Deck the halls and happy birthday: Noah, Zach and Malia

Noah is one of my favorite babies to photograph (besides Leo, of course). He is just so happy and smiley. I can't believe he will be 1 next month. I first met him in January at my cousin Malia's birthday party. Technically Malia is like my 4th cousin twice removed on my dad's side. It gets complicated...we have a big family, so we all just go by 'coz. Anyway, I had the opportunity to do Noah's 1 year pictures last weekend...he was as happy and smiley as ever.Zach, Noah's big brother, let me snap a few pictures of him with Noah. Zach turned 2 in July. He and I are good buds. I think he's getting used to seeing me with a camera attached to my face.
Noah was digging the bells that I brought with me. My cousin Dani brought Malia over to play with Zach and Noah. But first, we grabbed some cute Christmas card pictures.
I just love this one...
And back to Noah. His hair is the best!
Happy birthday Noah! I hope you eat lots of cake and get lots of fun toys!

Bushman Family: Real Life

I got in my car and the outside temperature registered 38 degrees. Cold had arrived. Enter the Bushman clan. HA! They laughed in the frozen face of Mr. Cold. Last weekend, while people were bundling up and tucking in, I had the opportunity to photograph this fantastic family. You may recognize John, Matthew and Kate from their October photo shoot.

Not even the slightest sign of "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

The grand kids together with Rena
Love was in the air ;)
I caught Kate being cute and fun
And of course, their album cover. Love it!
You guys were so much fun! Thanks for being such good sports.

Sara & Ryan: Wedding (Part 2)

Here are some more images from Sara and Ryan's beautiful October 18th wedding. They got married in Bloomington, Illinois, and I was happy to have the opportunity to capture some of their wonderful wedding memories. Here is Ryan a few minutes before the ceremony began.
She was a beautiful bride.
The CUTEST flower girl. She loved being a part of the wedding.
The guys were loving the opportunity to ham it up for the camera.
Sara and Ryan, congratulations! You two are a wonderful couple, and I had so much fun getting
to know you both. I wish you much happiness always! Kel, thanks again for inviting me to shoot with you. It was a long drive home...glad we were together ;).
