Talk about a big beautiful family! I’ve shot the Stakers before, and I’ve shot the Shane littles before but I’d never had the pleasure of shooting the gang all together. And it was just that, a pleasure! So much love between all of these peeps and it definitely shows. We started off with some big ol’ group shots, then forced Charlie (the oldest cuz) to take a few pics with his brother (oh no, cooties! 😛 ) and we finally wrapped it all up with a little fam shoot with the Shanes (hands down most cooperative children I’ve ever shot, including my own!).  Cal and Joan how blessed you guys are to have all of these adorable, funny, little and not so little grandchildren running around!!

And just like that my crazy Fall photo season is officially slowing down. I couldn’t have hand picked a more fun group to wind down with so thank you Stakers and Shanes! I’m glad you were willing to come from both near and far to spend the afternoon with me 🙂

We almost went through with this shoot on one of the few miserable, gloomy, rainy October days we’ve had and at the very last minute we called it. I (pretty sure Cara and Dave will agree) could not be happier we did because the reschedule day turned out to be one of the most beautiful days I’ve shot on this Fall. Add the adorable Morkes family and it’s a win all around. I always love to see what Cara will come up with for our shoots. The props, the clothes, the snacks… her game was on point! 🙂

Good news, better news here Cara and Dave… Good news is we have lots more adorable pics of your littles to add to your walls. Better news is you don’t have to see me again (professionally at least 😉 ) for another year! 😛

This shoot has been on the books since the last click of my camera on their 2015 shoot. It is SO awesome to get to shoot families year after year, catch up, see who has less teeth, who’s sprouted four inches, etc. 😉 The Winklers are no exception. I can’t believe how much these adorable (not so little) kids have grown up over the past year. It’s easy to turn a blind eye to the passing of time in your own house but WHOA, shoots like these can be an eye opener. Last year, Colin was the toothless one and now it’s Quentin. And just like that Aubrey is like 16!? (I mean she’s not but it felt that way, like where did this gorgeous young woman come from!?) Laura and Patrick, it was a pleasure AGAIN. I hope we get to keep doing this year after year, you know until next year when they’re all off at college 😛

But seriously, another top notch Winkler shoot in the books. Thanks guys for keeping me around 😉

Shooting friends is always a treat. And upon editing such a shoot, it’s a double treat when your kids look over your shoulder and say “hey, those are MY friends!!” After one reschedule due to unseasonably HOT September weather I finally made it out with the Fischers and it was fab! I mean, these kids are so adorable (just ask my Sam) and Chad and Lisa are smokin’ so I shouldn’t have expected any less 😉 Family shoots with an excess of two children are bound to get a little chaotic but the Fischers rolled with the punches. Lisa and Chad came prepared with snacks and bribes and that is really all that I can ask for! 😛 The kids even hung in there for a quick trip back to the house for a few pics back on the front porch and it turned out to be SO worth it.

Thanks Fischers for a great shoot! Here’s hoping you still think this is your best shoot yet 😉
