Cousins, Siblings and then well....

I did some photos for my friend on sunday, she wanted to have some pictures taken of her kids and then some taken of her neice and nephew, as a surprise for the kids mom for christmas.... so we did the first set of siblings and well, you can see the rest for yourself.... thanks guys!! It was fun!!

then we did cousins...

then more siblings...

And then... PIGPILE!!!

Rylie...

I bought rylie a holiday dress the other day, well she of course had to do some modeling for me.... she had to have her hair curled as well before we could take any photos! oh she's her mothers daughter!!

Brrrr..... very cold!!

Do these guys look cold?? well they were!!! We went down to the beach on sunday at 8:30 in the morning! Let me tell you... it was very chilly... 22 degrees chilly!
the kids were troopers though, i'd take a few photos, they'd shiver a little, i'd take a few more, the good news was, that i didn't make them stay out there too long.

Veterans Day Parade

On Veterans Day we have a small parade that goes through Biddeford/Saco, karaghan and some of her classmates marched in it and played their instruments for the Saco Middle School. My niece also played her Sax for Thornton Academy.....

My niece Bekah....

I couldn't resist this one...... she was waiting patiently for the parade to start.

My Family....

This rarely happens!! we got together last week for my birthday and i managed to arrange for ALL of my siblings to come early and they all agreed to let me take a family photo! this will be a christmas gift for my parents from all of us, obviously they didn't know what we were up to!! LOL! I can't remember when the last time was that they had a family photo of all of us spouses and kids included.

The other image is of my sister and her husband(colleen & bryan) and their little girl Abigail.

Abigail turns "ONE"

Look at this cutie, and her precious outfit... Her mom has been planning her photo session since she was 7-8 months old, she just turned one last week!! she found the tutu and hat on line and then she decorated a little t-shirt with the number 1 on it with a little crown! It was absolutely adorable!! I love the pink and the black together, she even had a matching cow she brought with her. I also did the whole family, i will post some images of them as well.

Happy Halloween!

well, i got 2 out of my three kids picture on halloween.... Karaghan and her friends got ready together at a friends house so by the time i met up with her it was dark and i didn't want to carry my camera around with me while we were "trick or treating".

This a great time of year for Family photos....

I think this is my third time photgraphing these kids, when i first decided to start doing photography, I asked Amy if i could practice taking pictures of her kids, and here they are 3 years later still asking me to do a family portrait of them. I think they're pretting comfortable with me at this point!!

A Tractor, some pumpkins and 3 cute Kids!!

This session was a lot of fun, the kids were really good and hello...... are they cute or what?? I could've kept shooting all afternoon, but it really started to get cold, so i let the kids end the session by throwing piles of leaves in the air while i captured a few more images!

Running Away!

I have to share a cute story with you....Rylie my youngest (6yrs old) kinda got herself into some trouble this morning, which isn't hard to do. So because of her actions she got scolded which apparently she wasn't happy about....
during the course of the morning she was jotting down some words on a clipboard,
when we went out to wait for the bus, she read this letter to me that she had written, handed it to me and proceeded to get on the bus!!
Good thing she read it to me because some of it was not so easy to understand... It goes something like this: Dear Mom and Dad and karaghan and Anthony I am sorry! And Im rning away and im lving with Lily ( her best friend) and im navr koming bk and me and lily will play togther forevr!!
How cute is that?? I'll hang on to it and show her some day when she is older!!

Yah, i'm back!! i have been so busy with photos but i haven't had time nor have i had my computer for a whole week to post anything! I can't believe how dependent i am on it, i use it for everything. It ended up having some kind of virus, so i had to give it up so the whole thing could be cleaned up, so from now on when someone sends me an e-mail thing to pass on to ten of my friends, sorry..... i'm just going to delete it! haha!
Anyway... i just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Lily!! She had a birthday party on friday night, she had pumpkin painting and apple bobbing for all the kids, it was lots of fun. Her mom is my friend that makes those amazing cakes! (one posted)
I posted some of them in a previous blog as well. !

Baby Charles

Can you stand it?? How cute is this little guy!! I took some photos of Charles when he was 3 days old, in a previous blog... here he is at 3 months old!! He has the most amazing eyes, and i just wanted to bite his little thighs!!

Fall Colors....

I love this time of year!! the colors have been so beautiful...it's been fun to do some outdoor sessions. I made an attempt to do some photos of my kids... well that was a fiasco!! (sp?) They were all in a fowl mood! so much for trying to do a christmas photo early....
So instead i did some photos of this cute family, this is probably the 3rd time doing these cuties... just about every year i do a family photo and in between i do a yearly photo of them individually.

Sisters!

These girls were so much fun to photograph! Despite the wind and chilliness, we had fun playing around with different poses.... lots of hair blowing in these photos!! I'm thinking we may do an in studio session so they'll have a few more options to choose from.
