G Family Pictures and an unlikely location

Family pictures at a shooting range? Yes please! :) We were completely safe, and I love all of the different colors and textures that were there. Not to mention the mountains and the views, and of course this super cute family!!

Just a couple a' kids..

Oh boy, these kids are so adorable aren't they? I just love their bright eyes in these photos!! You may remember them from THIS photo session from last year.

Extraordinary Session

My friend asked me for a favor...to take some photos of a family that she knew of. Now this family is in a different position than a lot of us. 2 out of the 4 kids have hearing issues, so does their dad and on top of all of that..their mom is dying of cancer. Suddenly everything that typically goes on with photo sessions didn't seem to matter at all. I'm sure they weren't so worried about how they were going to coordinate their clothing perfectly, or how their hair looked. I'm sure they didn't think about the perfect location, or even how they were going to decorate their home with these new pictures. What mattered most to them was getting pictures of their beautiful family, and more importantly capturing memories with their mom. I also want to say how impressed I am with the oldest child "J". He helps every single person in his family with everything, and is such a blessing to them. I was very impressed with him!! I am so honored to be able to photograph this family, and to be able to share a bit of them with you.

Extended Family Shoot

I have only ever done one other large group photo session, and I was SO nervous the first time. This time I wasn't nervous, just ready to go! I had some ideas of what I wanted to do with posing all the grandkids, and adults. This was SUCH a fun session, I really did have such a great time with everyone! I couldn't wait to get home and start editing! Get ready for a lot of pictures, I have too many fav's to choose from!
