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.
Gideon will be 17 months old, so it’s about time I post some of his photos. Sometimes I think I need to schedule an appointment with myself so I actually get regular, professional photos of my kids. But I never do, and time continues to pass.

ONE YEAR:
That was 5 months ago. Time to book an appointment with his photographer 😉
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.

We concluded our session with a photo of some very special guests. I look forward to our next ‘play date’ 🙂
Family portraits are always so much fun for me. I love having the opportunity to photograph what makes each family unique.
Ian and Tessa are best friends. It’s so sweet to see a big brother that doesn’t just love his sister, but really enjoys being around her.
Tessa wanted to be sure we got a clear shot of her ‘flair’…
And check out Ian’s eyes! Whoa.
In case you are wondering who to congratulate on such cute kids…
Could I have a job more fun than this? I don’t think so.
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!
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 🙂
I was pretty happy with our family portrait. Sure, Gideon is crying- but he does that.
The ‘big kids’ were super cooperative, and very helpful. Oh, and mega cute!

That’s our family. They bring me outrageous amounts of joy 🙂
Could you imagine getting six kids all dressed and ready for a family photo session, while maintaining happy attitudes and a positive outlook on the experience? The Mays family did just that- and were such a fun group to photograph! 
Usually there’s a grumpy one in a family photo session, but not these guys! Each child enjoyed their ‘star’ moment…
Little Shiloh was not only cooperative, but accommodating too.
Isaiah was glad to share his playful personality.
Most 8 year old boys are reluctant to have a picture taken, but Darrell was willing and helpful.
Takai has a beautiful smile, and was pleased to share it.
Sweet Jasiah. Cute, fun, photogenic.
Anjal was all smiles, whether the camera was on her or not.
What a great group of kids! They were such a joy to work with.
Here they are, the people responsible for this amazing bunch. Thanks for a great session, Darrell and Tamara. I look forward to more!
