The Larson's

I have known this fun family for a couple of years now and they are some of my favorite people! Not only that, but after the session Julie made indian tacos!! (that'll win me over any day of the WEEK!!) What an amazing family... with so much love for eachother! (if you couldn't already tell by their awesome winter pictures!) These are some of my favorite family pics of the season, just because they were brave enough to stand in the cold for a half hour while we got these pics! Thanks guys.. you are awesome!!

The Haskell's

My second set of twins!! Can you believe it? :) These two girls just stole my heart along with their big sister and baby brother, Cowboy! How cute is that? I was able to spend some extra time with them because I drove out of town for their session - so we got to do some really fun stuff! Anywhere from playing with barn yard animals to dancing in the window light!!! It was so fun seeing the dynamics of the home and how the kids really love eachother! What a great family!

The Keller's!

This blog is much overdo... you can't even see any SNOW! Because there wasn't any... not even close! :) I had lots of fun with this incredible family - and their beautiful children! The only trick was making sure the dog was looking... and he even did great! :) and out of it they got some really fun downtown family pics!! What a riot!! :) I miss the fall...!!

Christmas Time

For a little something different - and to get out of the blasting cold snow! I photographed this amazing family in their beautiful home!! :) I really enjoyed getting to know them and their grandkids! (I've gotten to photograph them before... !! They are stinking cute... !!)

Trent & Ashley

What a wonderful couple and their first baby!!! I am SO so soo soooo excited to meet him. :) Trent and Ashley have been long time friends of Joe and mine... and we've felt like we are walking through this with them like its our first time... (but of course its not) hehe. I know their little guy is a week from coming!! Can you believe it?! I'm super excited. I'm sure there will be updated pics of him soon :) hehe. Love you guys!! You are going to make GREAT parents.

The Olson's

This was my first adventure photographing twins... and was it ever fun. I think the girls took it too easy on me! But are they ever CUTE!! I could've photographed them all day. :) It was also great to see how their big brother took charge-as he adventured around the river behind them. I pretty much got to follow and see the world through a little boys eyes. :) It was great!
