The Quiet One...

While driving the two older girls of this family to an activity, I asked them about the personalities of each family member.  The sister in this post was described as the quiet one.  While editing her photos I realize the truth behind that.  Most of her pictures with the horses were of quiet moments, where she seemed to be enjoying life.  I don't know if I have ever photographed anyone with such piercing blue eyes...stunning really!

This last photo was definitely inspired by this beautiful Conference weekend.  There are more sisters to come...

You know I love the feedback, good or bad...okay so I love the good more, but the bad always pushes me a little more. :)

The next couple of posts are so fun for me.  I really wanted to do another photo-shoot with my friends girls because they were so amazing to work with the first time.  Since they are moving soon, I wanted to do a shoot that would remind them of Pennsylvania.  They chose to do it at a dairy farm riding horses.  I was a little skeptical at first because these girls did not seem like the "farm girl" type.  Boy was I wrong...they marched around that farm like they owned the place!  The best part was when the oldest who was so cutely dressed completed her outfit with some irrigation boots!   Now that is what I call a REAL WOMAN! Here are some of my favorites...

4 more sisters to come and a cute little brother....

I LOVE THIS FAMILY!

Even their dog smiled on cue!

How would you like to be the father of these 5 beautiful girls!

Good thing he has this little guy to help him out!

More still to come with a little "horsing" around! ;)

EIGHT people!

1 amazing mother + 1 hard-working father

+ ONE handsome boy

+ FIVE little ladies

= ONE FABULOUS FAMILY!

This family has been one of the GREATEST blessing in our lives here in Pennsylvania. We were well acquainted with some of their relatives in California and many of the past posts are of their spunky little cousin, (i.e "One of those days") as she was one of my FAVORITE subjects!  Truly this family was a dream to work with.  They were so much fun, respectful to each other and completely cooperative!  

I am positive Shelly it won't be long before you are bumped down the line in height!  That is what happens when you marry a 6'5" man!!! I hope you enjoyed your sneak peak... I am sure there will be more posts to come...how could there not be with so many BEAUTIFUL daughters!

Sunday Simplicity...

Sunday afternoons at the park are the BEST!  Especially when spent with good friends.  The lighting in the park was amazing and I couldn't resist taking a ton of pictures of Nash's cute little friend.  I am always amazed at how the simplest things such as a dandelion can make a child so happy!

I apologize for how HUGE the pictures are in this post!  Too tired to fix it. :)

Kisses...

She was very excited to blow kisses for her favorite boys Addison, Weston and Brandon....

Terrific Two's!

Nothing sweeter then a two year old in a tutu!

DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

She's definitely got moves!

Imagine...

One of my favorite things to do before a photo-shoot is to scout out an area.  I love walking around beautiful thought provoking places where my imagination can create scenes.  When working with small children executing those visions isn't always easy.   Here are some of the scenes that I imagined...

The fairy tale.

The sky is the limit.

life....

How do they make you feel?

She's got Spunk!

Yesterday, I had my first photo-shoot in Pennsylvania, I absolutely LOVE the parks here! It was a pleasure working with this spunky little 2 year old and her beautiful mother. We definitely got our work-out capturing her cute little smiles. This park provided some great backdrops and YES I am a HUGE fan of the colored photos but these black and whites are tugging on my heart strings as well. SUCH A CUTIE!




Hope you have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY....there will be more to come in a cute little tutu!
