Check out these baby blues

Winter is such a blah time for picture taking. At least for me. Probably because the majority of my pictures are taken outside with natural light. I don't have great light in my house. So most of pictures in the wintertime are just snapshots of my family and friends. I snapped this one of my youngest right after he woke up from his nap today. Check out those eyes! Wow. They blow me away. Nothing was done to this photo except for a little healing because he has a rash due to teething (got to LOVE teething, don't ya?) and a slight bump in curves. But the eyes....au natural! Oh and just in case you didn't know, you can click on any of the pictures to view them larger.

Four Cousins

I had the pleasure to photograph my neighbors again. This time their two cousins joined them. The girls donning their Colts gear and the boys, the Bears. Trying to get four kids to all look at the camera and smile at the same time is near impossible....especially when it's COLD outside.

Aidan in the leaves

I got to witness Aidan playing in the leaves for his first time ever. I got to witness it because it happened in my front yard. We have a huge tree there that produces TONS of gorgeous red leaves in the fall. Aidan had a blast and I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of those gorgeous eyes while he was here!

A sweet email

I just received the nicest email from the M. family:

Hi Kristen,

I just wanted to thank you for doing such an awesome job with my family photos. I was very impressed with your work and I sent your name along to a couple of my friends. I like them all so well that I can’t decide which to print! I am sure I will be contacting you again in the future. Thank you!

Thank you again Nikki! I can't wait to photograph your family again!

One of my boys

Wow. I'm NEVER able to get a good picture of my boys together. It is near impossible. I'm sure many of you know how it goes. I was beyond lucky to get this great picture of my two little loves a couple of weeks ago (yes I'm a bit behind with my own editing). And even though it's a snapshot, I adore it.

The Maxwell Family

I had the pleasure to photography this adorable family last weekend. Nikki is one of my sister's clients (she's a hair stylist) and my sister referred her to me to take their family photo for their Christmas cards. Even though it was a chilly and very windy day, I captured a good family shot. Poor little J. wasn't feeling well, but E. was sure all smiles!

Check out this little one's eyes. They're amazing! I just love this picture of their youngest!

Meet the newest member of our family

This is Wrigley. He's a four month old male Puggle that we brought home on October 28, 2007. Ryan has always wanted a dog....a big dog. I'm not a dog person. Dominic loves puppies and dogs. SO, we comprimised. We got a medium sized dog. I've always thought Puggles were cute and finally convinced Ryan that they were too. Wrigley is such a good boy. He is amazing with the kids and the boys adore him.
