Ahh, to be 13!

I love 13 year olds! All the giggling, and whispering, and running off together to the restroom every few minutes to check their hair. My good friend's daughter turned 13 and decided to have a "photo shoot" for her birthday. I have known this girl since the day she was born, and even before then! I consider this family as my second family, I call myself the crazy aunt, and they all would pretty much agree! The girls had so much fun posing and hamming it up for the camera. The majority of the poses were their ideas, and the locations made the pictures even more fun! I had a hard time sorting through the 550+ pictures I took, as both of their young ladies are extremely photogenic, thus making my job that much easier! Gosh, Golly, I love these! Look out middle school, here they come! Their parents ought to invest in bars for their windows and deadbolts for their doors! These girls will break plenty of hearts one day!
(By the way, I so wasn't this cute when I was 13...I was way awkward and geeky!)

I Love It!

My camera is a Godsend! It has connected me with friends both old and new. This last weekend I had the chance to catch up with a good friend from highschool (whom I hadn't seen since highschool mind you) and take some pictures of her adorable little family! It was a blast, and tonight as we got together to look at pictures, time just flew by and we picked up chatting and catching up on the years. It was so good to reconnect, and I am glad I had the opportunity to share my love of photography with her family. As she would tell you, I had a camera with me all the time in highschool, so a little hobby has turned into a passion. I love being behind the camera and trying to capture each moment, and I think we got some good ones this last weekend. Even if the time change made the little one cranky, it was well worth every photo. Frozen in time, thankfully not frozen in November! Thank goodness for the beautiful fall weather! Enjoy!

My "Other" Family

I have known this family since they were a family of 2, now look at them! I have officially dubbed myself a part of their family, and supposedly they don't mind! I even helped name the youngest kiddo, so really she wouldn't have a name without me, therefore, I am part of their family whether they like it or not! ;) I have enjoyed watching these kids grow up, and their parents are in for it for sure when the girls reach dating age, which I believe maybe around 40. I loved meeting up with this family on a frigid fall morning and taking their pictures. There were so many good ones to choose from, I could dedicate a site just to them! However children being children, and teens being teens, some looked fabulous... until I zoomed in, only to find crossed/lazy eyes, and bunny ears. Ah, but it gave me a heck of a good laugh! Enjoy!

Beautiful Autumn Angels

Well, I had the pleasure once again of allowing these 3 beautiful babes to grace the presence of my camera lens. We had quite the adventure trying to get all of them to look at the camera at the same time, while smiling! They did great, and I love the way the pictures turned out. It's been almost 9 months since I last took their pictures, and they have grown and changed in many wonderful and entertaining ways! I hope that you enjoy these pictures, they are priceless!


















My Favorite! And to think she was pouting!
