Ramirez Family

I got to meet up with the Ramirez family not too long ago and photograph a couple of darling little boys! "E" here is 5 months and soooo chubby. Love it!

Big brother "A" had to warm up to the idea of taking pictures, but he sure didn't complain when we started a round of swinging! He has the most adorable smile!

See? Isn't he adorable? And those curls...oh how I love dark curls.

The boy who made me an aunt 10 years ago hit the double digits today! I have so many memories of this guy. The first time I ever felt him kick (in-utero, of course), my sister leaned over me while we were sharing a bed and he kicked me in the bum! When he was born I went around telling all my friends in high school that I was an aunt. I couldn't have been happier and he couldn't have been more perfect. I even vividly remember taking care of him overnight when he was around 6 months old; I woke up frequently to make sure he was still sleeping on his back and breathing!

Cade, I can't believe you're growing up so fast. You're the coolest 10-year-old I know (and the sweetest, best at sports, and most definitely the most handsome). Happy Birthday!!!

L Family

I photographed my oldest sister's family back in October in Minnesota and not even the rest of my family ever saw these pics! Here ya go, family.

We got this little stool for this shoot and I'm so glad we did! Max thought he couldn't get off it since his feet didn't touch the ground, so it was the only way to get pictures of him by himself.

At the time, this Buzz Lightyear doll was his favorite thing in the world.

Swords are his other favorite thing (and don't even get him started on basketball).

Ty is getting so big. I'm going to be in complete denial when he starts dating (which will hopefully be when he's 25 as he's totally oblivious to girls at the moment). I wish I had pictures of him as a baby online, but that was back when I shot all film!

Doesn't Tessa look sweet? Don't let her fool you .

Dang, the kids in my family have some blue eyes!!

I got to spend Christmas in Minnesota building snow tunnels and it looked a bit different than it did in October . I officially love Minnesota and can't wait to go back!

Neel & Tara

Photographing young siblings can be such an adventure! Neel and Tara gave me a workout, but it sure beats a treadmill!

When you have an older sibling around 3 and a younger one around 1 1/2, the older one frequently is very accommodating to mom and dad's request to put his/her arm around the younger one. It may start like this...

But it always ends like this (usually in mere seconds)! Those little ones are so independent and not always so excited about the excess love and restriction they're receiving.
