Kendal is ONE!

this pretty little lady is the one who started it all and now she has just celebrated her FIRST birthday. she was the first baby i photographed besides my own children after i got my new camera and fell in love with photography. maybe i fell in love with it so much because i had such a beautiful subject. if you want to see her new born photos click here.
kendal is an on the go kind of girl. she loves to be outside so it was tough to keep her down for long.
but look at how sweet she is when you get her to freeze for just a second. i just cant get over her beautiful hair and eye lashes. she is going to have hair to die for as she gets older.
so happy!
movin again
she loves her baby doll
here she thought i was so funny. i am not sure what got her laughing so hard but i just love her expression.

outfit change. these red doors were so fun.


exploring. she wants to see and touch and explore everything she comes across. i just love this age.
oh those eyes just melt me. if they melt you too, leave baby kendal a comment. 10 or more comments earns her a free 8X10. thanks for looking.

wow! this was a cold day. makes me cold just thinking about it. it was about 16 degrees so we didnt stay out for long. this group of people are near and dear to me as they are my parents and my children. we did a quick mini session with them while they were here visiting after christmas. because it was so cold it was VERY quick. my hands were FROZEN it was hard to hold on to the camera.

after the got the kids back in the car i took a few of mack and mom and dad too. i think these turned out really well. kenzie is getting so grown up.

love you guys!

Greer family Christmas...

I got to come back over and document the growth of little Caleb the week before Christmas. It is hard to believe how fast they grow and change in just a few short months. Russ and Ashley are great parents and are always entertaining. Russ is a funny guy but also a very talented musician so he and Caleb sung a few songs for me while i was there.

happy smiles
just chatting with mom and dad around the christmas tree.

caleb loves his play mat and all the little toys that dangle in front of him.
i just love these next few. look at how ashley is touching his face so tenderly...
man, they love this boy!!
thanks for having me over guys. we love your little family!

its beginning to look a lot like christmas...

This past weekend I was asked to come and take some pictures for some friends. His parents were in town from Iowa for a visit so it was nice to capture some moments between the grandparents and grandkids. They decorated the christmas tree and then braved the cold and headed outside for a few shots.
It is so fun to be a kid at Christmas time. Just look at his face!

family love

i had the awesome pleasure of photographing some great friends and their families today. we had the whole crew... grandparents from both sides. it truly was a family affair. here is a little teaser from their session. ok well maybe a big teaser... it is just to hard for me to narrow it down.

the fab 4... nathan, amy, hudson and clara
the entire crew
even jackson is in the picture

baby girl and those big blue eyes coming for me.


those eyes are amazing
they were trying to play ring around the rosie to get hudson to be a part of the picture. i think i like this even better. the adults playing while hudson does the "all fall down" part :)

once the kids had enough of the camera the grandparents helped watched the babies while i took a few shots of just nathan and amy
they are beautiful people

grandparent love!
