{J} Family!!!

I must admit, this could be my favorite shoot of all time!  (If not, it's definitely VERY near the top!!)  This family was such a riot!!  Big Brother {P} was just about to leave on his mission {He left 2 days after we took these!} & it's clear they will miss him SO MUCH!!  He was constantly making everyone laugh by whispering jokes, tickling them or giving them funny looks!!  I loved watching them interact as a family!  Thanks {J} Family for a GREAT NIGHT!!!

I LOVE this first one!!!  Mostly, because it was one of those great, spontaneous moments!!  After a group shot somebody said, "Hey, everybody move your heads in close." (or something like that!) & this is the result!  I love it!!! 

Here's a few more favorites:

My beautiful family!!

I was talking to a friend of mine about big family photos this morning.  I told her she should go to my blog & see the photo I did of MY family... then I got on my blog & tried to find it to send her the link.  I couldn't find it!  Apparently I didn't ever post it, which I can NOT BELIEVE!!!  I'm really proud of this photo!!  It was a LOT of work & is definitely a work of "Photoshop Art," but I love it!!!  Here is my photo of my BEAUTIFUL family!!!

{O} Family Kiddos!!

Here is a little preview for the {O} Family!! I did a photo-shoot with these sweet kiddos last week!! I had a blast with them!

PS...Did you recognize cutie baby {M} from a couple of posts ago?!? He's growing fast!!

And since I know their Mama likes black & white I thought I'd include this one, too:

My AMAZING Parents!!!

A few weeks ago I attended my Grandfather's funeral. It was a tough day, but it was so wonderful to be surrounded by my family. I took this photo of my parents at the cemetery. I love it! I have AMAZING parents!!!

Lovely Ladies!!!

These LOVELY LADIES are my Husband's Aunt, Grandma & Mom!! They are SOO beautiful!!! I am so lucky to call them family!! ;D This photo was taken several months ago, but only recently edited, so I thought I would share it.

A quick preview for baby {J}!!

This little sweetie was so fun to photograph!! Her Mom & Aunt were QUICK at moving her around & changing her clothes, in fact I'm quite sure it was the fastest photo shoot EVER!! (OK, maybe not EVER!) But it was really great!! She is just darling!! {J}'s Mom made her this awesome blanket & she just had to give it a quick SNUGGLE-- it was SO CUTE!!

Here's just a little preview!

My great friends... the {B} Family!!

This family lives 2 houses down from me . . . that is until next week. :( They are moving! I am SOO sad!!! I know they will be greatly missed. Don't they have a BEAUTIFUL family?!? I WILL MISS YOU GUYS!!!

I couldn't decide which one I liked best: "mocha" or "vintage" so I decided to post both!

A few more for the {H} Family!

I can't say enough about this family. They are beautiful inside and out!!! Thanks again, guys!!

{H} Family!!

This awesome family lives in my old Ward & it was REALLY great to see them again!!! I can't believe how much their 2 BEAUTIFUL girls have grown up since we moved almost 2 years ago. Thanks for a great morning, guys & thanks for letting me drag you all over the place!! Here's a tiny preview:

This is my family on my husbands side!! We haven't done a "big" family photo for over NINE years, so this was a huge deal!!! (The oldest grandson, on the far right was only a few months old in our last one!!) I'm very pleased with how it turned out!! We have such a beautiful family! A BIG thanks to Uncle Breon for pushing the button for us & to Aunt Sug for being the entertainment that got all the kids to smile!!! We couldn't have done them without you!!!

New Family Photos!!

I FINALLY got around to taking some family photos of my own family!! (Thanks to my sweet Mother-in-Law for the "NUDGE" & also for all the help pushing the button for me!!) It's been over 4 years since we've had a family photo, so I am REALLY excited about it!! I also did individual shots of my 3 oldest kids. . . my baby girl was DONE after the family shots, so I'll have to do her individuals another day! I must admit, I have a beautiful family!!

This is my sweet Marcie!! She has such a tender heart & is always trying to help those around her feel GREAT! Take a second to enlarge this photo (just click it!)! She has the most beautiful eyes! They absolutely SPARKLE!!

Isn't my little Wyatt (who's not really so little anymore :( ) SUPER handsome?!? He's growing up faster than I'm ready for!! He's ALL BOY, so in our house full of girls we LOVE it!!

This is my beautiful Morgan! I am SOO jealous of her GORGEOUS curls!!! Some days she wishes her hair was straight, but I gotta tell ya, I'd give about anything to have her curls!! She's SO LUCKY . . . wouldn't you agree?!?

{J} Family Photos!!

Isn't the {J} Family a BEAUTIFUL family?!? This is my Sister-in-Law & Brother-in-Law (pictured below) & these HANDSOME boys are of course, my nephews!! We spent a wonderful afternoon together & were able to get some great family photos!! I absolutely LOVE the top one!! Isn't it so precious?!?!?

A little preview for the {H} family girls!!

I had a couple GREAT photo sessions with the {H} family girls last week!! I haven't had a lot of time to edit them yet, but I wanted to post a little preview of their FIVE darling girls!!! Aren't they beautiful?!? There will be many more to come!

My cute kiddos!!

I did a mini-shoot with my kids recently & here's a couple of my favorite group shots!! I was really excited that they would all SMILE for me!! --It did take some Photoshop magic to get them all smiling in the top one, but the bottom one is all them!!! (It seems to be harder to get my OWN kids to smile for photos than someone else's! Could it be because I want pictures of them so often, maybe?!? Oh well, they did fantastic!!)

{Grandkids} Photo Shoot!

These sweet kiddos sure gave me a run for the money at our photo shoot this week!! I'll admit it was kinda crazy but fun, too!! Two of them (the boys in the back) are my nephews!! All the kids are cousins that happen to live all over the place in different states, but they were ALL together this week! To me, this is what photography is all about--capturing a moment that you want to remember FOREVER!! It took some "photoshop magic" to get this shot together, but I'm pretty happy with the final result. Thanks guys for a CRaZy, fun night!!

"B" Family

I was lucky enough to shoot these beautiful girls a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the Dad was sick that night so we got together again to get some family shots. Thanks "B" Family for another great night in the studio!!! You have a DARLING family!!

"C" Family

I was able to do a 2 part shoot with the "C" Family!! We took some family shots outside & then finished up the shoot in my studio! These boys have the funnest personalities!! I had a GREAT time with their family!! Here are a few of my favorites:

"B" Family

These 2 girls are absolutely GORGEOUS!! (It's no wonder because their Mom is, too!!) Their Dad got sick at the last minute, so I just shot the girls! I had a great time taking their pictures!! I had a hard time choosing which pictures to post because there were so many great ones!!

"D" Family

I had a BLAST taking pictures of this family!! 4 beautiful daughters--what's NOT to love?!? The shoot was very laid back & a LOT of fun!! Thanks SO much "D" Family for being my guinea pigs!! I have a feeling something fun began with you!!
