Merry Christmas..and a Happy New Year

What a great year it has been. Personally full of ups and downs, (Birthing some big babies, adjusting to 4 kids and trying to be patient) and profressionally full of excitment and promise. Things are in the works for a new business next year...I can't wait to show you what I have been working on. Thanks go to my sweet family and friends for their support in my new adventure. I can't wait!
This is my last session of the year...another awesome family. Our dear friends. We love having dinner together on Sundays, and playing card games. Love you guys...
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with their families!

{Friends}

When my honey and I bought our first home 5 years ago we met our awesome neighbors the Zito's. They have been such a blessing to us we have loved and appriciated their friendship...I love the colors in these don't you?






It has been so fun to watch their kiddos grow up. Their 2nd daughter was just 3 when we met....



















And what happens to a 3 year old at the end of the shoot? He doesn't want to take pictures anymore...cute little guy.

My Sister















This is my beautiful sister and her sweet family. As we drove around our hometown looking for spots to shoot at....we came upon this old abanonded house. I love old run down buildings and think that it adds character to the photos. Her sweet kiddos did perfect and in 30 minutes we got some amazing pictures...love you sis.


Oh and I have decided to start shooting full time with the New Year...I am going to officially start a little photography business! Be on the look out for a new logo, a new website and more beautiful images of beautiful people!

I can't help myself....

I can't stop taking pictures! I have such beautiful family and close friends with adorable children. I have not overdone it this year which has been wonderful. Someday I hope to be confident enough in my work to be in business and be able to handle the demands of running a business. Until then, I love learning and practicing on some stunning loved ones. Keep your eyes peeled for a few more sessions on the way....

This is my dear friend and her sweet family. She and I met when I was a teacher. It seems like eons ago...we stayed close through the years and if I have a medical question I ask my cute friend Nurse Jody. Her little daughter "A" is the sweetest girl. I am not lying...so go with the flow...don't you love her sweet curls?
Love you Jody....your family is precious!

Some of my favorite people....

Let me tell you why. Not only is this gorgeous family of 8 related to me, they made a big choice years ago to have my husband come and live with them. About 7 years ago my husband on a path back to happiness and was having a hard time progressing in the small town that he lived in. His kind brother and gracious sister-in-law offered their home and helped him regain the strength to live on. I will forever be grateful to them and their helping him, because without them I would not have him in my life.
They are wonderful parents and are a blast at Sunday dinners.....I am so glad we took these! I love you guys!
