Love is in the air

I have been waiting for this day since before these two were dating. I have longed for a family member (sister, brother, it doesn't matter) to get engaged so I could really have some fun with an engagement shoot. Yesterday I got my wish. We spent two and a half hours in four different locations with three clothing changes to walk away with 440 pictures. The lighting was perfect, the couple was beautiful, the weather was a tad warm, but we had fun. Usually, I can easily pick my favorite 3 or 4 pictures to include on my blog. This time I could only get down to 34. 34! This post may turn into a series. :-) Here are 3 to get started.

Congratulations Ashley and Michael! I am so excited for you two!

Hannah

Little Hannah was quite the smiler. Even awake she gave us a few little grins! I hope my next child is as happy at this age!

Look who are turning one!

Remember these guys? Look how big they are! More pictures coming soon!

Hello World!

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted anything here! I won't bore you with the details of what I've been doing the past few months instead of updating my blog, but hopefully these pictures will make up for the neglect.

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.
