The Hawes Family

Meet the Hawes family!  We battled the a very windy day and started a little late.  Despite the crazy circumstances we had fun and captured the fun of this family.  

Thank you for selecting me to capture this moment in your families time!

The Amad's

Meet the Amad's.  Kelly and I have been friends for many years and were so excited to finally arrange a photo shoot with her beautiful husband and family.  After a quick reschedule thanks to a desert windstorm, the stars finally aligned and most of the kids were even happy about it!

 Letting loose and showing a bit of true personalities!

This is Ryan Kelly's little Man Ryan when he was a he is just a few weeks older then my niece Sydney, we used to hold out that he would be family one day!

Kelly and Bobby thank you for sharing your amazing family with me, it was fun seeing all of the personalities you live with!

The Collins Family

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with the beautiful Collins family at Floyd Lamb State Park.  When Crystal contacted me her goal for the shoot was a picture with both of her boys looking at the camera.  Joey 11 is a fun energetic boy with autism, and Wyatt 10 mo. old has recently discovered walking and is never in one spot long.

This was one of my first pictures mission accomplished now we could have fun!

 Looking at the hand hold so precious to see the connection between these two!

Okay so they may not be looking but I think it is okay, maybe even amazing!

Wyatt 

Look at those teeth!

I am in love with those eyes!

Joey

Look at those handsome brown eyes!

As soon as we laid out the blanket he sat down and looked right at me "cheese" I thought this was supposed to be hard.

 Since the boys did a great job we had a chance to work on the bonus family pictures!

The beautiful fall colors have nothing on the beauty of this family!

The bond between these two is beautiful!

And so it this one!

They loved tickling and tackling Daddy!

Crystal and Eric thank you for choosing me to capture this moment in your families life.  I had a great time getting to know your family!

Becky and Emma

Last week I was able to shoot one of my favorite families Becky and Emma.  I can't believe our first shoot was 5 years ago.  It is amazing how much Emma has grown.  As you can see the mother daughter love between these two is amazing.   Take a peek at our first shoot http://luannw.blogspot.com/2007/11/becky-gs-family.html

I love the love between these two (these moments happen with our without the camera)

Emma

Becky

Beautiful

They brought their beautiful dogs with them to the shoot.  Blackjack and Princess loved the huge park and all of the birds.

 The whole family

A small giggle break Emma might be growing older but I hope she stays forever young like her momma!

 Beautiful!

Who said trees are just for kids?

 BEAUTIFUL!

Like a said they are full of love.

 ... and fun!

 A little break to be a kid and play with the birds.

Becky and Emma thank you a great day in the park.  As always it is fun to play with you two!  The biggest challenge is to stop laughing long enough to take the pictures.

The Galey's 2012

Saturday I had fun in the park shooting one of my favorite families.  I love Holly and her family I have been capturing her family since the twins were a big baby bump.  This year was a special shoot Holly came to a fundraiser I was doing for the Alzheimer's Walk and she won the photo shoot.   Thank you for the support to our team Holly!

This was one of the first picture I took of the family I knew it was going to be a fun afternoon!

 I love this one!

 Their daughter Acacia took this picture of her mommy and daddy!

 Playing chase with daddy

 Collecting pinecones with mommy

 Funny thing last time I spent with the Galey's Acicia did not want her picture taken my how time changes.

 So serious NOT!

The look like they are in deep conversation.

 Kyden found some puppies to love on in the middle of the shoot.  

 Dawson was laying on the table in protest all of a sudden he rolled over laughing.

 How can you not love these eyes!

Thank you Holly, Shawn, Acacia, Kyden, and Dawson for a great morning in the park, I love being part of capturing your family as you grow and change.  Thank you also for supporting a cuase so close to my heart!
