Christmas Twins!

Since it has been so cold I haven't really been doing much photography lately. I don't really have the equipment or the room to do pictures inside. But I was able to do a few Christmas pictures of these two little kiddos at their house where there was a little more room to move around :)

They had grown so much since the last time I took their pictures. They are now 6 months old!

Melinda had them all decked out and stylin' in their Christmas outfits...

Look how he has his little arm around her, so cute!

He looks like such a serious little man, just taking care of his sister.

Melinda also had this Santa Bag...it was the perfect size for the two of them.

This just screams Christmas Card photo!

Just a little sneak peek, I'll have the rest for you soon!

{ A Good Start }

This is Nolan...Nolan and his parents! We met up to do a few family pictures. Things didn't go as smoothly as we were hoping they would go ;) Nolan woke up quite a bit earlier than usual and was having kind of a rough morning. He really didn't want much to do with me and my camera, I'm sure it didn't help that it was pretty chilly out there! But I did sneak this cute shot of him...

No worries though, we are going to reschedule and finish up another day. So check back for more of this cute little family!

A Little Halloween Preview

Here they are in all their fanciness!

At our house princess = sparkly. So they are pretty much sparkles from head to toe! Sparkly makeup, sparkly head bands, sparkly dresses, sparkly lip gloss, and sparkly shoes.

Cinderella, just striking a pose.

Sleeping Beauty is all smiles!

Happy Halloween......tomorrow!

Adventures at the Train Depot...

Here is a little sneak peek for you Molly! We ventured out to the train depot this weekend...along with A LOT of other photographers ;) But this little cutie was such a trooper in the cold and wind. I think it paid off though!

There are so many cute ones, I may have to share a few more when I get them edited!

Family of Six

Dana and I met while I was still living in Michigan and she was living in Idaho. We met totally by coincidence, but ended up finding out that we went to the same high school a few years apart and that we both grew up in the same little town. What are the odds?

Well, we happened to both be members of the same online photography forum, and ran into each other there. Now that I have moved to Idaho - we live about 15 minutes apart. So we decided to do a trade off, I take her family pictures and she takes mine. What a great idea! These are a few that I have edited so far:

Aren't her little blonde kiddos so cute? There were so well behaved too, they were all pretty willing to go along with any of our ideas :)

Sorry for making you wait for these Dana! I'm pretty sure there is at least one that will be Christmas card worthy ;)

Brand New...

This little one was just so tiny. You really do forget that they can be that small! Tiny hands, tiny fingers, and a tiny little cry...so sweet! We have been trying to arrange a day to get together to get some pictures, but the sunshine just has not been cooperating. Finally we found a day that worked for everyone and the sun was shining :)

Here are a few of my favorites...

Thanks for coming over guys, hopefully I wore her out and she took a good nap for you after you left :)

Cousins

These are my niece and nephew. When we moved to Boise we ended up being almost neighbors, and my kids have LOVED being so close to these two. And...it just so happens that Jade is turning 1 this weekend!

Yep, she is already a professional walker.

She stood still for me for about a minute while she tried to figure out just what exactly I was doing. Then she was off.

Andy was standing behind me waving a Reese's over my head as a bribe so that we could keep his attention. Worked like a charm!

We got one! Trying to get these two together and both looking at the camera was tricky, there are some pretty hilarious out takes;)
