Burks Family

This poor family has been so patient in waiting for thier pictures. I finished them a month or so ago, but got caught up with life's craziness and forgot to blog them. Good thing I've known Mom and Dad since 7th grade so they're a bit more than understanding. Regardless, I really want to share this sweet family with you.

Let's start with the boys. Full of good sports, big brothers Jacob & Jared put up with all my poses. Littlest brother Daniel had a blast just running around Fresno State.

This family has had a rough year to say the least. What I love though, is that through it all they are working together through trials and below is the result. Wonderful togetherness. Especially special because just weeks after these pictures, Dad had to report out of state for military duty and may be getting deployed back overseas.

One of my favorite things to try to do at a photosession is to grab unexpected moments. I especially love this one below.

Thanks Steve & Jennifer for your patience and for spending the afternoon with me, my camera and crazy little family!

It's Going to be a VERY Merry Christmas for the Kraft Family!

My most recent session had me being an "on-call" photographer. First we had to keep our fingers crossed that Miss Carridy would decide to come into this world in time for holiday pictures. Then we had to contend with Mother Nature who nearly decided to rain us out. Thankfully things were on our side and Miss Carridy came in plenty of time to grace me with her beauty and Mother Nature held off raining Sunday morning just long enough for some fun family photos!

What could make for a better Christmas present than a newborn?

Big Brother Colsen is certainly excited about this present!

Seriously ONE HAPPY and BEAUTIFUL family!

And I'll leave you with one last photo teaser as to hopefully not give away their entire Christmas card! Here's to a VERY Merry Christmas Kraft family!

AOY 09 Banquet

Thank you to all those who ordered pictures at the Airman of the Year banquet. It was a lovely evening. Pictures are FINALLY available for viewing. Prints will be delivered to the base next week. Click HERE to view your photos.

Ross Family

Some of you may recognize this lovely family. You could find them here, and here. When I first started taking thier pictures it was just of the little guy, "Peanut". Next I got to photograph big brother and sister for some fun sibling shot. Finally this time around I got to "torture" Mom and Dad and take full family pictures! For a change of scenery we headed out to Woodward Park for a lovely fall day.

Just had to take pictures of these two by themselves. It's always fun to photograph couples, even if they are reluctant to do kissy pictures for me. ;)

Just the boys

Just the girls.

I seriously love sibling groups! Maybe it's because I come from a big family, but I think the dynamics of siblings is just great.

Look how grown up little "Peanut" is now!

Thank you Ross family as usual for a lovely, easy photo session! Thanks for your patience in waiting for this preview. The full session will be posted soon. Enjoy!

Mills Family

I have fallen in love with this family. First they scouted out a prime new location for fall family pictures and then they were just so darn photogenic! It made my job so incredibly easy. Just see for yourself.

LOVE how sweet Christian is looking back at me.

Seriously, how could you NOT fall in love with this family.

Christian is such a good big brother! An absolute love.

And check out beautiful Miss Kate. Perfect baby sweetness.

Thank you Mills family for finding a fabulous new spot and for letting me to capture memories of your lovely family, it truly was my pleasure!

Stephanian Family

The Stephanian's are indeed all about family. I had the fabulous pleasure of taking pictures at their home in the country. Gorgeous Victorian home with a porch swing (!!!) and a fun family, can it get much better?

We took full advantage of having grandparents join us too, proving that even though we get older, we'll always be our parents little boy or girl. Just check out this sweet father daughter combo.

And here's Dad with his sweet mom.

Can't leave out the boys. Something tells me that they can cause a lot of trouble together!

Then you've got Mom's parents, who I've known since I was in grade school.

Nothing much sweeter, than 3 generations of ladies.

Since I grew up in the country, I had to chuckle at the kids who weren't too sure about sitting or laying on the ground in the orchard. they were good sports though and I hope they see that it was worth the extra leaves in their hair!

Big brother Jared, who is in high school, was kind enough to let me torture him with the camera for a bit.

He has to be a good sport with younger siblings, especially twins!

Miss Kaylee and her sweet smile.

And who could miss Zach who was more than willing to ham it up a bit for the camera.



And then at the end of the day, there's Mom & Dad who link this family together. Lots of love and lots of fun equal a winning team!
