    the gerr family

    These parents make the most unbelievably beautiful, chunky, wide eyed babies and their newest is definitely no exception! Had a great time photographing them again this year and meeting their new son!

    She’s still so little but makes a great big sister! Her eyes are just as big and sparkly as ever!! He has the best expressions! Favorite! The family is off to the UK for the holidays (Dad’s homeland). Hope you have a wonderful trip and hope you enjoy your pictures!!

    the sylv family

    My 3rd (or possibly 4th- we all lost count!) photographing this family of boys. And now, there are 4 boys instead of 3. Very exciting, busy stuff!! Mom told me the 3rd can be really difficult but he must’ve been having a great day cause he was nothing but smiles and cooperation. A little candy bribe almost always does the trick! And the other boys- all fun and laughs!

    I mean really. Look at that angellic face. How could he be trouble?! Thanks to all of you for a great shoot!!

    the kell family & baby

    My friend Lois just recently added her 4th beautiful child to her family and I was so happy she asked me to come and photograph him. We had planned a delivery room shoot and it was all cleared and set with the doctor and the hospital, but a week before her delivery a film crew was in the hospital filming a delivery where something went awry and photographers were no longer welcome. We were both SO bummed, but at least I still got to meet him when he was less than 2 weeks old, in all his toasty new deliciousness.

    Don’t know why I love this one, but I do. He liked my Justin Beiber story, but is just like his dad & grandpa and does NOT like the camera. But it sure does like him!His belly button fell off moments after this shot. Eye contact like this from a less than 2 week old? Yes, please.What a beauty!Don’t you love his new glasses?It was more than a little chilly out, but they were all brave!Nighty night.

    the simm family

    I’ve photographed this bunch quite a few times in the last year or so and I was really happy to be asked back again this year. Always a challenge with 4 small kids and a dog, but I think we got some shots that will definitely be in contention for a holiday card.

    Mom rushed back from Florida for the shoot (how dedicated is she?) and just as I was finishing up the shoot, Dad’s car to the airport arrived for his business trip. Talk about a busy bunch!

    Uh huh. Tell me how you really feel about the shoot.We worked SO hard to get this shot. He’s just gerberific!!The anatomy of a giggle.

    the take family

    Hi, my name is Maria but you can also call me Ben. The little girl in this family insisted that my name was either Maria or Ben. Why? No idea. But if you let me take your picture you can call me whatever you want. Her brother on the other hand, didn’t want to call me anything. He just wanted me to leave. I think this may have been one of the only sessions where I couldn’t get a family shot or even a shot of all of the kids together. Or hardly any pictures of him at all.  But they are little kids, and that’s what sometimes happens.

    The new baby however, let me take as many pictures as I wanted. And didn’t call me anything.

    This was the closest thing to a smile I got after the first 5 minutes of being there. The lighting was bad, but I had to take it and fast!He was pretty happy on his bike. For a little while.  Thanks to all of you for my new names and baby fix! I hope you are happy with the shots we did get!
