This is my Aunt Patti, her husband Dave, and my five FABULOUS cousins. I wanted to do a few pictures for her while we were visiting California. Of course, the only morning we could do it was gloomy and wet from all the rain. Seriously??!? It NEVER rains in Southern California, right? Well, it does when I’m there.
We got a few “posed” images, and then we took to the streets and captured some full-on silliness. I LOVE it! And I love them, so much!
As promised, here are several more pics from our day with Santa at the Shoppe of Vinings. It’s always a fun day, even with the intermittent terrified screams from some of the little ones. I’m not sure why we torture our children this way since, for some, it’s clearly not very fun. BUT, as we all know, the kids get older and and start to appreciate the tale of Santa and his gift-giving ways.
Enjoy!
My niece, Ally. Wonder what she’s thinking??
Kylie and Jake. I think he needs another year to adjust. ;)

I soooo enjoyed this session! We giggled and played, and rolled in the grass. At first both kids were being super shy, but they warmed up really fast, and they were my new BFF’s when I brought out the candy! :) As always, I can hardly believe my eyes when I see the kids. Watching Erin go from a teeny-tiny newborn to a walking, talking toddler is so much fun for me. Mom wanted to do more color this year for pictures – and I thought her choices were fantastic!!! And I really want to steal her mustard colored jacket from Anthroplogie!!!
As I sit here working and stalking, err I mean waiting patiently, for MY family portrait session to be posted on another photographers blog, I know how hard it is to wait after a session to see pictures. So, here is your sneak peek Suzanne! And a few extras to tide you over! Thanks for your patience!
XOXO

What a wonderful time I had with Annie, Scott, and Caroline in the park! The weather was beautiful and miss Caroline arrived with all of her usual smiles and giggles — not to mention her adorable clothes. Although I’ve been taking pictures for this family for several years now, this felt like the most relaxed session ever. We did more family shots than usual and I felt myself smiling as I looked through them. I am loving these precious moments I was able to capture between mom, dad, and Caroline. It’s also fun for me to see how much Caroline has grown since our last Fall Session — and even since our spring session when we took pictures for the cover of Our Town Magazine.
Enjoy your sneak peek! :)

The fall season is in full swing and I’m a little behind these days. Although I’m VERY busy with work, I have also been busy with life. We had a much needed family vacation followed by a weekend full of enlightenment (more on that later) — and now it’s back to the real world.
So instead of the traditional Monday Love blog post, it’s a session share for one of my long-time clients who just had their second baby boy. It’s such a special time, and I’m so grateful to be part of it. Kristin, George, and Grayson are always so fun to be around. I’ve always felt like they are old friends – even from the first time we met. Baby brother Brayden was a sweetheart too, and I can’t wait to watch him grow up. Plus, it’s good to know that between any sessions that I do, George is doing some fabulous photography work himself to catch all of the little details of daily life. ;)
Without further ado, welcome to the world Brayden!
I felt so bad because we were not able to get a sibling shot during our session. Grayson was such a good sport at the studio, playing and entertaining himself the whole time (with a little help from grandma of course). But he just wasn’t in the mood to do the picture “thing” with Brayden. I know mom was sad about it – but I promised her we got lots of great shots otherwise. Even great shots of Grayson! He’s such a cutie!
This one was a new version of the same image we did with Grayson as a newborn.
