My Christmas Angel

I just love the wonder on awe on her face--I think I'm going to take about 200 photos like this before January :)

Belly Shots!

Love these guys! And I simply cannot wait till this little girl makes her grand (and already overdue!) arrival so we can play photos again!  Kristen and George are expecting their first little girl...umm...two days ago.  (Clearly this post is a little past due as well...oops!)  George just made it home from a long deployment where he missed most of Kristen's pregnancy, so glad he is here for the birth! These photos were taken barely 2 days after he came home, I really wasn't sure she would still be pregnant for our appointment...and now two weeks later...still pregnant.  Sorry Kristen!  I hope these photos will help you to remember the joy of pregnancy...especially right now when you are probably wishing it away... ;)

Congratulations you guys!  So happy for you and I cannot wait to meet her!  Thank you for humoring me and letting me practice on you, much appreciated.

Sadie and Jason's Family Shoot at the Ranch House

Sadie found me through a mutual friend--and I'm so glad she did!  What a great family!  The kids were so cooperative we knocked out the whole session in less than 40 minutes--now part of that may have been due to the freezing cold weather we were having that day...but still, we had a good time!  I've never seen 3 kids (including a 2 year old!) look and smile at the camera the first time I asked-- every time, it was amazing!  I think instead of Sadie and Jason paying me for photography services, I should be paying them for parenting lessons!  ;)

 

This pose was one of the kid's ideas!  It turned out great!  Looking forward to seeing these guys in the future :)

 Thanks again!

Welcom Home Jace!

Homecomings are one of the most thrilling moments in military life. There is just nothing that compares to it.  I was able to capture Jason, Jess, and Landon's first moments back together again and it was just that--thrilling!  The anticipation and excitement is completely contagious :)  Thanks for sharing your moment with me.   

 Can you see the JOY in these faces! oh the aniticipation!  THRILLING!

 I don't think you need to say a whole lot about this--the photos say it all!  How happy they are to be together again, congrats you guys!

Photos for Daddy!

Analisa and her beauties wanted to send some fun photos to daddy who has been deployed for about two months.  So we spent a little over an hour chasing around some eyes and smiles and...SUCCESS!  I think we got some great ones :)  I'm fairly certain it is going to brighten his holiday spirits!

 Can you believe how stinkin cute these kids are!?

 Love the leg hugs Hannah!

 Ham it up Jackson!

 Mommy kisses are the best! 

This is Analisa's 5th deployment (gasp and applause appropriately given!) and look at how unbelievable beautiful and together she is!  Totally impressed lady!

Best part about this...I get to shoot their homecoming in April!  Can't wait! As I'm sure they can't ;)
