kept getting when I'd ask him to show me his "smile" -- so I learned my lesson after a few of these adorable, squinty-eyed smiles!

I've also got a ton of these two dancing on the sidewalk that I'll need to choose from to post! They were so funny!


NEXT SESSION:

Here are your special VINTAGE examples! I hope you like them!
