meet the wonderful snowden family!  two sessions, two fabulous looks, and two fun locations.

way back in january i TRIED to do a little photoshoot with the kids for their valentines day cards.  i think they thought it was pretty fun and funny, but i was not amused…..

this photo sets the mood for the shoot.

i managed to get a couple cute shots, but this “session” demonstrates exactly why i get other photographers to photograph my kids!

eliza was totally in to the shoot and being a “model”.  ryder, on the other hand, was totally in to being 2!

hello, my name is ryder and i am very good at being 2.

this one is cute, but i actually prefer the shot below with ryder demonstrating his growling skills.

halle and silas were my first set of newborn twins that i have photographed!  they are so sweet and so tiny.  : )

two babies need two grandma’s to come and help take care of them!  grandma number one.

grandma number two.

this family has talent:  soccer stars, a cellist, a martial arts specialist, a violinist, brains, beauty  and the list goes on and on!

Back by popular demand, Dynamic Duo Cate & Annie!

I can’t believe Henry is 6 months already!

Favorite shot of the day!

the first time we photographed the wood family out on the farm the baby was just that, a baby!  now she is 4 years old.  the girls get sweeter and prettier every year.

i love this family!

maureen, our super-duper-amazing studio manager, has three great kiddos!  we did a quick photo shoot at the lake house this summer and i promised i would get her photos to her in time to make christmas presents.  : )
