One of my favorite families...

I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite families to do their Christmas pictures. We had a great time. I experienced a few "firsts" while doing this shoot. I had never had a family pet in the shot and it was fun. Usually during my family shoots with small children, I have to bark, clap, chirp, whistle...you know, silly stuff. So I was excited that I had the chance to just say, "smile" and get on with business, but Tex had other plans.



I spent a good bit of my time there saying, "Tex, treat? Tex! Tex, treat? Tex, squirrel. Tex...Tex. Tex, treat?" All of those worked like magic, until we tried, "Tex, walk?" Yea...he wanted to walk.



I say this is one of my favorite families because they are so loving and close. I love the bond that the sweet brothers have.



I love how close the boys are.



And I totally adore the way mom and dad feel about each other. They are a true inspiration to me.



Thanks for giving me the chance to help you preserve your precious memories. I had a great time.

It was very nice to meet you W Family!

I met this sweet family through a friend's referral. I just love referrals!



They arrived ready to get down to business...the business of smiling that is!



And they have quite possibly the cutest 8 year old EVER!!!

The entire time we were taking pictures, he wanted to have his made by the water, we finally made it and he was SO happy!

And of the awesome parents...



the center of their world...



I love it when kids have their own ideas of how they want their pictures to be done. It makes them happy, which makes me happy!



It was very nice to meet you W family! I hope you love your pictures as much as I do!!

We had such a great time. The boys were so funny. They loved to say "Cheese" and "I love Candy Corn!"



This might just very well be the first time that I have taken family pictures...with a lizard. A baby lizard at that!



SEE!!! A baby lizard!



The parents...



You know you are a mommy to 3 year old twin boys when you 1) hold a baby lizard in your bare hand 2) allow said lizard to be in your family Christmas pictures 3) do not freak out about holding said lizard in your bare hand and 4) SMILE while holding the little baby lizard!!
