Thanksgiving With Family and Some Snowy Sessions.

3 Days before Thanksgiving,  I scrambled around to do laundry so I could pack for our trip to New York to see my family and work a little bit  while I was home.  I knew it would be a whirlwind adventure, but about halfway through our rainy rainy drive, I knew just how much. The weather was insane. I'd forgotten in the last 13 years just how icy/snowy/ cold it can be in NY and PA. Insane. Scary. Beautiful.

After eating so much on Thanksgiving at the 3 different houses we went to, I rolled myself into bed to prepare for the Next day. Shooting day. The good kind of shooting. The kind where you have THIS to show for it after :

This image is just magical to me.

This Adorable Face... <3

I Love this Moment and this light. 

Handsome little man

This Face. I just cant get enough of this photo. 

This is such a sweet moment between Siblings. 

Ahhhh... <3 it

This was the ONLY one I could snag of all 5 kids. It was so so cold. 

Warming (or trying to) by the fire. 

Snuggled Sisters. 

just a little Santa's helper. 

We had a lot of cold hands and used a lot of hand warmers that day, but I think the results were totally worth it.  What a great trip. :) 

The Williams Family

Saturday I had the pleasure of Meeting and shooting the Williams Family. We headed up to Great Falls in VA and the weather was amazing. I cant wait to go back there. :) We had a good time walking around Great Falls and taking in the wonderful Fall weather. The ground was still quite wet from all the rain we have had so we didn't get the chance to get down on the ground like I would have liked so I'm meeting up with Mom and the kiddos for a little mini follow up shoot to get some more good ones of the kids for her! How cute are they?

Little Miss Emma wasn't shy for the camera at all. I just love the light in this photo :)

After Little Mans mini nap we popped him in the back of the truck for a couple shots that didn't involve getting him all muddy!

Seriously, how cute is he?

Mom and Dad had a fun time goofing around and tossing around a little PDA ;)
I just love the way this captured how much fun they were having together!

Of Course we couldn't resist getting a shot of all their fantastic boots!

It was awesome meeting them and I can't wait to meet up again in the park to get some more shots of the kids!! :)

Family photos

I was so excited to meet the family today! They happened to win a free shoot from me during a little promotion I posted on Facebook a couple weeks back! Lucky for Mom she is a facebook night-owl like me and saw it right when I posted it! :) I couldn't have asked for a cuter family to take pictures of! These boys are adorable! (Little Man really didn't care a whole lot that I was there to take pics of him, he just wanted that big stick!). I think I got some really cute pictures of him anyway against his wishes!

Little Man and his Stick! (its okay buddy I don't mind taking pictures with sticks in them)

And how cute is his big brother!? :) What a great helper!

I just love this one....

"Say hello to my little friend..."

How precious is this Family?! (I just LOVE little man doing his thing!)

I heart this picture...

And of course the kids are cute! Just look at Mom and Dad....

Thank you Guys so much for Taking the time to wander around the Lake with me. I know it was so HOT. Mom you must have been DYING in that sweater! I can't wait to get the rest of your images processed for you. I hope you like these! It was great meeting you all :)
