The Belford family

Gil and I got to hang out at one of the most gorgeous places last week and photograph the sweet Belford family. Jenni is my dear friend Julianne's sister, and we met their family when we photographed Jenni & Julianne's mom's wedding a few weeks ago. David and Jenni get to spend their summers in Aspen and the school year back in Ohio.

Anyway, we had a lot of fun with their four beautiful kids, Will, Sarah, Emma & Charlie. Sweet, polite and totally adorable kids. We had so much fun chasing them around and photographing them!

Thanks to all of you for a great evening! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek - many more to come!

Massie Family

I love my job. Really. I love working with sweet families and capturing precious moments for them. It's sessions like the one I had with the Massie Family that keep me coming back for more.

It helps a lot that Samson is one of the cutest little boys I've ever seen. What a sweet little man! He is only two weeks older than Ethan, so I'm quite familiar with this age. And he was perfect! He played with his trucks in the leaves and hammed it up for the camera. It was cold, too, and he was a trooper. He didn't care - he just loved being outside playing.

And Mom and Dad were perfect, too. I love sessions where I have to give very little direction. They just played and interacted and we got some great shots.

LOVE his hair!

Can't you just hear the truck noises that Nick is making?!

I love this little sequence of photos. We decided to put Mom and Dad in the background as Samson was playing. Well, he figured out real quick where they were. And I just love the expressions! They were saying that his face was so cute, but I love their faces as they interact with him. So cute!

I actually had to ask Nick not to toss Samson so high in the air - he was going out of the top of the frame! He was loving it, though!

Thanks, Nick, Jessica and Samson, for a wonderful session! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Ryan, Grace, Charlie & Bridger

I photographed these guys about three years ago when Charlie was just a few months old, and I had the pleasure of photographing them again with their new little addition, Bridger. What a sweet family. Bridger is adorable (and the best baby), and I had so much fun photographing Charlie. She is so cute - I just wanted to squeeze her in two!

I LOVE this shot of Charlie! She was amazing in front of the camera - so natural and easy going. She just played and let me capture some great moments.

We did this same photo when Charlie was a baby, so we did it again with the four of them. So cute!

I discovered this when I was editing this photo - this is actually the same photo as above, just cropped. Look closely - I love that you can see my reflection in her eyes! Gorgeous.

Thanks so much, you guys! You are the best! Enjoy.

Cox Family

I had the best time photographing these guys over the weekend. As soon as I walked into the lobby of their hotel and met them all, I knew it was going to be a fun session. And fun it was! These guys are the best! And great looking, to boot!

Kelsey is such a beautiful young lady. I can't believe she is only a Freshman. Dad is going to be beating the boys off with a stick (if he isn't already!).



And what about these two handsome guys...

LOVE Nolan's freckles!

Conner is going to be a Freshman, also. This guy's eyelashes are to die for. Knock-the-girls-socks-off to-die-for! Yikes!

Great job, Jerry and Bette. What a handsome crew you started! Thanks to all of you for a wonderful session! I hope you enjoyed your stay in our neck of the woods!
