All Together

Ok, so if you've read my "I'm for Hire" page, you know that I said I'm not ready to do big family shoots. And I'm not. But this family only had 2 kids under the age of 11, and one was an infant. It was fabulous. When I took the big family shot--everyone was looking, and it was easy. So no one get ideas that I'm down with doing big fams. Anyhoodles, this family was great. It's super easy to take pictures of overly handsome people. Who doesn't want to take pictures with their hot cousins? I got some sweet shots of Grandma and Grandpa, and as I was editing one even made a little tear come to my eye. Love their hands holding, how loving is that. Check out this sweet family.

More Peeps

Another one of my peeps. This is Molly and her family. She's pregnant---obviously. She's due in a few weeks, and she is going to be busy. We took these shots at Tempe Town Lake. I love the colors, super vibrant. I got some sweet ones of the parents alone with each child, but I had to limit myself on posting. She brought out a red couch and we got some fun shots. Turns out--kids are happy when they get popcorn. Oh, and my photography teacher showed me how to make RAW images look better on the web. I hope it works.

Two of them

This is my friend and her daughter. Actually, a lot of my friends are debuting on my photo blog this holiday season. Anyhoodles, these two are fun. Super easy to take photos of---as you can see. It was hard choosing photos because they had so many, but I narrowed it down. My favorite is the flamingo. And for all of the rest of my friends who are checking this out--isn't the individual picture I got of her----so her? Um . . yah. Oh, and I thought my Nikon was broken, so I borrowed my friend's Canon. I have to say--I enjoyed the results. The colors were just fabulous, thanks Ashley. Oh, if anyone knows any hot 30 somethings that aren't crazy---she's single.

Let me explain

Many times I have ended my editing night and wanted to tell a story about each and every picture. This is one. If you'll notice there are a butt load of pictures. This is the best photo shoot I've ever done. There were a few contributing factors:

1. Foxy Family

2. Excellent lighting

3. New skills from my new photography teacher (Wendy Schulz)

4. A 2 year old in a fabulous mood

5. They are family (The dad is Hy's bro)

So I've decided to do like they do on DVD's and do a "Photographer's commentary". Should be fun


I like that they are looking at their parents. I told them to do that:)



This is just funny




By far the best picture I've taken in a long time.



His mouth is killing me. Like he's totally bored with us.


This is what happens when you have a 2 year old say "Poop"



Um . . .sexy



Just love it



Love their body positioning. Especially my niece on the left



He picked up his sister's glasses. Seriously--can this kid get cuter? Stay tuned for the answer.



Love the locks and hood.



This was a slippery board thing. And she looks super cute. Love the worn out paint.



Body language tells all. I just love it. My favorite is that at the top there is a lock. That was a happy accident. It's like an inanimate (sp?) representation of marriage. Love it.




Answer: Yes he can. He came up with this pose on his own.

I love feet pictures!!!???



Notice how everyone has picture ready faces, and then my niece has a fish face. Absolutely love it.



Love the composition of this shot.



How fun is this?



Loved that natural smiles. I want to take more pictures like this. . . I'm learning.


She smiles like this all the time.



Seriously? He got cuter. How sweet is this of dad and son?



Consequence of getting your pictures done by me. Love the parents faces.




There was a shopping cart. So I made them get in it.
