The Nichols Family

We are so blessed to have the opportunity to photograph the Nichols family three times this season! Grandma insisted that all the children be photographed this holiday season and we had the honors. Thanks to you all!!!









The McIntire Family

This fun family was such a blash to work with! We had such a great time catching little Zach hamming it up and he kept us all laughing the whole time. Dad & mom with the older sisters were letting us have all kinds of fun with their family & we were so thankful to work with them while Jackie & Katie were home from college over the holiday. Thanks again!











The Thatcher Family

What a gorgeous family...all boys for this mom and dad...boy, mom is really out numbered! I just adored this little guy's red hair and the bigger brothers' helpful and kind attitudes. What a pleasure to work with such an amazing family this holiday season!









Introducing...

Deagan Ryker DeLuca...this little guy wasn't too little...weighing in at 8lbs 10oz, he was probably one of my most anticipated new arrivals to date. You might recognize his glowing mommy-- I did her maternity portraits as well.



Here is a sneak peek for his mommy, daddy and new big sister. Thanks again for the opportunity to be part of this fantastic time in your lives!

The gorgeous Sarcomo family!

This gorgeous family had a STUNNING location for their session...a friend of their family's beautful home and property. Mom, dad & the kids all had a blast posing and catching those magical moments today. The weather was great, the location was amazing and the colors on those fall leaves...all around, it doesn't get any better than this!














This is one of my poses that I just love! Every time dad would lift this little darling up, she would plant a big KISS right on him! So sweet!

Mini Sessions 11-17-08

Today was a busy day! Mini sessions all day long... Here are a few peeks at a few of the families I did today. So much fun. I was supposed to shoot in studio and what do you know more studio light problems 1st thing. So immediately I had to go to plan B which was we were moving my little party outdoors for today. Again not the plan but did I make it work. Of course! The 1st family is one of my dear families the Uerberschaers- Nate and Nick are brothers and best friends. The 2nd family was the Hanson family. This is my web guys family. I have to give them thanks again for all they have done for Moments To Remember and where I am today is thanks to him and his hard work on the new site.Their pictures turned out so good. Their kids are so precious. As you can see in the pictures this bother and sister adore each other. My 3rd family was the Hall family another good friend of mine and site editor.lol. They just had a new little baby. I was able to capture some pretty fun moments for them today. My 4th client today was the Martin Family. Again one of our dearest friends. This family has NEVER had family pictures so this was an important mission to get some priceless images that will make them want to come back for more for years to come. I think they will be very happy. Well that's all I can to for one day and more to come tomorrow.

The New Duncan Family Baby! My 1st NB in studio!



This was the Duncan Family I did this evening. This family was tons of fun. I have to say it started out stressful but ended up perfect by the end. I haven't officially told the world yet but a natural light studio is in the works starting this winter. Time to get this stuff out of my house! Dont Worry DC parents I am still not going anywhere, just getting a more professional setup for this booming biz. Its going to be located on the acre that I am converting for seniors and events. I still have the studio in my home and well I went to pardees today to replace some new lights that I just bought last week that were damaged. Well got them replaced and on my way back home this afternoon as planned. Get home just in time for the Duncan shoot only to find out that their replacement didn't work again! I was so upset. Not only do I have a NB coming any minute but I have no studio lighting to do the shoot. Well I had a few tricks in my bag and made it all work with some old equipment and this is our end results. So stressful at the beginning and perfect work by the end. This baby I am going to say is one of the best babies I have ever had. I have only had one other baby like this one. They are so much fun when the are out like a light. Well take a look and more is on my site under the new pictures and babies tab.

Tad and Nicole's Fairytale Wedding!



All I can say is OMG! This was the most amazing experience I have had in a long time. Nicole is a daycare client of mine and a friend. When she said simple low key wedding- Well.... Not quiet. For simple this was one of the best weddings I have ever been to. Words cant describe the emotion that took place on this day. All I can say as I feel it all over again as I look Thru the images every time. It was just me on this event due to it being a "Simple Wedding" I took my good friend and professional photographer Jessica Cole along as an assistant for the day. I needed help and she wanted to see just what these wedding events are all about! Well Nic and Tad couldn't have had a better staff for the day. I felt like we were running all day long and never had time to capture the little things. Well looking back thru all these images I do have to say we caught all the little things. This family didn't need any posed shots to see the love that this family has for each other. As you will see in this small preview this family and this event was more than magical. Right in the middle of group pictures the rain came in. Oh my- but the even better we got a rainbow in return. It all worked out in the end and I so excited to put these thousands of images into this families hands as it will be a day set in history never to forget. Do you know how hard it was to pick my favorite 100 for the site!!!! That is a horrible things to do to somebody- sorry to all my clients who I give too many darn choices. I feel your pain. Thanks Jessica again for all your help. Without you the event wouldn't have went so flawless. Another amazing event that melts my heart! This is why I do what I do!
