More of the Hooligans, less Shenanigans!

A few more pics of Jaxon and "B" here-

B- GORGEOUS...and she was absolutely FLIRTING with the Camera- watch out parents!!!

Jax...not my favorite shoot for several reasons.

Number one being- Jaxon spent the hour before the shoot with one of his favorite people in the universe- Grandpa! With this particular grandpa I have to remember, unless I specifically forbid an activity, treat, outting etc... it is FAIR GAME! On this day I forgot to forbid anything that would stain his face...forgot...or...didn't think I would ever need to forbid such a strange thing...but one Cherry shaved ice later- Jaxon was stained red from tip to toe! Especially his lips!
Also, as I was editing this shoot, it just sort of took on a old school edit. The pictures just all sort of screamed- Vintage! Vintage!
So as you can see with B, she looks like a little 20's model. Jaxon... well...love the kid to death, but it's just not his best look!

Anyway, Enjoy!














And for the Vintage Crowning Glory-

Shenanigans and Hooligans!

Oh these two! My little guy Jaxon has a best friend "B". They carpool to school three times and have 2-3 playdates a week. They definately have a love/hate relationship, especially now that they are realizing that boys don't always play like girls, and girls don't always play like boys. None-the-less, they are hysterical. They are both WAY TOO SMART for their own good, and could out-talk most 20 year olds.
Anyway, B's mom and I both wanted a few Easter pictures of our kiddos so we decided to kill 2 birds with one stone and take them out together. I would hate to call that a "mistake" cause they sure had a good time, but taking those two knuckleheads out together made for an interestings shoot!
Before you look at these pictures, know that I did actually get some good ones (mostly of B) but I will upload those later- These were two funny to wait!

Silly Buddys


On this one, their fake smiles were just killing us, so we said, "Okay, just hold hands and laugh for us!"
This is what we got.




This one is my favorite. I told them to both hide behind the tree. When I counted to three I wanted them each to stick their head out one side and smile. Right as I was about to take the picture I realized my memory card was full and had to change it. They were whispering and giggling behind the tree (Whispering and giggling is nothing new to them, so I didn't think much of it...) but when I got all ready to go again, and counted to 3, this is the plan they had cooked up!
B's mom and I couldn't stop laughing!

Little bit' O' Red...

All I have to do is post this awesome picture of my favorite guy-

I LOVE THIS FAMILY TOO!!!

Another one of my four favorite brothers and 4 favorite SIL's! (Not to mention some of my favorite nieces and nephews!)
There is something to be said about photographing older kids-they listen! There is something to be said about photographing a family with only one toddler-bribery! I love these kids, and they were great. The weather was gorgeous, the family is obviously stunning, and it was a breeze. We spent a little over an hour and it just flew by!
Love you guys, and hope you love your sneak peak!

First the whole family-






Just the kids-


Just the gorgeous girls-


My miraculous and handsome nephews-


Individuals...








And finally, a close up on why this family is so perfectly wonderful--

Love this Family!

Of Course I do! He's one of my 4 favorite brothers, and she's one of my 4 favorite sister in laws!
We didn't get much shoot time, nor really the right time of day because the kiddos were still on Minnesota time, but we made it happen, which was no small feat! K is not much got being told what to do, and baby J did not appreciate the grass, or the sun...but mostly the grass!
I love you guys and your pics... You are BE-U-TEE-FUL!!!

Little J

Well, this little beauty turned 1, so I can't call her "baby J" anymore. Guess it's "Little J" Now.
I can't believe how gorgeous this girl continues to be, but it shouldn't be surprising...if you only knew her mom!
She was NOT happy during our shoot (shoot time was also nap time) but we still got some good ones...Such is the life of a one year old at a photoshoot, right?
Hope you Love em' Marie!










Two different versions of this next pic....I liked both!

Just a sneak!

Today and I went and did a little mini Valentines day shoot with my little guy, and it was pretty disasterous! The funny thing is though...although he was frowning, freezing, or crying through 80% of the shoot...I got several shots I love! One of my dear friends is going to make his personalized valentines with my favorite pictures...so I'm not uploading those yet, but this is one of my favorite outtakes!

More, More, More!

It's December...photographically speaking...shouldn't I be less busy? Just wondering...Anywoo...
Here are a couple pictures that I turned in for a photo assignment so I happen to have them edited! (No Marie, the others aren't ready yet, and yes, I PROMISE to tell you as soon as they are!!!) :o)
I love these two families- my HS best friend turned Sis-In-Law when she married my older bro, and my best friend in the ward! Both fantastically beautifully sassy ladies!
So, I will probably upload more pictures from these shoots when I have more time, but for now, enjoy!

First- two of Marie's three-







My Gorgeous nieces and their parents' legs-

For Nikki

Still super busy, still shooting the cutest families ever! Here is Nikki's band of GORGEOUS boys... (not to mention a smokin' hot mom!!!)





How could I NOT include this one? They adore each other!

A little of this and a little of that...

As was promised (warned) the "sneak peaks" would be few and far between this season. Tonight I am in between sessions and thought I would upload just a couple cute ones from the last week or so....

My gorgeous niece Peyton in her baptism dress-



The Amazingly beautiful and shockingly well behaved T family-




And of course Carsyn, who never fails to impress with her gorgeous locks, fashion accessories, and stylish outfits...not to mention her ridiculously cute self!




Who knew a graffitied dumpster could look so cool???
