Seriously ~ these children are adorable and as we were shooting, they were entertaining ME! That’s fun. These are the kids from the red couch on the opening photo on my portrait website. I proofed WAY too many pictures for their parents…but how can delete such cute little faces! Here are just a few of my favorites! I love the last group shots dearly…

Ok - so talk about feeling old…This man pictured below…there are pictures of me as a child…holding and feeding him a bottle as a newborn….and now he’s almost 20 and getting married…that’s crazy! Our parents go way back… Their wedding is Thanksgiving weekend, here are a few favorites from their engagement session…

Oh the VanderWerff family….

As many of you know, there are no “family galleries” on either of my websites… why - some of you ask…well, as a phtotographer, you need to be inspired to get fabulous shots, and well, families really don’t inspire me..mainly because everyone is looking for that perfect shot where everyone’s looking…and I don’t like those. BUT, with saying all of that…this family is an exception to that rule…I shot Jeff & Alyssa’s wedding last summer and just really enjoyed them. Jeff was just like I remembered - you know how you are. Thank goodness, Alyssa’s there to keep him in line! JoAnne (Jeff’s mom) is the nicest person you will ever meet, and look at the photo of her and her husband…are they cute or what? This family is in the apple business as well as a couple other crops. Most of their apples end up at Mcdonalds…my kids have those all the time. They even sent me home with a bag of apples straight off the trees we shot near…and you will be happy to know that I made a blue ribbon ~state county fair~ apple pie with those apples…even with a decorative crust! ok - so I really didn’t win an award…but my friends were impressed! Thanks a bushel - ok…enough with my silliness…here are a few of my favorite…

oh yea - i totally hope they use the pitch fork shot for their christmas card…I love that they went along with my crazy idea!
