The A. family and their new arrival

It was a cold day. The sun was out and the wind wasn't too brutal. The A family got on their coats and we scurried outside. The girls warmed the cold day up with their genuine smiles and giggles. They took their coats off and grinned their biggest. After we got the family shot we headed indoors for a few more photos indoors.

These two boys have three big sisters to look out for them and keep them in check. It's fun to watch them interact together. Lily (in green) has the most precious expression as she carefully holds her baby brother.

The A. Family

On a Sunday after church I got the A. family together. You probably can't tell here, but it was extremely cold! I got everything set up and had them run out, take their coats off, pose and quickly get their coats back on. They were very patient with me. Aren't their girls and son adorable?!
I love them.

The S. family

Here is the S. and A. family. My Aunt, Uncle and cousins. My aunt coordinated the colors and outfits. She did a great job. I took their photos in our yard on thanksgiving, too. My little cousin Emmie is growing up so fast and she is adorable! She's a sweetie and a Momma's girl. Don't you just love the nature foliage?

The L. Family

I was able to take my aunt, uncle and cousin's Christmas photos. We had them over for Thanksgiving and we did these in our back yard. I was happy that we had a little fall foliage for our back drop.
They were very patient with me. Don't they make a nice family?

The B. Family

I had a delightful time taking photos of the B family. My mom and I went to their neighborhood lake with them surrounded by beautiful scenery. They are a patient and tremendously sweet family.
Didn't they pick their colors out nicely, too? 

Newborn Session: Mary Evelyn

 

Here is my precious cousin Mary Evelyn. (Emmy for short) She was such a beautiful baby to capture. She slept a lot and was very easy to pose. My aunt Jaime and uncle Bob have the best house for photos. Good light, cute props, stylish decorating and of course they're the ideal people to take photographs of.

Generations

These two are a little more than one hundred years age difference. My great grandma Evelyn Dray and my cousin Mary Evelyn. I call them G.G. and Emmy. Both are dear to me. I've know my great grandma my whole life. She'll be one hundred and one in less than a month. She is very determined, thoughtful, and strong. All who know her are amazed by how ambitious she is. I love her so much.

Even though Mary Evelyn hasn't been out in the world for long she is adorable and full of personality. I can't wait to get to know her better as she grows.

It's so precious and special to visualize two different generations. G.G. has lived through so much and seen so much. She's been through a century of time. Just imagine if Mary Evelyn lives just as long. What will she have seen?

More pictures of baby Mary Evelyn to come! Keep on the look out.
