Schwan Family

Last month my wonderful neighbors got to spend a special day with their entire family! A rarity for sure to have everyone in town, I couldn't help but want to help them capture the moment. Unfortunately due to rainy weather we weren't able to add any of the outdoors to our picture background, but thankfully I now have a portable backdrop that I got to put to good use. They're quite a big group - but lots of fun!

Just the kids and Mom & Dad

The poor grandkids had a full day with a potluck most the afternoon, no nap and then we tired to do group pictures. Overall they were good sports and at least we got a picture of them with their grandparents, even if they were crying.

They're rather cute kids, so who could resist wanting a picture with them.

We took full advantage of the having everyone together that we did small family group shots too.

Thanks guys for putting up with so many pictures! I hope you enjoy them. I know I enjoyed spending the day with your wonderful family!

Rice Family

Recently I had the priviledge to photograph a very sweet family. The Rice family's main focus is on two sweet little boys whom my children hold especially dear. The oldest, Danny, is almost 4 and a favorite playmate to my son. The youngest, Grant is becoming quite the big boy and like my youngest has no fear and keeps right up with big brother! Lots of fun and love is this family!

I was so pleased that Grandma & Grandpa Rice let me take a couple pictures of just them. What a lovely couple, don't you think!

Gotta get some Mom & Dad love too!

Grant is almost 2 and full of spunk! There's nothing that's going to slow this little guy down!

Danny, is just a sweetheart. He's become quite the big helper and looks out for his best friend, his brother, Grant.

Yeah, these boys don't love their grandparents much, can you tell! (wink, wink)

Thanks Rice family for the fun morning! Better go catch up with those boys of yours!

Max!

I had the opportunity to take pictures of a friend's sweet little newborn, Maxwell and I love every chance I can get to play with little ones. Max was just so calm and easy. He didn't mind being the star. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get over earlier than him turning nearly 3 weeks old, but the sweet little newborn yumminess was still just as great!

Just look at that sweet little face!

This is especially for Grandma Scales who has a special connection with Max's dad and bears! Plus, she made the blanket Max is wrapped in! Definitely a well loved little guy!

Baby feet are the best!

Mom can't get enough of her sweet boy!

Neither can Dad!

Big sister, Kirsten is very smitten with the new addition.

Thank you Scales family for letting me play with you all!

Welcome to the world sweet Max!
