This year I've had a bunch of return clients who have a new addition to the family.  This is one of those awesome families.  It's such a treat to see clients over (and over) again -- it's so fun to see how they've changed and grown (in lots of ways!).  Meet Eli and his new baby brother Owen...

Oh my, little Audrey was so happy and the perfect little model.  Just a 10-month-old but I think she has already got "it".  I didn't even have to pull out any puppets, bunny ears, singing, etc.  We only needed smiles.  Then she would mix it up with some adorable serious faces.  And all this during a mini session.  She was so much fun to photograph! :)

Another mini session.  Another sweet set of sisters.  Another baby who just totally went with the flow.  Another 2 year old who was so funny.  Some of the family shots from this session are my favorites, but we'll keep those secret until holiday cards go out.  But I couldn't wait to share a few of these pretty girls...

First, I can't believe that the next time I see Katelyn she will be one!  Seems like I was just meeting her as a newborn.  Doesn't she have the prettiest eyelashes.  Ok, I'm quite tired out from this morning's (fun!) mini sessions so I'm going to cut the writing short and get to sharing some of sweet Katelyn's images...

This is one of my new families this fall.  They are awesome and I feel fortunate they chose me to photograph their family.  This first image was taken within less than a minute of meeting Benjamin.  He was sitting with me while his parents were gathering things from the car.  I usually wait a little bit for kids to warm up before I pull out the camera.  But it was clear that Benjamin needed no warming up period.  This was a great start to a great morning.  There are so many of this beautiful family that I want to share.  And we got some great ones of them all together, but I think I'll save my full family shots from my sessions until after the holidays - just to keep them a surprise for any potential holiday cards they may want to send out. :)
