Just wanted to shout to this special mommy, who worked so hard to find the perfect date, perfect place, perfect clothes and yet, even without any of those things...her family would have been perfection. I am so glad her daughter will have this shot to look back on one day.

started with a little shyness...
....but nothing a little sun flare can't cure. Soon, he was all warmed up and filled with joy!

we work hard for our baby.
(sung to the tune of "We work for the money"). Those having tried to entertain a one year old, keep yourself looking decent, all the while looking natural and relaxed for the camera, understand that it's a nearly impossible task. This family did it well. I cracked up when I saw this shot. I have no doubt mommy had just been doing a "jig" and ran into the frame just in time for baby boy for stick out his tongue. Still, the reality of the shot makes it that much cuter.
And if a little dancing, flute playing, singing and tickling gets an innocent shot like this...
...if was all worth it.

no faking it.
I love when I meet families that take my direction and run with it. Unforced, playful interactions make my job so easy and result in real images like this.

As if unwrapping the most delicate package, they watched her in awe. She was the perfect gift to complete their little family.

importance of annual family photographs
I know you've heard me say it, time and time again, but annual FAMILY photographs are so important. Whether they are by a professional or taken with your Iphone, something to look back and see how much you've all changed. You could do what this family has done HERE (which really shows the aging process), or forego the mug shot style shots and get the family together wherever you happen to be and SNAP! I know getting a large group together and looking good can be such a headache, but I guarantee, no matter how many people have closed eyes or tears streaming down their face, you will be glad you did it!
I use this wonderful family as an example. I have had the pleasure to photograph them for several years, and even in this short time, they have added a new grand baby, the other children have grown and changed so much, and their little personalities offer a nice change to the picture each year. I don't do many "posed" large family groups, but love the challenge ;)
GO RANGERS!
morley fun day.
A full day of fun with these SUPER sweet kids and families! Enjoy your sneak peek!

behind the scenes.
Sometimes it takes an army to get a baby sleeping soundly. The girls weren't crazy about sitting and smiling with their new baby brother, but when he cried, they were right there to help. He is lucky to have such sweet sisters to look out for him. I just love real images like this.

sooo big!
It was a fun morning with this sweet family. Big brother wanted to talk action figures, little sister wanted her mommy and we just wanted to get some sibling shots with two active little kiddos. This attempt to get them in the same frame turned out to be a cute family shot.
