{D} Family photographs

I had a ton of fun on Friday with this family of seven.  Aren't they adorable?

With five children, we had a tough time getting everyone on the same page at the same time, and mom was worried that we wouldn't get anything good.  They were all troopers and I love how they turned out!  All of those beautiful eyes.

{F} Family Photographs

Summer is supposed to be for lazy days in the sun. Instead I have spent my whole summer packing, unpacking, ripping out a kitchen, putting together a new kitchen (not quite there yet), painting and living without a sink. I haven't had a whole lot of time to laze about and take pictures.

In 1985 when my family moved to California, we moved in next to Shannon and her family. We had so much fun hanging out for several years and then lost contact. When Shannon contacted me to take some casual family shots I was super excited. Isn't her family just darling?

I had so much fun catching up and meeting the family!

Baby {A} Photographs

Can you believe this beautiful hair. Baby {A} was a dream. What a well mannered child. She stayed awake just long enough for some awake shots and then we got her all sleepy and she stayed that way for the rest of the shoot. Can't believe how much she looks like her big sister. I took this family's photographs in the fall before she arrived and I can't wait to update the family shots when baby {A} gets a little bigger!

Dance Recital photographs

I love recital time. This year between the three girls we had seven backstage costume changes. The girls just ate it up. Aren't these adorable costumes?

{S} Grandchildren

It was so fun to see these grandparents with all of their grandchildren. I love doing things like this. Family photographs are such treasures.

Sometimes not all involved are willing, but that can be part of the memory. I don't think my parents have a photograph of all of their grandchildren. Maybe I better get on that! Maybe I will wait until my new nephew and niece are born later this year. Then, it is on.

Don't you love those chocolate brown eyes. Seriously, this makes me want to have another baby.

{N} Baptism

Doesn't she look just like a princess? It scares me to think of the next time she will wear an all white dress...

Baby {E}

I had so much fun last week with Baby {E}. She started out strong, albeit awake, but adorable. She fought us for a while, but we finally got her out, and it lasted about 5 minutes.

Look at all this dark hair. I always wished I would have a baby with lots of dark hair.

I love this one down here at the bottom.  She looks like a three month old, not one less than two weeks.  Oh, the cheeks.

How about this for small world.  Baby's mommy is the little sister to a dear friend from college that I lost touch with.  Took me a bit to figure it out, but so much fun when I put it all together.  Good luck on the move guys!
