My baby’s first international vacation

 

 

I had the chance to take a holiday in the Carribean with my older sister last week and I took my little Nikon along.  Cruising, seeing the sights, and soaking the sun.  I think she may have gotten a little tan too… I know I did!

 

 

I’ll post photos from the cruise ship and our stops in Haiti and Jamaica this week, definitely something new!

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we’re looking forward to the New Year!

 

 

 

 


McDougal Family

 

I was so happy to get to shoot the McDougals and their extended family the Eichers.  Since shooting Holli and David’s wedding earlier this year, we’ve become really good friends.  We’ve even got a regular pinochle game going.  What is pinochle you say?  Only the greatest old-person card game ever! Seriously, Thomas and I are completely addicted, and we were happy when we found another couple to share our nerdiness with.

 

I’m getting distracted though- back to the photos!

 

 

This fall was so awesome!  The colors on the trees just kept sticking around, even after we started to get some snow…

 

 

  

 

 

Whipped cream + tiny cookies + hot chocolate on a cold day=  yum.

 

    

 

Snowball fight!

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 


Eichers Family

 

We shot the Eichers and the McDougals together for some extended family potraits.  You may remember seeing them when I shared the photos from Holli and David’s wedding earlier this year.

 

 

I love shooting in the capital building… lots of natural light, it’s a gorgeous building, and best of all? It’s warm in the wintertime.  :D

 

 

This family is so expressive!  It’s awesome when family portraits include a healthy dose of silliness.

 

 

  

 

The red glasses made it around to most of the family members.  They add a certain amount of panache to the wearer, don’t they?

 

  

  

 

And what better to finish pictures than with hot chocolate and humungous marshmallows?
