{Arnaldo & Kim | Family}

This shoot was so fun! You never know how your pictures are gonna turn out when working with kids. Things could get crazy! 

The first shoot I ever did with this family was back in 2010 when the boys were tiny and no little sister. It's crazy to see how they've changed in the last three years. 

Kim had such a great idea of everyone wearing pj's for the Christmas shoot and it was the best! 

I also managed to take some pictures of the baby, so I hope you enjoy!

{Alyse & Brett | Anniversary}

After the family session with the Jacobsen's, Alyse and Brett decided to sneak in a little anniversary session. Before I show off their pictures, I must say that this is one of my favorite couples. I also had a great time with these two and their session was no different.
Hope you enjoy!

{The Jacobsen's | Family}

Taking pictures of my friends family's is the best! Watching everyone's interaction with each other helps me learn more about them than anything else. After about 10 minutes with their family, I was enjoying my time and had a blast capturing their time together. I especially loved how close all the siblings are. Reminds me of my brother and sister :) 

Here are some of my faves from our day together. Enjoy!

{Luana & Andres | Family}

So after yeeeeaaaaarrrrrsss of trying to plan a photo shoot with Luana, we finally did it! And I LOVE how it came out! Thank you so much for letting me try some ideas with you guys. 

Enjoy!

{Reuben & Vivian | Family}

The last three months of the year is the best time for many reasons.
The weather (slightly) changes, girls start wearing boots, and families start contacting me for shoots. And I love family shoots! Reuben and Vivian's family was no different. I've known Reuben since high school, so I was thrilled when he asked me to photograph his engagement five years ago. You can only imagine my excitement when they contacted me about his family session.
Their little kids were so adorable in their costumes, I just couldn't stop taking pictures of them!
Here are some of my faves from the day!
Enjoy :)

{Sheik & Cristina | Anniversary}

This is one of my most favorite blog posts and couple. 

I think I'm allowed to say that since they're family :) But really, I had a blast and the shoot was beautiful! We headed to Celebration, Fl and spent the afternoon taking holiday photos with the two of them and my little puppy-niece, Apple. 

The sunset, colors, location, people and puppy make my heart smile every time I look through this set. It reminds me of Target ad too! I should probably wait for the holidays to come around to post these pictures, but they're so fun that I just have to post them now. 

Here are some of my faves from the day...

(Love you, Sheik & Cristina!!!)

Merry (early) Christmas!

{Amanda & Brandon | Family}

My dearest friend Amanda came to visit me so naturally we did a mini-photo shoot ;) 

This is one of the couples that make Rochester just a sweet place for me. I miss them terribly, but I'm happy about all the great things that are happening in their lives right now. 

I can't forget to mention my first nephew, Chewie, who was basically the star of the show! He did such a good job posing for us! 

Manda, did we give him a treat for doing so well???? 

Enjoy!

{Khadja & Adam | Anniversary}

Isn't this one of the cutest couples you've ever seen?? I mean seriously! They're one of those couples you just want to watch because they're so sweet with each other. They recently celebrated 1 year of being married and asked me to take their anniversary photos. We got to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon walking around Lake Hollingsworth before the rain came. They were so sweet and I had such a good time with them. Plus, I loved getting a chance to catch up with family!
