My sister: Part 1

I have decided to break down all these images from my beautiful sister’s session into three parts, so here is part 1.

We started in Burlington, at an old abandoned garage. I loved the peeling blue paint and the great texture we got here. There was a problem with incredibly high winds, as I’ve mentioned before, but we worked through it, and it made for lots of laughs as hair and leaves flew around and whipped us in the face… :P But as long as she kept her hair in place and I kept from shaking from the cold, we managed to get these images, which I love.

I love how her scarf adds some great punchy color in the next one:

From there we drove just down the road, on our way to getting lost(!), when we came across this great building. I love the classic lines, not that you can see much of the building in these images. I loved too many of these to narrow them down any further, so I put them in this storyboard.

Thanks for looking :)

Princess B: Part 2

Now that Mom and Dad have all of their images, I thought I’d share a few more of this sweet little girl:

This baby girl is most definitely going to be so loved and cherished (and spoiled :D ) by her mommy and daddy, she has them wrapped around her finger already.

Congratulations guys, we wish you all the best and the LORD’s blessings as you raise her in His Name.

D&L Family Session

This family session took place at the beach in beautiful Spencer Smith Park, after the R&J family session I blogged about earlier. This couple and their beautiful children are part of our close group of friends and it all started back in high school.

L is the most vibrant, loving and thoughtful person you’ll ever meet. She was always the bubbly, energetic kid who chatted constantly. She is so sweet and genuine, if you know her, you love her. Her hubby is the perfect match for her in his calm, practical and smart ways. They are always so fun to be with and L & I have spent hours discussing how to best raise our children or grow our gardens ;)

Here is their beautiful family:

Sneak Peek: My gorgeous sister

So this is my little sis and she is one of the most beautiful people that I know. Not only on the outside, but also on the inside. She has a special quality about her that everyone loves. She is kind and loving, she will do just about anything for anyone,  and she has a strong faith in the LORD to top it off.

I love my sis… and I am scared that she will never come back from her trip to Australia this January. So I thought I would take her out and get some pictures for my kids to remember her by…just kidding! She’s promised to come back and we’ll hold her to that.

We had so much fun on this shoot. This girl has GREAT fashion sense + an incredibly large wardrobe + lots of shoes. We drove around all over the place finding the perfect locations. In the end, despite the high winds and the freezing temperatures,  I had hundreds of photos that I LOVED and I edited them down to about 70…but I simply can’t pick which ones to blog about! There are so many great images. So I think over the next while, whenever I get the chance, I will be adding more to the blog.

For now, here are some of my faves:

J&R Family Session

Steff and I are part of a close group of four girls that bonded in the last year of high school. From different areas and different groups of friends, the four of us found each other and our different personalities all somehow clicked and balanced each other to create a friendship that has lasted years; through graduation, college, jobs, marriages and kids. Without these friends I don’t know where we’d be. Our husbands all get along so great and the kids love to play together. It actually seems as our families grow larger, we see each other more :)

Recently we took these two beautiful families out on a somewhat chilly day for family sessions. The results are beautiful and maybe a little more so to us as they represent people we love so much.

I’ll start with J&R and their sweet little munchkin. She is just over 1 year and such a tiny little thing! She was born the exact same weight as my daughter Eden (7 lbs, 1 oz), and is actually 6 days older, and now she’s about half of Eden’s size :)
