{The “S” Family Grandkids} Little Pals Photography

I was recently contacted by a member of the “S” Family looking for a last minute shoot. They were on a tight schedule and we only had a small window of time when they all would be together in town for a Surprise Birthday Party…….. SURE HOPE the surprise party went well! I will have to say it was the first time a client ever brought their own Dslr camera to a shoot …….( btw Thanks for letting me borrow your wide angle lens because now I want to trade my current wide angle in for one like yours! ) Here are a few of the images we captured from our short session. Such a great looking group of kids! OOPS excuse the Senior watermark on the kid pic……. grabbed the wrong watermark action……

I got the pleasure of photographying this beautiful family once again.

Hard to believe its been almost 3 years since they were here last….

The little boy in the pics will turn 3 in October and one of his newborn pics still has a special place in my heart and on my business cards He was one of my best ever sleepers at a newborn session. I believe he slept thru the whole process and made my job so easy. Mom tells me that was the last time he slept that well for almost 2 years! Guess I got REALLY lucky!

Big Sister has grown into a pretty young girl and was my special assistant when I needed her.

This time they welcomed home a new baby girl. She was just the sweetest thing ever. And just like her brother she slept great and when she was awake barely made a peep.

Enjoy these sneak peeks and as usual I cant just choose one or two to share!

Today we had a beautiful day outside. The wind was a bit chilly but much better than we have had in a week or so….

I meet this family at the park for a quick family session to capture a few images of each grouping…….

You may recognize one of them as a recent Senior on my senior website. But I also had the pleasure of having a little boy from when I first began my business come back for this session as well.

I love returning clients! I look forward to capturing more memories for them in the future.

Here is some sneak peeks……….

Well again another month has flown by…… I have been slacking off when it comes to posting sneak peeks or blog posts.

This is no longer a sneak peek as they have already seen their gallery but this family is too cute not to share a few images with everyone.

They were so fun and relaxed to work with. And by the time we left they were saying it was the most fun they had getting their pictures taken!

That is what it is all about………. having fun and creating memories.

While out on locations shooting a senior session I captured a few images of this brother & sister together.

So as not to steal the spotlight from the big brother on his senior images post I decided to post these sneak peeks of them together on my family site instead.

I love traveling to new locations and family homes to capture images of families. Atmosphere is much more relaxed and I think we can see more the true personalities.

Call me today to book your family session!

Here is a few sneak peeks of the brother and sister together………….

As you can see here we tried to capture some family farm history with a little fun mixed in! I played around with a few different color techniques to put a more vintage feel to them. Which one do you prefer?

Tonight was a trip to the park………..

We fought off mosquitos for an hour to grab a few shots of Mother & Son.

Poor guy was full of bites in just the first few minutes. I had to photoshop out a bite on his poor forehead

This mom and son have a special place in my heart and will always be part of the “family”. Love you guys!

Here are a few sneak peeks………… rest are uploading to the proofing gallery now.

Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing the Grandchildren for this family.

Last year when we did family pictures there were only 5 grandchildren and now this year there family has grown and they have 7

It was so fun to see how much the 5 from last year had changed and to meet the new additions.

Here are some of the images I captured.

Almost done with the rest of the gallery. I should have them up for you in a day or so.

Enjoy your sneak peek…………

Today I had the pleasure of photographing The C Family. They stopped by for a few family images.

Not that you can tell by looking at the photo but Dad was quite the joke cracker! Is that a word?

I learned a little about PBR and that doesn’t stand for the adult beverage. HA HA.

And young Miss D I am sure you will be seeing more of her in the years to come.

Here is your quick sneak peek……..

Thought I would share a few pics from this session. We had to do the outdoor portion quickly due to losing the sun.
I think my outdoor sessions will be few and far between until spring unless we get some unseasonably warmer weather.
