The Woodbury Family

funny thing about the world, it's so small. my sister and i went to school with two of the woodbury's together. i don't think brian and i ever hung out, but we knew eachother and sometimes sat at the same tables for lunch. michelle (my sister) graduated with brian's sister dana and even roomed with her at efy - where they introduced me to their counselor, the man i later married. my hubby kyle went to school with jill, the oldest woodburry. now, two of my younger sisters are going to school with the youngest - allison. it's funny to look back at all the times our circles overlapped.

this is the reason i always wanted a son first. i just know he'll be a great protector and he's already so sweet to his baby sister. love it. my favorite from th whole shoot:

all th ladies. they look so much alike, except for michelle.

the third 'grandbaby' is jet, michelle and jesse's first.

one of my favorites. love the color.

how sweet is she?! seven weeks old and so tiny!

nothing beats a boy and his dog.

Tellez Family 2010

i loved meeting with the tellez's again. last year when i took their family pictures, raena was pregnant with the little man and now he is huge! and the sweet baby girl i took pictures of last year wasn't a little baby and more. make me sad to think about because my little addison isn't too much younger than this adorable one: and i chased her around just like i do addy. don't you LOVE those pigtail buns? i do!

this little man was uber chuncky and had the most beautiful brown eyes! can't wait to have one of my own someday.

so cute. so fun. thanks guys!

Growing Up: The McCleve's

i took pictures for my family last week and maybe it's just because i'm pregnant, but i thought it was somewhat difficult to set up the scene push the timer and run into the picture. i don't know if any other photographers are experts at this, but without a remote i imagine not many photographers attempt it. definitely time for me to get one.

of course my whole family was late for the pictures (mccleve standard time) so we didn't get to take more once we changed into a casual outfit. these are my favorite - no blinking eyes, blurred hands, or mean looks into the camera. and hopefully next time i'll remember to feed addison before the shoot starts so she isn't crying so much. next time i'll have two babies to worry about, but who stresses over pictures right?

look at that tongue:
24 years of marriage, 6 daughters, 2 son in laws, and 1 1/2 grandbabies - that's amazing to me!

below: those still left at home. my dad is still surrounded by more girls than most men will ever be. many call him a saint.

maybe next time these two will add a third grand baby to the photo - hint, hint michelle!

The Sovereigns

i took some of the sovereign's pictures near the pecans on a path that i'm sure many other photographers know about but i had never seen. it was a beautiful path lined with trees and shrubbery. if only it snowed in the valley, then it would be perfect for a bridal session in the snowy wonderland.

aren't these trees gorgeous? could you see a snow scene here? the sovereign's pictures turned out beautiful, i had a great time taking their pictures.

how about now? i think black and white helps to see how it could look in the winter with snow. can you picture a family session with mittens, scarves, and a snowman?

thanks guys, beautiful family.
