Baby Malachi's Sneak Peek

So my friend, Abbie, over at Just a Bunch of Characters finally had seven and he is beautiful! I wasn't able to meet him until he was 2 days old because I had to go out of town. Last Saturday I had the pleasure of taking his newborn pictures and I must say we had quite an interesting time. Here are a few of my favorites that I have ready for viewing!

When Abbie found out that she was having a boy, we put these letters in her hands (her belly wasn't big enough) and took a picture for her to use to announce that he would definitely be called Malachi. So I thought it would be fun to use it in our shoot as well!

baby feet and piggy-toes!

sweet little hands and fingers!

I got this shot in the hospital. Doesn't it look like he's saying, "Here I come to save the day!"

Would you believe there were 6 brothers and sisters sitting right behind him?

Baby "geek"!

Is he not the sweetest little dinosaur ever?!

Sweet smiles! I think he knew we were done and it was time to eat!

So I did family pics for two friends back in November. One friend I've known since our days in youth group and the other is that Character family that seems to pop up in our lives quite regularly! Here are some of my faves from the shoots!

This was literally the first shot of the day and it was perfect!

At the end of the shoot, we loaded up the kids in the van and walked a few yards away and took a couple of them alone. They definitely had a little fun with it!

Now for the Characters: We did a bunch of different stuff than we usually do. We wanted to try out some fun poses and just try new things.

And a maternity shot for baby Malachi!

Luke's Senior Sneak Peek

While we were shooting family pics for the Fredericks, we got some senior pics for Luke. It's hard to believe he only has one more year of school before he's off to college. So here's a few shots of the oldest Frederick son.

Luke's shades are one of his favorite things so there in almost every picture from the day.

Luke also likes his hat...

...and his dad likes it facing forward.

All done for the day!

Family of Fredericks Sneak Peek

So I know my friend Holly has been eagerly awaiting these pics so I hope she likes them! We got up early and were able to beat the heat. I don't think the weather could have been any more perfect! I had a great time and can't wait to do some more!

I couldn't have asked for a better shot--this was the very first pic of the day!

Paul and Holly--even the kids kept saying how cute they are!

The kids--Josiah, Ian, and Luke (look for his senior picture sneak peek coming soon!)

It sure was fun watching them all try to get up on this wooden thing!

This is quite possibly one of my favorite shots of the day. They had to do some climbing to get here too!

I love to see the love when couples interact with each other like I'm not even there!

We're almost done!

I told the guys they could relax...so they did! They even got to untuck their shirts!

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! Be sure to leave some love on the comments!

Just a Bunch of Characters

Last Friday I did a photo shoot for my friends. You probably know them as those people with all those kids! We just laugh and say that if the kids are gonna be that good looking, they might as well keep having them! I've known Mark and Abbie since about the time Zoe came along. I started babysitting for them and Abbie and I became fast friends. She and Mark kind of adopted me as a little sister and Zoe was my flower girl. Anyhoo--here's a sneak peek of this beautiful family!

The ones who started it all. This is just one of the many great shots.

First up is Zoe. She's a supermodel in the making!

Here's Ace. He's so handsome!

Liam--love those blue eyes!

Josiah--so stinkin' cute!

Ceili Rain--precious little princess!

Bryant--littlest of the bunch and just as much fun as the rest!

I've still got some editing to do on these, but I just couldn't wait to share! Want to see more of the bunch? Check out their blog here! The main picture is the one I took back after Thanksgiving.
