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?

Baby Tucker

Baby Tucker, seven weeks old,  belongs to our friends, Andy and Christine.   

(Just a fun note, their two-year-old, Gavin, was born fifteen minutes before my two-year-old, London.)

They live in Texas and we did this impromptu photo shoot while were there visiting my husband’s family a week ago.  We were at Andy’s aunt’s house swimming and Christine was lamenting not getting any newborn photos of Tucker.  I had my camera with me, so we grabbed whatever blankets we could find for a backdrop and found the best of the fading evening light.  I only snapped a few, but I am pleased with them.
