Family Pictures: The Foster Family

I did this session way back at the begining of the month and am just now getting some of the pictures posted.
I think that I was able to capture some seriously candid moments for this family.
Moments; that when looked back upon will be said: "yep, that is just like her!"

I can only hope that the family is happy with those kinds of pictures.
The kidlets were insanely adorable and Dad & Mom were so much fun to take pictures of.
The love and respect that each of them had for each other was so evident in their eyes and their gaze on one another.

....unfortunately....it was insanely windy!
But hey, who doesn't want the windblown look? :)

Isn't this just how it goes.
Mom is always trying to rally the troops for one more picture and she's the only one not looking at the camera.
I can't tell you how many family pictures there are of my little family where I am doing just that same thing....
actually, I think that it makes for a great "capture" photo.
It is just as life is.

 

Senior Portraits: Emma

This was, seriously, one of the absolute BEST sessions that I have ever had!
I had so much fun because Emma was so much fun.
She was up for anything and she had ideas about places and poses;
she had great outfits and acessories and she is just an all-around gorgeous girl!
(plus she had some seriously awesome shoes too!)
Enjoy this little tidbit from her session!

Family Portraits: The Gallegos Family

I had such a great time!
We gathered to really take Emma's Senior Portraits (next post!!!!) and were able to take some family portraits as well.
Everyone was so willing to try different poses and I am just so happy with the whole session!
Here's just a little sampling...

Tambasco Family

Can we saw Awwww-esome?!?!

This was literally the best session for me.
Not only did I get to take pictures in a stunning location; but I got to take pictures of my utmost-favortie "non" family.

The reason I say "non" family, is because the Tambasco clan is practically my family.

My parents met Chris & Sherlyn in the '80's when my folks had four kids and they were newlyweds with no kids.
We figured out during this shoot that I was about 8 when we met and it's been a party ever since.

Whenever we go out to Utah to visit family, we always make time for the Tambasco's

So when a few of the sister's asked me to take their family pictures, I suggested that we make a it an all-family affair and do a large one.

I had the absolute BEST time!

My sister was my assistant, and I couldn't have asked for a better one (too bad she lives in the Seattle area or I'd be using her all the time!).

Lo-lo-lo-LOVE this shot of the sunflowers and the glow!!!! So adorable!

Dan + Lisa = Soren & Lily

I had so much fun trying to corral a little 2 1/2 year-old into taking pictures!
And a BOY at that!
(I have my own challenges with getting boys to cooperate for pictures...)
But that little fella was a trooper and a total cutie.
Thankfully my camera was snap, snap, snapping and we got some great memories.
Mom and Dad were great at just smiling and going along with every moment.

I had given Soren a penny to keep secret while we were taking pictures. It was fun to see him get excited when I'd ask him where his penny was.

We mustn't leave little Miss LIly out of the fun.
I took her newborn pictures a few months ago and she is still just as cute as ever...
she was so sweet, even though she was wanting to take her nap.

Soren was DONE here....but he was still totally adorable and as you can see, as photogenic as ever!
