So for Christmas my wonderful husband surprised me with a 135mm lens. I admit it, I cried. And then wanted to immediately go outside and play with it. Alas, that couldn’t happen because it was Christmas day and I had 10 family members coming over to celebrate. So I put the lens down and my apron on. Pure. Torture. 😉

However, the day AFTER Christmas was fair game! So what did I do? I brought my husband and the kids out for a quick “mommy-wants-to-play-with-her-new-toy-so-suck-it-up-and-smile” session. And boy does this lens make me drool. It is just beautiful, sharp, and has the perfect amount of bokeh. I can’t wait to use it on my next outdoor session.

This was a super fun session -once you got passed how COLD it was! Having a family session at a Christmas tree farm was a lot of fun and so very festive. The view was beautiful and seeing all the trees really puts you in a holiday mood. I have been trying to hook up with this family for months so it was great to finally meet up for a session!

This family is very close to my heart since not only are they our best friends, but the youngest daughter also happens to be our god daughter. Since they moved to Maryland we don’t get to see each other as much as we’d like, but what better to do when we meet up than have a quick family session? It’s starting to get colder out now that winter is here, but in between pictures we wrapped the kids in blankets. It was crazy, but also lots of fun. We even took some pictures of the girls in front of my Christmas tree, which is funny because it can almost pass as a prop. 🙂

Nothing is more fun than meeting a new family! I was so lucky with this session because the location was just stunning. Even though fall had started inching it’s way towards winters door, we braved the chilly weather and had a great shoot. Lots of colors still came through and this beautiful and photogenic family made my job easy!

The light was so pretty I had to play with some flare. 🙂

One of the hardest things most photographers deal with is actually getting a full family picture that includes YOU (you know, the actual photographer?). This fall we went to a pumpkin patch with my parents and I was determined to get an updated fall image. In order to do this I have to hand over my camera to my mom and hope for the best. After making all the setting adjustments, and positioning my family, I slowly handed the camera over to my mom. First thing she asks me? “Where do I look, and what button do I push?” OK, so maybe that was two things.

Oh boy.

I explained it (again), ran over to my family and told her to start snapping. She must have taken 25 pictures. She even kept snapping when I got up to go over to her and take my camera back (I have serious camera anxiety when someone else is holding it -all I saw was her dropping it). Talk about snap happy. BUT, she captured a nice image and that was all I could hope for.

Then it was just time for fun at the pumpkin patch!

I had the great honor of photographing four cousins together to give as a gift to their grandmother. Four children under 3yrs old bring many challenges, but being outside where we could run around was helpful. As was having lots of patience and the ability to act silly and be quick! We had a great session!

So this fun session happened over the summer when we were still having hot days and wearing bright colors. Who doesn’t love summer? This was a super fun summer session. The colors, the location, and the beautiful family. What more could I ask for? Sometimes photographing 3 kids can be difficult (you know, trying to get all of them to look at you AND smile at the same time?) but these kids were a dream! Even the baby! The whole family is so photogenic the hardest part for me was choosing which pictures were the best. 🙂

And as a bonus, I got to photograph baby Emma for her 1yr cake smash!

Got to take family pictures of my good friend and her daughters the other day.  This was the first time I’ve done a more lifestyle type session, and I have to say, I really enjoyed it.  I had to dust off my speedlite, but it was definitely worth it!

The twins love getting their pics taken -and they are so photogenic!

Then it was time to get their new baby sister involved.

Three beautiful sisters. <3

Finally it was mommy’s turn.
