Family Holiday Sesh with the Landrys

Family sessions are a great way to meet new people, learn a little, and find commonality in someone that was a stranger to you just a mere hour before. The Landrys were a bucket of fun to work with, and I think the photos will show it:)

Now, I'm a big fan of kids, especially when they are at the age where they run around and do stuff because its is interesting to them, and this family has two little girls that stole the show and a little of my heart <3. Such sweet little girls that clearly love their mom and dad dearly:)  

This setting was amazing...

 Personally, I really really dig sun flare.

YES! Glorious!

 Dancing in the street:)

Oh gosh, this is so dang cute!

 So cute!

 I love this, they totally followed me into a large rabbit hole and I got this shot. Amazing!

 That bridge, that light, those rays. Holy hector.

 Aw, what a sweet moment between daddy and daughter.

 So sweet, mama and daughter. And, really? That sunset was such a drama queen, I loved it!

 These two, they killed me! So dang cute!

 Good lord, this is priceless!

 We did things, found things, and adventured into a sort-of wilderness. It was awesome.

 I love wide shots like this, especially when the subjects contrast the background like this.

 That sunset, it was amazing!

K&M Engagement Session

(good lord, this photo rocks my face off, and is my FAVORITE from the set!)

K&M

These two little love birds endured a hot, dry, semi-windy June day in the desert for their engagement photos, and the results turned out fantastic! Wait, its hot and dry in the desert, no! LOL! The Springs Preserve provided the gorgeous green backdrop which turned out to be perfectly suited and amazingly colored for this engagement set.

Let your peepers take a gander at my sweet couple.  Their genuine compatibility shines in these photos, they make each other smile, laugh, and happiness exudes.  I am thrilled to be shooting their wedding in a month, its going to be an amazing day! Congrats you guys:)

Dude, the shadows?? Flipping amazeballs.

My other absolute favorite from the set is this one with the commercial shed thingy in the background, LOVE IT! She looks so carefree and beautiful.

Favorite family shoot!!

These guys kill me. They are a current day Brady Bunch, and if I didnt tell you that you would NEVER have guessed that the children were mixed of 2 families as they blend so well! These two parents met at a sad time in each of their lives, befriended each other, they leaned on each other, and relied on each other to help the other muddle through the bad hand they were dealt in life. One day they decided to make a go of a relationship, he with his 3 children and she with hers, and that was nearly 5 years ago. Together they are a family of 8, 4 boys, 4 girls, all children in nearly 1 year succession of the next! Talk about a crazy, wild, fun, loud, and loving household! These photos are a prize to me, a loving interpretation of their family.
