Grandkids

We had all the grandkids on my husband's side get together for pictures yesterday. Grandma made all the girls matching skirts/dresses. There are more to come, but these are some of my favorites!

For Naoma

We braved the cold this week for some family pictures with my cousin, Naoma. Naoma is also a photographer and I have to admit, it's a bit intimidating taking pictures of all these photographers! Good thing her family is so handsome/gorgeous... it made my job easy!

Photographing photographers

A few months ago my photographer friends took our family pictures. This weekend I was able to return the favor. If you ask me, I think I got the better end of the deal. :-) You can see their work here.

Baby Ben

"Sweet" only begins to describe this little guy. Such a calm temperament, and such inquisitive expressions. He made my job easy. Welcome to the world, Ben.

Slow down

I'm not gonna lie... things are a little slow right now. But you know what? I'm ok with that. It's nice to have a break, and who wants to take pictures in 15 degree weather anyway?

I do get a little restless from time to time, however, and sometimes I just need a good photo to edit. Four months is often one of the most difficult ages to photograph, so I borrowed my niece for a little practice session. I think she must have some the biggest eyes I've ever seen.

Mine

Santa surprised me this year with a new camera, and I couldn't wait to try it out. I grabbed the closest models I had available (which happened to be my two rascals) and shot away. I am excited to use this on my shoots in 2010!

One of the Band

This gentleman and my husband played in a "band" together in high school. They never had a gig... never even played real instruments, but to this day they still call themselves, "The Band." Now that The Band is spread out across the country, it is always fun to reunite at Christmastime and catch up. Just looking at these pictures makes me smile because I love these guys so much.

Love these guys

This is the third time I've been able to take pictures of this family. (Remember him?) What sweet boys and kind parents! And I am impressed with their coloring... after 30 minutes in 27 degree weather, their cheeks and noses were as peachy as can be-- not red at all! Even more impressive, they were still smiling!

Boxes and bows

As I have been fine tuning my wedding packages, I knew I wanted to do something special for my brides. For my most recent wedding, I found a company that has a "boutique packaging" when you order prints through them. I decided to give it a try, and I couldn't be happier with how elegant and timeless the result is.

It is even prettier in person than in the pictures. I can't wait to ship these to the bride! Off to the post office...
