When my sister called me up with an idea of photographing her kids with their best friends (which happen to all be from the same adorable family) I was all for it!  Ideas started swirling around in my head, and before we knew it, we were heading to a park in NY with 8 kids in tow.  Veronica, my sister, and Jamie were so patient and kept the other kids busy while I was focusing on some of the other ones. 

I know how very special it is to have good friends, especially for children.  It makes the biggest difference!  I hope that they can look back on these pictures with big smiles on their faces!

Little “T”

LOVE this.  Why?  Because of the drama!  She was so hilarious…giving me the cutest “poses.”

I get a little misty-eyed just looking at these.  Not for any particular reason other than this is my sweet little niece, Isabel, who I use to hold in my arms as an infant and sing her songs.   My,  How she has grown into this beautiful GIRL who in my mind, is growing up way too fast.  But with her growing, everything about her seems to just magnify; her kindness, her desire to always have fun, compassion, honesty, and selflessness.  Such is the characteristic of the oldest child:)

I’ve had the privilege of photographing so many little munchkins in their white attire, whether be for a First Communion or in the Mormon church, Baptism, which normally occurs at the age of 8.   There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing how innocent and beautiful they are in their white attire!

What can I say?  I’m sure I posted way too many pictures, but I’m just in love with my Isabel!

I had the privilege of capturing family celebrate Hannah’s first communion.  They were such a great family to work with!  Hannah was all smiles, and we made sure to massage her cheeks after it was all over:)  What a gorgeous girl she is!

An 8 year old being baptized; nothing sweeter than that!  McKenna was just ALL cuteness the entire time we shot.  Her giggle was infectious, and she was such a sport to do anything. I guess this comes with the territory of having 4 brothers!  I had such a great time!!
