The 'S' Family

 I took this cute family's pics the other night.  I love seeing their sweet kids and seeing how much they grow each year!  Their girls are exactly my girl's ages (within a few weeks) and the older two are about the same ages as my boys too--so it's fun to see to step back and see another family with 4 young kids and remind me why I feel so busy sometimes! 

 This girl was a natural--I could have snapped pictures of her all day!

 I am still going through all the family pictures.  The singles were easy.  It's a little more time-consuming sorting through the family pics, and picking out the ones where one child isn't running off, or lifting up their shirt, or pulling a funny face, or tormenting a younger sibling!  I love it though--it reminds me of my life!  I should probably post some of the "take outs"---with four little ones, it is hilarious what some of the pictures end up looking like!  

 

mom and me sessions

Every since my good friend Brittney and I spent about 10 minutes, taking each other's pics with our kids I have been wanting to offer something like this to anyone who wants it!  I love these pictures she took!  They are priceless to me because I really don't have tons of pics with me and my kids (since I am the one always taking them!).   I feel like these sessions are so much more low key too and not as stressful.  You don't have to have everyone in coordinating outfits. You don't have to drag your husband along (in my experience, the husbands usually aren't as excited about getting family pics done as the wife). 

It is just you and the kids at a park, in your yard...playing together, reading, kicking a ball--whatever you do together!  I wanted to make this session a good deal so that this could be possible for anyone interested.

I love capturing these kind of candid pics and capturing the bond that exists between a mom and her kids.  They are priceless to me. 

Basil Girls

Finally Stef...a few of your pictures!  These girls were just so much fun.  I couldn't get over little M's posing.  She sure had it down.  Now if only my girls liked getting their pictures taken as much as her, that would make me SO happy!

 

one of my favorites...

Just wanted to post one of my favorite pictures, taken a few months ago.  Hopefully I will get around to posting a few of the sessions I have been working on as of late.

Welcome!

Welcome to my new photo blog!  My other one was giving me grief for some reason and causing so many issues every time I tried to post pictures--that is why it was left alone for almost two years!  Now, I am ready to be a little more organized and hopefully post more of my sessions and my favorite photos.  

Now that my husband is done with grad school, I have a little more time on my hands and am doing more photo shoots.  Sorry to all those I turned down during those crazy few years, but with my four young kids and husband gone a lot, I just couldn't do everything.  

But now I am so excited to get back into photography a little more.  So if you are interested in getting some photos taken--a family session, children portraits, seniors, engagements...let me know!  Prices are very reasonable.
