The Clines

I know no matter what I say it will in no way justify how amazing this whole family was ( don’t know if my poor choice of words and grammar justifies any of my awesome clients). They are seriously the sweetest, kindest, loving family I have photographed. I met Kristen up at Sharp’s market earlier in the summer when I was talking about taking pictures. She had a friend getting married next year who had not picked out a photographer so I wrote my blog website on my receipt. Well fast-forward a few months and the girl from the market calls, ends up she went home and her and her husband, Tony fell in love with my work and I am super excited they did! The weather is definitely cooling off and it was a little on the chilly side but they all made it through and were all smiles the whole time.

Thanks everyone for being so cooperative and patient I know it was cold. I came home and could not stop talking about everyone because I felt so welcome and at home (they even invited me to stay for biscuits & gravy….and it was delicious). I came home in a better mood, and I am sure Shane was happy about that he likes his Sundays in front of football without a complaining wife!

Ok that is enough....I know they are all stalking my blog waiting for their photos. Enjoy!

They had their nieces Alexis & Elle for some photos for a surprise for their mom for Christmas.









L-O-V-E It, they were incredible!



So I always try one serious photo as always, after asking to do a serious one the conversation went like this:
Elle: "What is serious?"
Alexis: "Just do the face that you do when you are mad at me"



















Another fave





Ok one last one of the girls that I love...Alexis's smile makes me smile here!



Molly is usually all smiles, but she was not digging me and the cold weather and was all serious. She is still pretty darn cute as Ms. Serious, I could only imagine if she was all smiles.






Possibly my favorite family photo ever! Tony & Kristen were working really hard to get a smile out but no luck.


It is a toss up between the top one and this one.



Black & White created more emotion for me on this one for sure.





So how amazing is her bow, Kristen's mom makes them and she has one for about every outfit. Well if I have a girl, which we will find out about Christmas time I am totally going to have her hook me up. I want to have huge girlie bows in my girls hair, makes for awesome pictures and then hopefully I won't have any people calling her a him. I had people call Jax a girl all the time with a big bright blue stroller and blue clothes. Well not with a big peony flower coming out of her hair.... I know I am having a boy just have that feeling I will just have her make me blue bows because they are so darn cute.



Check out those baby blues.



Another Fave... love Ms. Serious here





Tony's grandparents came up for a few family photos as well...how sweet.



Benny wanted some by his baby with his babies :) This is obviously Benny & Tony's pride and joy. Paulette says that Benny would choose the car over her any day.......


I don't know he looks pretty darn happy with her.



No words for this photo....



Now if we could only through a chubby little happy Molly between the two









Umm...Kristen this is too cute it makes me laugh when I look at it.

Sara + Tyler + Maizie (maternity)

Sara and Tyler are expecting little Maizie in just a few more weeks. This shoot took a lot of planning like my last one because of illness and rainy weather but we finally found a little time on Friday to take a few belly shots. It was windy and a little on the chilly side but they were both troopers. Their first baby, Cash makes a few appearances but was for the most part camera shy.

So look out for little Maizie's appearance at the beginning of Dec. and over the next year. Sara and Tyler decided to do the baby's first year session which includes maternity, newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year so you will be seeing her a ton!

Yes, Maizie has the most adorable nursery, I love the orange! Oh yes, and meet Cash.












Fave, from the beginning Sara said she didn't have a serious face...I made her try once but I love her smile!

I don't know if I like it better in color or b&w

Brrrr...

Today we have been cleaning out the garage and the basement and man has it gotten cold. I bundled Jax up in his snowsuit this morning so he could come out and help. Shane thinks he looks like the kid in the Christmas Story.

Zach, Tara, & Maddie

These 3 had the awesome idea to have their pictures taken for their mom for Christmas this year. Although, I think Zach was thinking a sweater would have been better through some of the shoot he warmed up along with the girls and they knocked it out. I am sure their mom will love the photos of the three. This took a lot of planning with all the different schedules, sickness, and weather, but we finally found time this Monday and the weather was perfect.

I was a little obsessed with the lighting coming through

Halloween

I love Halloween it is one of my favorite holidays. I love the weather, picking Jax out an outfit, and chili. This year Jaxon borrowed Xane's costume from last year and made an adorable Nemo. We went downtown and around to quite a few houses and Jax loved picking out candy and putting it in his bucket. Well here are all the kiddos in their costumes.
