The Hupp Family

The three beautiful children came into the studio yesterday for a photoshoot that was long overdue.  They were a blast to work with, smiling their cute smiles and not complaining about one thing.  I think they even surprised mom with how well the shoot went!  Here's a peek from our shoot...

Carmelita is One

Another one of my first year collection babies is turning one!  I cannot believe how fast time flies...It feels like just yesterday her family was in for her newborn shoot...now she's a big one year old with beautiful blue eyes and curls.  She wasn't too sure of me at first but let me sneak a few smiles out of her...oh, and play with my new raspberry petticoat!

Catching up...

As some of my frequent blog-checkers have informed me...I am letting them down! I haven't blogged for a month and I can't tell you where that month went except that I spent a majority of those days right here at my computer, usually for 15+ hours a day...not blogging of course but creating holiday cards, editing, designing, uploading, downloading, and all that comes with the job. Here were the last few sessions I did in November:

These are my little sisters and of course my mom waited until the weekend after Thanksgiving to ask me to take their pictures, so of course I obliged...a quick outdoor shoot at the park near my home.  I was so happy with how these turned out, and these are just a few!

and this was the front of their Christmas Card this year that I surprised my mom with.

Just two weeks before this shoot I met up with the Palmers for a family shoot and Greyson's birthday shoot and now his little sister Gwen is here!  Oh my, I LOVE my new elf hat and we got the perfect shot in daddy's hands.  I bet they had the best Christmas this year. 

I got to see miss Kate for her 4 month shoot and she brought along her grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncles and cousins to the shoot.  I've known this family since elementary school and it was so fun to see them all again!  The shoot went great, the kids cooperate, even though Kate normally would have been napping at the time of the shoot.

And some more...

This was my first shoot with the Phelps family and I visited them at their home downtown.  It was a chilly morning so we did some outside and then headed into the warmth to finish up after a quick meal for little Eleanor!  She was such a cutie pie!!!

Adara is one and I can't believe her first year is over :(  I've seen her many times over the past year and she was such a trooper for this shoot.  It was a bit chilly outside but we made it out for some family shots and then headed in doors for more.  Her big sister Naveah must be getting used to me becuase she knew exactly what to do!

Little Mr. Bronx came in for his photoshoot with his big sister Ashtyn and I had such fun time.  He was a little doll and slept almost the entire time and big sis did her thing for most of the shoot and decided she wanted in on the action towards the end, which was perfect!!!

The Hendrick's family was actually a surprise shoot for my husbands aunt and uncle who were celebrating a birthday and a milestone anniversary. 

More Family Holiday Shoots...

As promised, I'm trying to get blogging so my families can see a few images from their sessions.

The first family is actually my neighbors kiddos.  We loaded up in my van and I took them to Elkhorn this year for their photo shoot.  They did such a great job and it was fun for me to surprise their mom with what we got!  Here's a peek:

The Flodine's came in for a newborn shoot for their little girl.  She had a fabulous first photoshoot at 6 weeks old.  She even gave me a few smiles and look at her big brother!  You could tell how proud he was of his little sister.  Here's a few from our shoot...

Last week, the McCarville's came  into the studio with Landon's grandparents and aunt for a family shoot.  Landon is already 4 months old and I can't believe how much he's grow  from his first photo shoot.  I love doing generational pictures because I know how valuable these images can be on a different level than regular photoshoots.  Here are a few from his shoot.

Rock Solid...

Brandon came into the studio earlier this month for a photo shoot unlike any I've done before.  He is a body builder and was asked to submit photos to Reps magazine for the Urban Muscle spotlight.  He has competed and placed in many competitions including; 1st place Junior Master Team USA and 2nd place men's open Team USA. The shoot turned out to be just what he wanted...so I wanted to share a few:

Family Holiday Shoots in Full Force

This holiday season has been quite a busy one and with that being said, I am a few weeks behind on blogging.  Here's a bit of what' I've been up to.

The O'Mara's came in two weeks ago for a family picture and Kinsley's 6 month pictures.  She was a little doll and even got in a little nap during the shoot.

The Freelands met me at Zorinsky and thankfully it was a nice day out.  We were also shooting family pictures and Will's one-year-old pictures.  He was such a handsome little guy!

The Palmers and I met at Lanoha for Greyson's two-year-shoot, family shoot and as they were expecting a new little girl to arrive any day, a few belly pictures! I had fun playing with Greyson and letting him chase me around to stay warm!  He also got to show me the cool cars and trucks his grandpa made for him....

I also met the O'Briens at Lanoha and though it was a cold Sunday morning, we all toughed it out, red noses and all!  Kaden and Karter have gotten so big since I last saw them!  Here's a few from our shoot...
