Family Archive

Last month I got together with the Price family for some portraits before Brian shipped off to serve our country!  Brian and Vanessa have two sweet little girls, Bree and Avery.  Vanessa is also the sister to one of my brides, Jen!

Fav <3

Brian is surrounded by a lot of women, so he has Bear to wrestle with!

Bree and her cousin, Katie (Jen’s daughter)

Thank you Brian for all that you do for our country – and to Vanessa for standing beside you and taking on the responsibility of a single parent while you are gone!  You two are role models!

My very good friend and photographer Chrystal Cienfuegos gave birth to a precious baby girl on September 23rd!  I got to meet the little one on her 8th day out of the womb.  I already loved her when I met her <3

A Daddy’s girl already!

The happy family!

and my favorite shot 🙂

Thanks for letting me come shoot your little girl, C+D – Veda Claire is just perfect!

A few weeks ago, Mandi and I met up with these two lovely families who were vacationing in San Diego from Arizona!

Check out the eyes on little Elly!  What a cutie!

And then Addison and his parents!  He is going to be a heartbreaker very soon!

Of course, we had to snap a few of them together!  They are such good friends and really close in age!

Hope your California vacation was wonderful!  Come back soon!

To my wonderful clients:  My family sessions are booking up fast for October and November!  Contact me to get your date reserved now!

For two years in a row, I have photographed Adeline and her family. Check out Addy at just a few months old and then again when she turned one!   Now, she is two years old and totally rambunctious!  This little girl has lots of spunk and personality!

Nikki and Matt are wonderful parents!

She only looks calm… 🙂

But don’t let that face fool you!

A quick photo of Nikki and Matt…

but in true only child fashion, Addy wasn’t having that! (Hey it takes one to know one, right?)

My fab assistant Tina grabbed this shot, it cracks me up!

Another classic shot from Tina!

Not sure if you can tell, but about 2 minutes after the shoot started a crazy thunderstorm came through!  We took shelter at this building but Addy really wanted to go play in the rain!

IDK my BFF Addy?

My favorite shot of the day <3

We had promised Addy a turn on the slide, even though it was soaking wet!

It was so great to catch up while I was in Illinois!  

XOXO, M

While I was visiting family in Oregon, I spent some time with the extended Schuman family!  The two little ones are Alexa and Zoe and they are the nieces of Janice and Andrew who got married in Vegas this past May! 

Meet Alexa, she is a ham for the camera!

And the little bit shy, Zoe

Look at those beautiful leaves and that beautiful family!

It was great to see you all again and thank you for letting me photograph your family!

xoxo, M
