Daddies

Just so you know, most dads DREAD family pictures. They are always cooperative because they love their wives, but sometimes it is really hard to get them to loosen up . That being said, dads sometimes provide the SWEETEST shots ever! I am so lucky to get to shoot so many cute dads. I seriously sigh when I look at some of these photos. The best part, while I may have sat them somewhere, all of the interactions were 100% daddy driven.

Enjoy!

And my favorite Daddy . . . mine.

Decisions Decisions

The processing of the New Hampshire sessions begin tonight. While I was moving photos from my laptop to my desktop today, I did quickly work on one for Shannon, my friend, host and booking agent. Her children are darling. I especially LOVE this photo. Now I just have to decide which version I want to use on my site. Thoughts?

World's Best Couple (at least one of them)

Last night I got to shoot one of my favorite New Hampshire families. Through a series of events, relationships and friendships they have become yet another fun reason to visit the East Coast.

And their daughter . . . be still my beating heart.

Just ask Sam.

I love how life works out. :)

For those of you who need to order prints, Sam and I take off for the East Coast tomorrow! Since I will not have my files while I am there I will not be able to order until we get back. You can catch me on email or by phone if you have any questions.

We will be busy playing:

and many other cutie friends! Photos coming soon!

What do I wear?!

If you are anything like me, you HATE finding outfits for family pictures. It is a major chore and I never know what to pick. Luckily I watch Studio 5 in Salt Lake all the time and over the holidaysr they focused on this very topic. Here is the link.

Fortunately there are some people like Laci who excel at this sort of thing. My sister's friend Cato can do it too. We recently did photos for her family and Cato did an AMAZING job of coordinating everyone. They also found a wonderful location. You can see their individual photos in the previous post but I thought you might like to see a shot of them all together.

Aren't they the cutest family you have ever seen? I spoke to Cato last night and told her she should consult for families preparing to do family pictures. Guess what? She's in. We haven't worked out all of the details but if you have a shoot coming up and need a little bit of help with clothing choices let me know and I will put you in touch with her. Seriously, this girl is ADORABLE. She'll be styling my next family photo. :)

No Trespassing!!!

Tonight I was able to do pics for the cutest family! The sisters found the perfect location. A sweet lady kindly let us shoot there.

And then her jerk neighbor yelled at us because it is private property . . . just not his. He even tried to tell his dog to eat me. Not cool dude. Not cool.

I know Cato is DYING for pictures so here are a couple sneak peeks at the girl's individual shots. So darling.

Kate

On our trip I was able to do photos for my sister. Her little girl Kate is a crack-up. Anytime you ask her a question she answers by saying "I don't know" followed by the actual answer. For example. If you ask her names is she says, "I don't know . . . Kate." Super funny.

Kate and Aunt Tracey got to go out for our own little photo shoot. This is pretty monumental since up until this trip, she has been pretty shy around me. We had lots of fun. I think she liked the part where we stopped and bought M&M's on the way home. I told her that we had to wait to eat them until after dinner. She gave me a thumbs up and said, "Good idea Tracey."
