The Ridley Family

Wow, I had another family expecting their 2nd child last week. This family reminded me a ton of my little family 8 or 9 months ago. I really wish we would have gotten some family pics to document our last time as a family of 3. Their little guy was so much fun to talk to and made the greatest expressions. It was great meeting you guys, and thanks for letting Lawson tag along with us!

The Nygren Family

This little guy is 15 months old and about to be a big brother! He is at one of my very favorite baby stages, but a tricky stage to photograph since 15 month olds are sooo busy. I really wish I would have weighed myself before I left for this shoot, because I had to have lost a few pounds chasing him around!

Blanco/Lensing Family

This is such a sweet, close knit family. The littlest one has already made an appearance on here and is now celebrating his first birthday. He is such a serious little man, but we got some fun smiles and expressions out of him today! He is fascinated with cars, and it was so cute watching him get totally distracted every time a car passed by! When we tried to find a day to get all of the family together, we decided to do it right before his birthday party. Happy Birthday, E!

Tyler

This was the first really cold day that I've had a photo shoot in November, but Tyler was a trooper and cooperated with everything for me! We had a great time making silly faces at each other.

Tyler was so excited to visit the trains. I just love this little sequence that I caught as a train passed by.

I don't think Mom and Dad really wanted the cowboy hat in any pictures, but Tyler really did. This ended up being one of my favorites, and I had to share!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I will be visiting family and away from my email Wed-Friday for Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I'll be back in touch this weekend!

Onsby/Coleman Cousin Session

1 kid... awesome. 2 kids... no problem! 6 kids??? Oh my goodness! Yes, I had the pressure to get a great picture of 6 cousins for their grandma. The kids did wonderful, and I still can't believe how many good ones I have to choose from! We did have a secret treat to keeping them happy, M&Ms. I'm thinking I may keep a pack in my camera bag from now on :) Hopefully grandma will be happy!

Santa Mini-Sessions

One of my good friends had a cookies with Santa party last weekend and asked me to take pictures of the kids with Santa. Here are a few of my favorites...

A rare family photo, since I'm usually behind the camera! Thanks Maggie!

The Sexton Family

Mom and I emailed each other back and forth trying to decide on the best location for their active boy. We finally decided on the playground, and it was perfect. I'm thinking it may have also been the last beautiful day of November, so I was happy to spend it with such a great family!

So sweet!

I love these last two...

They brought along his lovey "Dog" for a few special pics.


Mom was a little nervous of the wobbly ladder that he was climbing, but he was not scared at all!

The Rhett Family

I have had the hardest time picking my favorites from this session because I have soooo many! From the outfits to the beautiful leaves to the adorable family, I loved it all!
