The Gause Family. 2 Years Later.

This was my second time having the priviledge to shoot this fun family. They are still as funny as ever, and have three new little additions since the last time I did their photos. I usually don't do individual portraits of kids with big group sessions but since they have been loyal clients (and it doesn't hurt that their kids were all so cute and well behaved), I really wanted to capture each of their sweet little faces as well. But first - la familia.

The Brown Family

Oh my word. This has got to be one of my favorite family shoots to date. You might be able to tell because if you look at the time on this post, it is WAYYYY too late and I am STILL up editing it because I just can't stop. I love this family. Dad is an amazing artist and Mom does triathalons! And hello... have you ever seen such adorable kiddos? I have photographed the kids twice now. Once when I was still pretty new and then again when baby Charlotte was born. This was my first time getting to photograph the entire family - aren't they the cutest!!!

(and I think this might be one of my most favorite family pics EVER!)





Cloe.



I just love the way her eyes pop in this one that I had to post both!



Brody



Abbey



Charlotte. What a little dumpling.



She didn't want to sit still but that is ok. A photo op for the cute pudgy baby-ness.



OK. So I love this one too. I laughed out loud when I pulled it up, I just love the way the kids are looking, Cloe is laughing, Abbey looks slightly embarrased and Brody is moving in to get a better view. Even Charlotte got in on the action!



I love this one for its candid nature. And the color!







Mommy got all the kisses tonight. I love this one. Who doesn't want to remember those sweet open mouth kisses. You could only enjoy slobber like that from a baby!



(I did get a good one of Mom & Dad together but I had just finished editing it and accidentally exited photoshop before I had saved it! UGGG! Seeing as it is 1:21 am, I am going to add that one sometime tomorrow and GET TO BED! LOL)

Jack Attack.

This is my first nephew. My sister Katie and bro-in-law Mikes first child. And I got to spend a lovely few days with him.

Jillian Grace

Little Jillian came two weeks early, and was so tiny (only about 6 lbs 5 oz. or so!), and I must say, she is BEAUTIFUL for a newborn. Really. She slept for the first part but then decided to be wide awake. I am glad though... we needed lots of shots of those amazing eyes!



She broke out in the BIGGEST smile and I caught it just in time!!!



Might be one of my most favorite images... ever.







She just fits right into Mom's hands!
