the kahuhu family

well this is my last entry for 2010! they had such a great idea to gather around their christmas tree for the family christmas photo this year... and with a brand new baby, that was a warm, smart idea too! however, the rest of the group ventured outside for some very cute photos at eagle island...

the packer family

more brave souls out in the freezing cold! it was windy and cold but we got some very cute shots... their littlest guy wasn't in love with the idea of having portraits taken, but we caught him with some pretty darn cute faces! and a pretty cute family!

little daniel

this sweet baby boy belongs to a friend of mine! he was born right after thanksgiving. he's number seven and very loved... what a gorgeous mom he has, too!

the bild family

i love it when families make their portraits really personal and have them done at home... and what better time than when it's 18 degrees outside! i have really enjoyed helping families get that perfect photo to send out in their christmas card. we spent some time outside too but it sure was COLD. i think we're just about done outside for 2010.

the pearman extended family

this is my biggest group of 2009! such cute faces. it was freezing cold and the kids were very pleasant despite the terrible weather.... maybe it had something to do with the bags of candy the adults were hanging over my head :) i had a lot of fun capturing some of the personalities they had. very cute family! thanks guys for being such great sports. grandma should be really happy with these!

the hessing family

this group is just a small part of the big group we did at eagle island over the thanksgiving holiday. i've had the chance to take their portraits before and it was so fun to see how big their baby has gotten! and she's sooooo adorable. their boys have these amazing eyes too! it was so fun to see their family since they've moved AWAY from here. it was so great to see you guys!

the ricksecker family

we did this entire session in the RAIN! talk about an easy-going family... they had everyone in town for the thanksgiving holiday so we could not reschedule and they were great sports about the weather. we had a lot of fun too! i think they have a beautiful family. in fact i commented while we were shooting these sisters that they should do a dove commercial! don't you think so?
