Carrying on with the Best of 2009 series... I bring you, my twelve favorite family images of 2009. (I can barely believe that I could narrow it down to twelve)
In any case, here they are. All bursting with love, laughter and joy. Beautiful.
Tis the season for fabulous families.
It was cold, so cold that little Ayla wasn't having so much fun. Her little hands were so cold! Poor thing! Emmitt however, was all smiles!
Such a great bunch and another fabulous addition to my last sessions in 2009.
Enjoy the last few days of November, before you know it, it's Christmas... then New Years... then wedding season again... (oh wait... and NEW BABY somewhere in there too!)
Here is a few of my favorites from such a sweet little session.
Meet sweet Ayla
And her poor little cold hands.
Here's adorable Emmitt
Look at these perfect colors!
And these beautiful people!
I'll leave you with this sweet little image.
You can't possibly not fall hilariously in love with these wildly spirited, song singing, arm waving, bird chasing girls! These girls are blessed with being surrounded by inspired creative creatures and you can clearly see that it has rubbed off on them! Imagination is one of the most spectacular gifts of childhood, and when you have grown ups around that encourage imagination and art and life and laughter... it clearly shines. Especially through the lens of a camera.
Have a look at some of my favorites from our fun filled session.
Meet the oldest of these three gals, Rhys. Fun loving, full of imagination and magic.
Meet Avery. The highly spirited, wild child of the bunch.
Meet Maryn. Seriously sweet, always smiley and ready to cuddle.
Yes, I realize her eyes are closed, but I just think it adds to her absolute sweetness. A fleeting moment. A blink.
Grammie came along to help wrangle the small people, and of course I forced her into a photo!
I'll leave you with this image of each little creature, doing their own thing.
The sun is shining... thats my cue to get outside. Have a fabulous weekend everybody!
Smile at a stranger, pay for someone's coffee unexpectedly, sing for no reason, create a craft with a child, dance in the shower and walk your dog.
At times, when you least expect it... the sun will surprise you on the west coast, and shine. Out of nowhere, out of what seems like a never ending sea of dark clouds, the sun is hiding somewhere. Occasionally it will tease you with a ray here or there, and sometimes, if you're really lucky... it will just up and burst through the clouds. Seemingly reminding you that it was there all along.
Boys will surprise you too. They are like the sun. Their smiles can be just as elusive, their moments in front of the camera are certainly as fleeting as the west coast sunshine. And every bit as beautiful. Oh, Matthew and Liam, you gave me a run for my money... but I caught you still.
10 pounds! Thats how big the adorable Blake was when he was born, not too long ago!!! You may remember this beautiful bunch from our maternity session. Have a peek at this amazing bunch now!
