oh.my.goodness.

I'm not even sure where to start with these. I have way too many that I want to share, and this isn't even breaking the surface. Mom has already seen them, so I'm not spoiling anything, but I also don't want to overwhelm anyone with too many pictures of one family. These girls are gorgeous. I just don't know what else to say about them. This is the second time I've photographed them, and they still take my breath away.

I'm so fickle and can't make up my mind on the processing of these, so I'll do little bit of each. ;)

















She just turned 6, so these were really her pictures.

extremes

The last time this family had me take their pictures it was unbearably hot. This time it was really cold. Maybe someday we'll be able to get it right :) Big brother didn't seem to mind and just wanted to run. Little sister seemed like she would rather be warmed up, but then when we left they had to chase her off of some nearby playground equipment. Everyone has since thawed out though, and probably looking forward to a few previews.







Dad constantly has the kids laughing (and me) with his Halloween sound effects. He does a really good warewolf howl.

a whirlwind of awesomeness

The leaves, the weather, and the families have made the past few weeks very busy but very enjoyable for me. I'm trying desperately to get caught up, so here is an adorable family from a few weeks ago.













Growling! I love it!

I needed a meal...

...after this one. A few families (cousins) with some serious blue-eyed beauties and some serious energy. I worked up an appetite by the time we called it a day.

First up were the brothers, one of which was not going to stay still for long. So we got what we could, because we knew it wasn't going to come easy. I think the ones of the two of them are way more entertaining than a perfectly posed shot though :)



the busy boy...



Is there anything cuter than a pair of Chuck Taylor's?















Next up was their sweet little girl cousin and her baby brother.













They taught us some songs we didn't know!

If he's already annoyed by her, he is in for trouble!

a porcelain doll

This little girl took my breath away. I think she literally looks like a doll. Her perfect eyes, her blond locks, and her perfectly red lips are just so beautiful. And she has a really pleasant personality to go with it!

If this picture was all we got that day, I would've been happy. But it wasn't...and I was still happy :)

we finally met

I'd been talking to this mom of three for almost a year about getting her family's pictures taken. We could never get our schedules to line up, but a few weeks ago we finally were able to meet. The weather was gorgeous, as was her family :)









They don't pick on their little brother. Ok maybe just a little!





This was not planned. This is just what they did, and I think it's so heartwarming when siblings want to hug.
