I have the best friends. I'm so honored when they think of me for their family portraits! One of my very best friends wanted to take family photos over the holidays while far flung relatives were all going to be in town. We managed to find a date that worked for everyone and I met them on a beautiful but cold day for a long afternoon of shooting. In the end I had filled up an entire memory card with photos! Following are some of my favorites:

I have so many sessions to catch up on it is overwhelming! Here is one of my absolute favorites. I adore this family and this girl. I figured it would be appropriate to start with her senior photo session since she is moving into her new dorm room this week. We actually had two separate sessions, I'll post the others later. We had the privilege of shooting these at a gorgeous ranch in the central California foothills above Visalia last spring. The only downfall was that it was freezing up there with a biting cold wind the afternoon we shot. Totally worth it for the beautiful senior portraits though!

Double-tap to edit.

Good luck in college Jennifer!

It's that time of year again!  One of my best friend's hired me to take photos of her extended family to give her grandmother as a gift for Christmas- isn't that a great idea?  We shot the photos today.  It was unseasonably warm, but pleasant.  So far I'm very pleased with how the portraits are coming out.  Here is a sneak peek, a full blog post to come later!  Isn't this little family the cutest?  The baby's smile!  I love it :)

I finally finished editing all the photos from the session last week.  There were a lot of great shots, but these few stood out as my favorites from the day!  

As promised, here are a few more shots from Friday's session!

I got the chance to shoot some family pictures for one of my dearest friends today.  I had a great time capturing her adorable family!  I also think she did a fantastic job choosing outfits.  Love the coordinating yellow and blues!  Here is a sneak peek, more to come later!
