A Fun Family

A few weeks ago, Stacey contacted me in regards to photographing her family. When she says family, she means FAMILY as in fourteen of them. She not only invited me to take pictures of her family, but to 'graze' as well. And a family that invites me to graze is always a fun family. Let me introduce to you 'four generations of women'. I love this picture: it's full of 'mama's'

Here are four out of five grandkids. The two boys are in college. I asked the girls about their school. My jaw almost dropped when I found out that 'M' (purple shirt) was only THIRTEEN. And 'S' she is seventeen. I was blown away. These young ladies are drop-dead gorgeous! I loved how the girls struck a 'model' pose while the guys went for the 'super-hero' pose. Don't worry Mike, I won't FB this picture to your college. ;)

The whole bunch. It was a special day for a few reasons: 1) it was dad's/grandpa's birthday! (Happy Birthday). 2) it was the day after Christmas, and 3) I hear there was a mean ping-pong tournament waiting to happen after I left.

This family was so photogenic as was everybody. I'm still in awe that 'M' is only 13 years old.

The gallery will be ready shortly. I promise.

Reilly and his Mama

I have been taking pictures of Reilly ever since he was an itty-bitty baby. It's hard to believe he is already 18 months old. His mama wanted to try something different with this photo session, so we planned to go to the beach. Unfortunately, the first appt was cancelled due to a sick little boy. The second appt was cancelled due to weather. Finally, our third attempt worked.

The weather here has been GORGEOUS. We've broken heat records for November. But this Sunday morning, it was cold and windy. Reilly was snug as a bug in the car and wasn't quite yet ready to let go of mama. I love it though, Marisa is such a wonderful mama. She is beautiful inside and out.

At first, Reilly wanted NOTHING to do with me. But then, he started showing me that cute little face of his I always want to pinch and squish and put in my pocket.

And although this session was about Reilly, I think mom deserves to be captured. Her red hair is natural and B E A U T I F U L, as is her smile.

My favorite picture of the day. And probably the last one too. He loved playing in the sand.

Oh that face is so squishable.

On a side note, if you are interested in pictures for Christmas, please call me ASAP. It's already December!
