The Schell Family

I love photography and I love this family! What better way would there be to spend a warm Autumn day than taking pictures of these guys? Top it off with a gorgeous backdrop of color and this is what you get!

Everyone is still a little camera shy.

For one who initially didn't want me to take his picture, he sure warmed up to the camera!

So cute!

David was quite the model.

Andrew looking so grown up! How can this be?

Whole family in the Autumn splendor.

Holding down the fort.

Crossing bridges.

So casual and relaxed. He's a natural.

Easy to get a good shot of this guy!

He was telling me a "funny ghost story."

For George and Anna Lisa

Meet the "S" family. I had a wonderful time with George, Anna Lisa and their 2 beautiful daughters the other day. Elaina is a fun and very verbal almost 2 year old. She loves to squish on her brand new baby sister Josie and to wrestle bears.

Josie is just 10 days old in these pictures. She was such a sweet and content newborn. Very alert and wide awake for almost the whole time she was here.

Here are the results of our time together.

Anna Lisa and George, Thank you for the opportunity to do this photo session. Your girls are both very sweet. It was such a pleasure to get to know you a little during our time together. You have a beautiful family!

For Brian and Amy

Here is beautiful baby Grace. Just 12 days old and a sound sleeper. I love her kissable cheeks.

A few moments while she was still awake. She loved looking at the window.

Off to dreamland

Such a pretty baby girl.

Here's the cheeks! Don't you just want to cuddle her?

An afternoon snooze.

Tender moment with Mama.

The happy family.

A Daddy's girl already.

Isn't the blanket beautiful? It was made with love by her Mommy!

A less traditional framing, but I liked this.

Congratulations Brian and Amy. She is a beautiful and precious gift from the Lord. I pray that your life together will be blessed!

For Danielle

Meet baby Luke. He is 3 1/2 weeks old-well he was when I took these. He's already another week older now! Isn't he a cutie? Danielle, thanks for letting me take these. It may have been a challenge to keep him sleeping, but I sure enjoyed being able to hold him.

These 3 are similar, but I couldn't resist that sleeping face!

You would think that he was really comfortably asleep here, but his Mama and I know otherwise!

Just a few short moments later, he is wide awake!
I love the dark blue, baby eyes.

Off to dreamland again.

Papa bear.

Everybody say "Ahhhh!"

Again, similar photos, but I can't decide which I like better; black and white or skin tone on black.

And this just makes me laugh to think about the gymnastics we tried with him. What a patient little guy. It isn't the pose we were going for, but I love that you can see his tiny baby feet through the sling. His face is pretty adorable too!

I had to put this one in Danielle! He is a little unsure of taking part in this whole Jedi thing. But I have no doubt that given the training he will receive from his older siblings, he too will come to be a great Jedi knight! (Do you think he looks like Jerem in this picture?)
