Adoption Day!

Posted on 2016-08-30 by karynengle

I met the Molony Family at Evolve Aikido, where their son was training with my kids. It was easy to become fond of them, and enjoyed hearing updates on the journey they were on. Their boy, Aidan, was placed in their home- and they began the exhausting but worthwhile process to adopt him. When they were (finally!) given their adoption date, they asked if I would photograph this life changing event.

What an honor to attend and photograph such a special moment. Congratulations, Molony family! What wonderful people this beautiful boy made parents.

The Mays kids were excited to see their grandma and great-grandma, who were visiting California from the mid-west.

Joaquin is 1

Well, I’m always slow to update, so he’s actually almost one and a half!

It was fun chasing him around. I’m sure he’s gotten a better handle on those legs since I last saw him…

I’ve been looking forward to taking photos of this wonderful family for awhile. Even more exciting is that baby number two is growing!

Smith Family

I love taking family portraits for people close to me. Actually, I love taking family portraits for anyone. But I love when I get to capture my family members, and have access to their photos to hang on my wall at will! Here are my brother, sister-in-law, and sweet little nephew and niece.

Ave Family Portraits

Posted on 2014-07-13 by karynengle

As is customary, I have let a lot of time pass since I last shared. I went through my photo library and had to make a tough call on which beautiful family I would post. These two cuties caught my eye…

Their photo session was done in their back yard. They have a fun playhouse/fort, I love the color! Here they are with their beautiful mom and proud dad…

Such a joy to have photographed- thank you, Ave family!

Totah Family Portraits

Posted on 2014-04-05 by karynengle

I am so slow at updating. My busiest month for family photos is November- and I’m posting this session in April! It’s so silly- I love my families, and this one is no exception. Some day I’ll get faster at sharing!

Here they are- the Totah family!

Grayson and Sami were so fun, I really enjoyed taking their photos.

Newborn Baby Alec

Posted on 2013-07-09 by karynengle

Well, I haven’t been great at updating. I had a lot of fun doing this photo shoot- and it was 8 months ago! Talk about being behind!

Meet Alec, if you haven’t already. If you know this little guy, he is much bigger now…

When they are new, they are so soft and squishy.

We have to appreciate everything about their tiny little features.

His mom knows to give plenty of kisses, time passes so quickly!

Annual Family Portraits: Engle Family

Posted on 2013-02-04 by karynengle

Every year my husband and I try to take our family portraits sometime between Thanksgiving and the first week of December. This year, I was uncomfortably large. We were anticipating the birth of our 5th child in December- so we decided to wait until he arrived. Well, he held out longer than I had expected, arriving on December 22. In ten years, I hadn’t missed sending out Christmas cards. This year, I did. But we did get cards sent out- they just said ‘Happy New Year’ instead 🙂
