Things have been a little hectic over here lately. My husband is completely crazy, but awesome. He is a full-time student in paramedic school, works full time in the evening, and is still volunteering at the fire dept. I have always been the one at home with the boys, but suddenly without dad around, life is a little out of whack! You don’t know how much you appreciate someone until they aren’t around! Luckily I have in-laws around, and my family to help..or else I wouldn’t have anytime to do pictures, or hair. Anyways…I am finishing up some editing on another large family session, but until then, here are some sweet “Ben 10″ moves

my boys had their friend over to play this week. It was a perfect day, the weather was gorgeous, and I couldnt help snapping some pics.

and of course I had to add in a picture of one of mine

After we got done at my aunt and uncle’s anniversary party in Sonora, I decided to take the kids on a drive. We drove up until we saw snow on the ground. The kids were very excited to make snow balls, and go “sledding” haha (they basically just scooted around on their bums in a parking lot).

We happen to be driving past Columbia at sundown on the way home, so we stopped and I pulled out my camera! I love love love Columbia, and it is such a gorgeous backdrop for pictures! I would love to go back and do some more if anyone is interested.

So here are my boys, actually looking at the camera! They must’ve been having fun, because it’s usually like pulling teeth.

it seems I have outgrown my camera, because I was ready for an upgrade. I was excited to try out my new amazing piece of machinery, and had my cousin and her little boy model for me, I love love loved all of them!!

I am editing the last of my pictures from LAST YEAR! I guess it was only 16 days ago, but I have been super busy! I just had to post these pics of these cute sisters! They are dolls! More of them and their family to come soon.

My Boys on Halloween!

This location was perfect for this Halloween shoot. Little Red Riding hood was so animated! How fitting that her big brother was the Big Bad Wolf, haha.

Cutest Halloween Costumes ever! This family went all out, and they were adorable!

What a cute family! They were the recipients of  the August giveaway. Here is a preview.

I love that fall is around the corner. The colors, and leaves are perfect for pictures. Here are some of this adventurous little one-year-old and his mommy, who are also my cousins visiting from out of town. Too bad daddy wasn’t able to come. Maybe next time.
