Smith Sisters

This gorgeous bunch of girls was so much fun to be around!  (Their mom is just as cute, by the way.)  They were so cooperative and they loved climbing all over the train.

We did this shoot in Alamosa at the train yard and by the river.  We started at 9am, but in retrospect, it was already too late in the day.  The sun was pretty harsh.  7:30 would’ve been much better.  I think we got some keepers, though!

Baby Carly

Isn’t she gorgeous?

She was ten days old and two weeks over-due to begin with, so that made for one wide-awake baby.  All of the shots that look like she’s sleeping were just me getting lucky enough to catch her with her eyes shut!

I love that I was able to get an outside shot of a newborn.  It will probably be the one and only until next year since it is starting to get cold already,

Ellithorpe Cousins

The DeGolyers

This is the DeGolyer family.  The day of the shoot was rainy and windy, but we decided to go ahead with it anyway.  Luckily, we got a break in the clouds and the sun came out for a few minutes.  These were taken in their yard. 

I’ve become slightly addicted to silhouette shots.  I can’t help myself!

 

Thank you, DeGolyers!  You have an amazing family.

Rivera Sisters

These girls are my next-door neighbors.  We did the shoot in their backyard.

Aren’t they cute?

The Flake Family

This is my oldest sister, Sabrina, and her husband, Paul.  They have a yours, mine and ours type family that makes up ten kids!  

This session was probably the toughest I’ve done.  We started at about 11:00 am, which means that the sun was pretty much directly over head.  I tried to stay in the shade, but there was still patchy sunlight coming through.  I am pleased with  the results, though.  

Out of the ten kids, seven of them are boys.

Kalie: My awesome neice

First of all, I’ve gotten a bit behind in editing because I had some computer issues and ended up getting a whole new computer.  Thankfully, it wasn’t the hard drive that went bad.  Look for a few new posts in the near future as I get caught up.

This gorgeous girl is my oldest neice, Kalie.  I was twelve when Kalie was born and I was her favorite babysitter (just don’t tell my other sister).  She is a senior this year.  These were all taken in downtown Monte Vista when her family was here a couple of weeks ago.  We had so much fun taking these!

Isn’t she beautiful?
