Ellenburg Family Christmas Card Photo Shoot...

Taking the annual Christmas Card photograph is always a lot of fun. I like everything about it. Picking out the perfect outfits. Choosing a great location. Creating the perfect template for a wonderful send out. But if I had to pick on thing to change, I'd take my shots earlier...but you know when you're photographing other families too...you either do your shots first or last...this year I was last last - but with low drama.
We took our photographs in my front yard. It's one of my favorite places to shoot, it's gorgeous. I'm happy to announce, that at this year's shoot, the threats for smiles were at a minimum. No one cried. We still included a pet. And I only had to say, "Can you see the camera at all?" only once. All in all a great photo shoot. I even let Jackson take a few shots. That kids got skillz.
Enjoy a few of my favorites...

Wacky hats make for great times.

Yes, an Ellenburg Totem Pole.

Grant always makes laugh with his super cool poses.

I love the shadow in this shot! I want to frame & stick it on the wall.

Jackson took this shot - He did fantastic!

Yes, I dressed a cat in a dress & scarf for my magical Family Holiday Photography. No shame.

Do you do a holiday photo shoot? - it's a fun afternoon adventure & a memory that will last forever - Think about it for next year :-)

Sun, Sand & the Morans

When I'm asked to photograph at the beach {any Beach} - I'm immediately transported to my happy place. I love everything about the beach. That great beachy Smell, Squishing between my toes, rolling waves, creepy seagulls...yep all of it. So, when Kristy asked me to photograph her family, how could I resist? I just adore the Moran boys. I photographed little Aaron on his first birthday on a railroad track and his new baby brother just a few months ago when he was just born. They are growing so fast. Documenting growing families in fun places is just one of the many perks of this job. Greatest Job Ever!
Enjoy a few of my favorites of Kristy, Marty, Aaron & Evan. A good looking family on a gorgeous Mississippi Beach.

Gone Fishing

There is something magical about the beach. Maybe its the sound of the crashing waves, or maybe its squishing the sand between my toes. I've always loved the beach. It was a pleasure to be asked to photograph a beach fishing trip between a tiny boy and his Great Grandfather in Pascagoula, Mississippi. As we get older, we learn to appreciate all the wonderful stories and great adventures we had with our Grand-parents. When I reflect fondly on these times, I never feel like I have enough photographs with my Grandparents. Photographing something fun like this is a real treasure. Thank you for selecting me to capture these memories. Enjoy a few of young Aaron and his Great-Grandfather.
