Meet the W's!

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful family! We started out in their home, and then headed up the the Rock Castle to snap a couple natural light shots.



"A" is getting ready to leave on a mission, so we had to get a shot of him in his suit!




All the kids! How fun, huh? They were determined to fit everyone in, and I must say they did a pretty good job! Bravo!


"B" is a senior and a sterling scholar, so we squeezed in a couple senior shots. Isn't she GORGEOUS!?


Okay. So... There are some shots I get that look so crazy good with a lot of different finishes on them, but I usually force myself to narrow it down to one. But there are two shots I got of B that I didn't want to choose between. :) So I didn't! Let me know what you guys think of the different finishes!











I personally think this finish looks a bit like the Lord of the Rings movies. The hat, though makes it look a bit more modern, yeah?


We couldn't just go without snapping a couple of the other kids!








Hooray! You all survived! Thanks so much for stomping through the snow with me! :)

The "K" Family

I'm not sure if I can express how completely delightful it was to work with this family! We started out in the studio, and then ventured out into the freezing tundra to try some outdoor shots.







No inlaws in this one... Poor guys...


So "Dad" collects cowboy hats (which, by the way, I think is just about the coolest thing to collect!) and so we had to get a cowboy shot of the guys...


They're hardcore...




Darling? Yeah. That's what I thought. I love giving a prop like this to a toddler and then seeing what they decide to do with it.


Does she look shocked or what? I think I busted up laughing when I first saw this one.








And yes. We had to do a luau shot. And for those wondering--those are not my fantastic Hawaiian shirts. Or my leis. But that would be awesome.


Oh--did I mention that freezing cold tundra? Yeah. You've arrived. Nah. It was a lot of fun. And I like the snow-capped mountings we get in the reflections of these windows. Kind of a cool effect.




J is into acting, so we got a couple head shots. Maybe some day he'll be on Broadway and I can say, "I KNOW HIM!!!!"




Didn't they do a great job pretending they didn't have snow in their shoes? Fantastic.




Yeah. I had to throw this one at the end because I love it. I'm not entirely sure if I got all their heights correct. I didn't measure them all before they left... so... I had to guess. Let me know what you think. Does anyone look funny? (as in too tall, too short, too small.)


Thanks again for a fantastic time! If I meet any real cowboys who are willing to sell their hats we'll be in touch! :)

The C Family!

Holey Moley! This post is a biggie! But totally worth it! This family is fantastic. I can't even explain how much fun it was to work with them. I'm actually not sure if I ever stopped laughing during the shoot. :)



Can you see why???










Oh yeah... did I mention that I love this couch?








Hahah. I've never seen Santa looking so... threatened?? He's probably wondering what happened to the little elf who's hat is being devoured by Little T. :)












Not related, but might as well be. :) The K's slipped in for a quick picture.




J is off to DC for her internship there. Jealous!? Yeah. That's what I thought.


Mom and Dad...


I wish I had some pajamas like this...




I LOVE this shot. I love all the colors popping out. Yum. I may or may not have drooled over some of those cute coats... :)


Thanks again for a great time, and thanks for being patient! With painting my house, Christmas, and my two-year anniversary, they had to wait a couple days extra for their pictures. THANKS!
