McGinnis': The whole gang!

This is my best friend's family.....I have known them FOREVER and ever, so we laughed a ton during this shoot....I love taking pictures of people I love!  It was so comfortable and fun, and both little girls turned out SO beautifully in the pictures...I posted a billion because they were all SO cute...this is a good looking family...

Jonker Twins

I love, love, love twins!  (No big surprise, huh?) I was reminded how challenging it is to photograph eight month olds....they are BUSY!  I love these sweet babies....they did SO well on a really, really cold day!

The Brill Family

Shelley is an old friend from high school, so I was excited to get to photograph her adorable family today.  How cute is Ryder??  He didn't really want his picture taken, but he's so precious it didn't matter!!

The Vajdos Family

This weekend I got to shoot some pictures of our good friends Nathan and Brandi.  This is their first holiday in their new home, and baby Jackson (their first) is arriving in a few months, so this is an exciting time for them!  They were obviously so happy, and so fun to shoot!  Hope you guys like them!

My BFF Kelly helped this weekend with a little photo op for our Christmas cards....our great friend Brandi (an amazing photographer) took our pictures in September, but little Livi already looks so different....I wanted some updated pictures to use in our cards.  Here are some of my favorites from our shoot....I took a bunch of new pictures of my kids, and Kelly was such a good sport about taking some of our nearly unmanageable gang of five, so that I could actually appear on the other side of the lens for a change!  I realized one thing during this outing....It is next to impossible to get three children under the age of three to cooperate for picture taking!  Once again, the twins managed to look like their cat got run over by a car....they look so morose in some of them!  It cracks me up because they are the happiest, silliest kids you will ever meet....not that anyone on our Christmas card list will buy it.

The McGinnis Family

I have been learning a lot of new "tricks" for photo effects....I have had the best time (and spent the MOST time) the last few days practicing....

God Bless America!!

Baby Logan

These pictures crack me up, because they were taken when Logan was so little!  She is almost two now, and looks SO different....I loved looking through these and seeing how tiny she used to be!
