Not many words need to be said for these sweet girls- cousins- one shy, one so not ~ but each of them soo Adorable …. Tried  super hard to get that nice group shot….. ya know all 3 cousins sitting smiling at me……ummmm yeahhh righhhhhttt ha ha but as a photographer THESE moments – getting to follow them around SEE what they SEE- thats what I love about this and hope  others to do! Even with a lil fat lip ( O she reminds me of my Cashman) Ruby- you are a bright light and soo FUNNY- could follow you around all day, and sweet, sweet Miss C- you are so quiet and I think the only time I got you to smile was when we were playing with the pinwheels:) The one that make me S M I L E most ( well all these truly do…….the flower one- O.MY.HEART! or the “secret” one- the hand is the only thing in true focus but I LOVE it!) is the big bro one– this was an “accidental” shot- we were walking back over bridge and lil sis had just gotten there- ran to her brother and that look she gave him- so yes the picture is imperfect but the smile, the look– so perfect to me!!  Joshua- Big Brother- you were such a HUGE help- making the girls giggle, chasing them around even when Im sure you would have rather been anywhere else! Thank you Hovis family- hope you enjoy your sneaks!!

I took these shots back in October for a friend ( SEE- didnt forget Jules!!). Nothing big- actually in MY BACK YARD and I soo didnt like all the background houses, but we had lil time and ALL the kiddos ( enough said right?? hee hee):D I actually have gone back to them MANY a days in between editing other families…. Brought back so many GREAT memories of me and my grandma, Kay-Kay and made me wonder if my Kay-Kay would feel the same as Julie’s sweet Gma feels about her now as an adult, raising an awesome, big family.  You could FEEL the love between these two and the heartache of goodbye. I actually captured many teary eyed ones of Jules and while it may make her sad all over again to not have her grandma close by- I hope the memories of this day..having fun ( what a GREAT gal to let me put some lips on her! lol), Brogie being left out of all the great~grandchildren shots ( his choice btw!! lol and the one I did get..Julie will have to post- its FUNN-Y!), and just seeing a family surrounding a loved one…..knowing these memories will forever be in our hearts and now in frames too! Love you all!!

I had such a fun time getting some FaMiLy shots for Miss A’s lil family:) Her parents ROCKed it out ( um I seriously wanted to steal her mommas hair accessories and shoes??…..LOVED them!! Pops has a rockin hawk ( and might I say soo proud of your SMILE this go around!! hee hee he – JUST kidding with you, u were so GReat!)- dont wanna show many fam ones since the Holidays are JUST around the corner ( umm 6 weeks to be exact!! CANT believe it!!), but hope you all enjoy and can see the fun we all had chasing Miss A around!

We had the pleasure of getting away for the weekend and brought along 2 great families with us….lets just say 6 adults 13 KIDS and WE ALL HAD A BLAST!!!!

Fresh eggs from our chicken friends in the morning ( thank s B and CJ!!) and who could forget the lil bits of snow we saw, the log of DEATH, so many BeAuTiFuL leaves,GReat food, fishin ( if only we caught leaves- we had FUN!) and of course are protective Turkey Mr. D!! Thanks for an awesome trip !

Hee hee he from the title you may think I am posting some of my kiddos- not yet– have lots to do before personal photos get looked at !

But this fam is truly a blessing to me- I have only known Mrs. Nicole for a short time but feel as though while we are different in so many areas, we are kinda the same soul- weird?? maybe but I mean it soo sincere Nic- thanks for being so sweet always and going with the flow:) Your family ROCKS!! 4 kids- all so fun and every time I come over to shoot them ( hee hee hee if you only knew how funny this is since they are avid hunters!!) I leave with a big OLE smile on my face!  We did a lil bit of everything for this shoot…baby K’s 6 month pic- she was non to happy to see me pull in I believe, but those eyes– she could just stared at me all day and Id snap a way smile or  not- though next time I better come with the sillynesss!!  The pictures with her daddy was by “accident”,  ha is a photograph EVER an accident?? NO, but he just picked her up at the end- naked bootie and all~ these shots …soo sweet !  I had asked Ali girl if I could steal her for a minute because I think this age is sooo FUN- they have a little spunk to them but not overly nervous to let me take a pic– and she is SUCH a beautiful girl!  Thank you Ali for making ME smile and for your rockin style- If I could only be soo cool on a couch outdoors in my backyard!! Last but not least– ONLY posting the funny fam pic Nic– though YOU woudl prob use these for your Christmas cards over anyting else!! I just think these tell the story of our day..FUN. Laughter, giggles, baby K THE funniest expressions EVER, and most of all family no matter how big or small…. a blessing and Im so glad to have this one blessing ME!!

I got to capture this sweet family last week and was soo Excited when I found out her sons name…….. CASH!!  I have not met another Cash that is older than my Cashman- and its always so fun to hear how the name was picked for a child- Mrs.C’s grandma thought of the name, mentioned it to momma the day she held this little bundle in her arms and Cash it was!! I think the name alone just makes a little boy all the more adventurous,daring and bold ( well atleast for my Cash that applies!! lol) This boy Cash was a DREAM for me- smiling, funny, quick comebacks and GReat expressions- not shy at all, but in a photograph it defiantly helps to be bold:) The one family shot I loved because mom and pops were laughing at something I must have said- yes I AM that funny!! hee he JUST kidding!~and so was Mr.Cash but only his face is truly in focus- LOVE it!!  This was a mini shoot so I dont want to give all away, especially the family ones as this time of year lots of Christmas cards will be sent out ( so exciting to get MY  pictures in the mail from all the families come Christmas!!). Enjoy and soo FUN getting to know you guys more ( what a FUN couple too!!) and better be seeing you again Mrs. C come late spring!!
