Jessica and Adam

I just love Jessica!  We were great buds growing up so it was great to see her again and meet her fun husband!  She now has a sweet little bun in the oven and they are waiting to find out the sex of the baby until birth.  How exciting!  I haven't shot a couple in awhile, and holy cow, I forgot how easy it is to shoot grown-ups.  No chasing around. :)

In all honesty, I feel like my photography style is a little bit more modern than I portray in my family shoots because I feel like a lot of my clients have a more traditional style (not a bad thing) and maybe would think things like, "what, she cut our heads off in the picture?"  Well, there was no holding back with this shoot because I knew they had the personality for the kind of photography that I love!  Enjoy!

Boy or girl baby Phelps?  

The pink balloon won the race.  Does that mean a baby girl is on the way?  They think it is a boy.  I can't wait to find out the sex in February.  

I had so much fun!  Thanks Jessica and Adam!  

Webb Kids

It was fun to see Mary-Helen's kids!  She was my older sister's best friend growing up.  :)

20 minute sessions with kids is the way to go!  Fast and easy and still lots of great shots.  The kids have a blast and don't even know I am taking their pictures!

Westbrook fam

It was so great seeing some old college friends!  It had been three and a half years since I had seen Aria and Sam... too long!  They are the sweetest couple and have the most beautiful daughter!  I loved photographing them and we had so much FUN.

Leao Family

This was my third time photographing the Leao family.  They are the most photogenic family.  You can see their previous shoots here and here.  I mean really, they don't take a bad picture!  This was the last shoot of my mini sessions.  

Cain Family

I have photographed this family three times and this was my favorite shoot!  The kids are so fun and full of personality.

Kefford boys

The best part about being a photographer is seeing the kids as they grow up!  This was my third time photographing these kiddos.  They have gorgeous eyes!  See ya in the spring Keffords. :)  

The Penrod Family

The love this family has for each other is contagious.  They just had so much fun together during this shoot and I loved watching them interact with one another.  The siblings (all SEVEN of them) were so loving towards each other and it really touched me.  Thanks for letting me photograph you guys Penrod family.  By the way, Jen the mama was my awesome doula for the birth of Addy.  :)  

The boys vs. the girls.  

Brotherly love.   

There is a whole series of pictures of them playing with each other that I love.  

I then told the kids to come and hug their parents.

Dad got tackled and thrown a few feet to the ground.  I screamed!  They laughed.  It was a fun moment.
