Brady & Harper

When I met Brady and Harper, and mom, of course, at this beautiful house all decked out in Christmas decorations, I had so many ideas for the pictures I wanted to get. The tree was enormous, so we tried to get them to sit together. Well, that didn't exactly fly with Harper too much. And really, kids being kids, they just wanted to play. So, mom, Stacey, and I were sliding things back and forth having our own makeshift backgrounds to get a more appealing shot, as they checked out the toys, and I think they turned out pretty well. After all, the unexpected shots are the good ones...

Brylee Butts

This is Brylee. She's two, and when her mom called wanting pictures because Brylee didn't like sitting in a studio, I was wondering how we were going to do this so that she didn't get upset having a camera in her face. Well, I must say, she did wonderfully! She has these huge eyes that just pull you in. For someone who doesn't like having her picture made, she did a great job!

Harrison & Easton

These two boys are the same age as my Jude and Levin. They are in our Awana program together at church and are getting to be good friends. The weather was supposed to be around 50 degrees, but the wind made it feel like 20. We finally decided to head inside to see what we could do indoors, and I think they turned out pretty well. Hope you like them, too.

And we couldn't leave out Lucy...

Troy

You may remember Troy from a few months ago, late summer. Her mom is my yoga teacher, which I have excitedly gotten back to classes. I couldn't believe how much Troy had changed in just a few months! She is still as beautiful as ever, and those eyes...ah, will just make you melt! These are a few of my favorites...

I think this is my favorite...those eyes...

Mike & Amy Littlejohn with Cannon & Cason

Dr. Mike is my family's doctor, and has gotten to know my Jude & Levin pretty well. Amy is Jude's math teacher and just loves him. I was a little nervous going to their house to take pictures, because I had only been around them in a professional setting, except for the pool a couple of times over the summer. I was happy to see they were as easy going and normal as anyone else. Cannon and Cason are their two little boys and they did so well. Cason wasn't really going to fool with me taking his picture, he was too busy running around, but I think I caught him looking at me a few times and was able to get more than the back of him running away from me. Cannon was wonderful, all in all. I had a great time with all of them! Amy and Dr. Mike, I hope you like the ones I picked...

Erin

I photographed Erin's wedding back in October and after all was said done, Erin's mom decided she wanted a picture of Erin all by herself. We went out this past Sunday after we had stuffed ourselves at the Country Club's buffet. It was 50 degrees outside and poor Erin nearly froze to death. She picked these three photos for her mom to choose from, so Lucy, I hope you find one you like.
