The Sadich Family

So as I looked at the date of my last post I noticed that, well, it was about a month and a half ago. Dang! I'm behind. Oh well. Today I had a moment to retreat from the blizzard we had today....ok compared to what we have been having it seems like one.

Moving right along. I had the privilege...sometime over a month and a half ago :-/ to photograph a family who are good friend's of mine. They had a new baby girl this year and of course their little boy is, well, not so little anymore. In fact let's start off with the big guy.

Photobucket

...and meet his little baby sister! Her name is Emery. Love it!

Photobucket

So for whatever reason I LOVE this photo. Completely natural. Can't explain it. Just love it!

Photobucket

Beautimous!

Photobucket

Another love! It reminds me of all those kids shows growing up where you never see the adult's face. Just their feet. Complete perspective from the kids point of view.

Photobucket

Kaden wasn't too much in the mood for posing. More so for just playing games. I didn't mind. ;)

Photobucket

Got to love a fall day with leaves to play in.

Photobucket

Of course mom and dad need some with just the two of them.

Love you guys! May God bless you in all you do!

<span class=

Of course we couldn't leave out this beautiful face :)

<span class=

As you can see Amanda is with child. Doesn't she look like a super cool mom?

<span class=

Alright, now if your memory escapes you Missouri had one of the yuckiest Octobers. By the grace of the good Lord above the Hastings picked probably the only day in October that was decent. Not only was it decent, it was beautiful. Look at that sun!

<span class=

Workin' it out!

<span class=

As I looked over from the porch that you see above I saw this incredible yellow tree. The sun was in the perfect spot and I just couldn't resist. LOVE this one!

<span class=

And finally I will leave you with the coolest looking parents EVER! I mean look at em! This is my favorite of the session for sure.

May God continue to bless your family. :D

Sadich Family Preview

So today was quite the busy day of family shoots. Of course these amazing families couldn't have picked a more perfect day to do them. 70 degrees, clear skies, perfect sun. Uh, are you sure its the middle of November?! Anyhow I am in the midst of editing one of the families (friend's of mine as a matter of fact). Usually when I photograph families I love to capture the playing and laughing. However every once in a while I come across one of those photos that are just "real life". No posing, just honest. This is one of those photos. I don't know what it is about it, but I love it. It makes me laugh.

I'm trying to decide though if I like it better in color or not. This kid has some incredible blue eyes. Leave me a comment and let me know what you like best.

Zellmer Family

Everyone meet the Zellmer family! Don't they look fun. Well I can tell you. They are.
Photobucket

And let me tell ya. This family has got some cute kids! All smiles. =D

Photobucket

Ah boys who like to explore. This one feels a little timeless to me. It definitely makes me smile.

Photobucket

We took a little break in the evening to play around a swingset we found somewhat off in the woods. Good time were had by all. Love this sequence.

Photobucket

Photobucket

She was holdin' that smile in for a while, but we finally got it outta her.

Photobucket

How could you not fall in love with a face like that. TOO CUTE!

Photobucket

So we decided to let mom and dad have their moment too. I mean they deserve it after all the hard work they do. Can we say we got a couple of models here?

Photobucket

Photobucket

And last, but not least a group shot in front of the sweet doors we found. I'm a big fan of doors if you didn't know. ;)

Photobucket
Thank you so much Zellmer family for letting me spend the afternoon with you guys. Had so much fun! May God continue to abundantly bless you all as he already has.

The Sarino Family

So I had the privilege yesterday to do some family photos for the Sarino family. I was super excited to see these guys again. The last time I saw them was probably about a year and a half ago. The boys had just been introduced to the world and were quite tiny. About all they did was sleep. I can't believe how long it had been for when the door was opened there stood two little men with sippie cups in hand. So big! And so cute! So without further ado....

Meet Collin...
Photobucket

...and Max!

Photobucket

Double trouble for sure! ;)

Photobucket

Well we decided, on what turned out to be an amazing fall evening, to go chill out by a barn down the street. As you can tell there was much to look at. To my surprise it was actually a working barn stocked with sheep and goats!

Photobucket

Oh the excitement!

Photobucket

Anyone up for a Saturday afternoon stroll? Love this one!!!

Photobucket

Unfortunately we couldn't actually go into the barn so we decided to venture out once more. Jason was telling me about the story of the train cars that the town had stored down the street. As we pulled up I couldn't have been more excited. What a perfect photo spot! :D

Cute family alert!!!

Photobucket

Ah boys and their curiosity.

Photobucket

Chillin in front of the train cars.

So it turned out that Saturday was Jason and Jen's anniversary. So of course we had to let the kids go play while we got a grown up shot. ;) Congratulations the two of you. You have a beautiful family!
