Class of 2011- Patrick and Collin

I had the amazing opportunity to go back to my old stomping grounds, Pickerington, Ohio and take pictures of some of the people that have become part of my "extended family."

The first round was senior pictures.... so much fun!! Although these boys go to different schools and couldn't be any more different we all had a blast together.

Patrick

I have known Patrick since he was a boy. When I first booked his appointment I couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that he was no longer the little boy I remember running around the neighborhood with my brother. However, as soon as I saw him I quickly realized he truly is all grown up.

Collin

My family has known Collin and his family for years. When I mentioned to my dad that I would be working with Collin he couldn't say enough good about him. He was right, Collin is a great kid. He was super excited and invested in his pictures which made my job soooooo much easier and enjoyable. He scouted out locations, had outfits put together and totally knew what he did and didn't like.

You guys did awesome! I had a blast with you guys and cannot wait for you to see the rest of your pics!! Enjoy your last year of High School, you both will do great things!

The {L} family

While I was in Ohio I had the pleasure and opportunity of hanging out with this cute family.

These sweet little ones will stop at my parents house every day after school for a hug, a treat, and a chat. How sweet is that!?

They were so much fun to hang out with and truly made my job nothing but pure fun.

They loved each other, they smiled, they laughed, they were just amazing!

Thanks for such a fun evening!

Love you guys!

The {R} family

One of the things that I love most about my job is the opportunity I get to meet amazing families... and this one did not disappoint! I had a couple of conversations with Stacy before the shoot and the thing that she wanted the most was a picture where they all looked good at the same time... once again, this family did not disappoint!

Are they not absolutely beautiful?!

I like to try and get to know my families before our shoot and one of the things that Stacy told me about her family is how much love they have for each other. She told me how she loves that even though her children are in totally different age ranges they still love and have fun with each other. As soon as I met them I saw just what she was talking about. They loved each other so much and had a great time trying to make each other smile.

And this little guy... how can he not steal your heart!

Thank you Stacy and Brandon for sharing your beautiful family with me! And don't worry Stacy, there are plenty with all of you looking good at the same time ;)

Beach Bums

I had so much fun snapping some photos of my cute nieces and nephews in California.  They all have such fun personalities that bring so much life to our family.

Chandler is the oldest and amazes me every day.  He spent the vacation surfing, checking out the girls, loving the little cousins and kicking all of our butts in scum.

Miss Molly is full of life, sweetness, and personality.  I had so much fun with her because she LOVES to pose and is really good at it.  She just cracked me up with how girl she is... I need one of those!

 

And can't forget one of mine.  Mr Cade... this is his "mom I am done with the camera in my face" look.  

There are lots more cute nieces and nephews, 18 to be exact, that will also make an appearance as I continue to dig through all of our beach pictures.  Love you guys!
