'tis the season...

we just love christmas and this year will be especially magical with our two tiniest ones! i had fun shooting some of our little touches of the season...


























every december we spend a cozy afternoon baking all kinds of christmas cookies with friends! yum yum!

the guthrie family

this cute family indulged me while i played with my new camera! we had to dodge mud bogs around the barn because of the recent rain and snow. talk about a family full of beautiful brunettes! thank you friends!

the spiker family

one of the things i love about photography is that i get to meet new people! what a cute family! i met the spikers in a downpour a couple of weeks ago, so we had to reschedule. thank goodness we had great weather this time.

the anderson family

you gotta hand it to anybody who will pose in the winter here! this cute family was so great to work with. thanks for being such easy subjects guys!

the sargent family

happy thanksgiving! we had a great time with family this weekend... here's a quick shoot we did in the 20's over the holiday. Brrrrr..... (yes - that's ice behind them!)

another peterson family....

this family of FIVE BOYS belongs to another brother of mine. they flew to arizona too! such a fun reunion! we got up early before my plane left to snap some pictures at a nearby park. the weather could not have been more beautiful... and what did i return to? SNOW!

the kennedys BIG GROUP!

this family portrait session started off with a bang... two members of the family were stung by bees! they were such great sports though. what a beautiful family!
