Elliot

WOW has Elliot grown!!! and he's only 3 1/2 months!!! I keep thinking he's older. He took some good pictures. Lots of smiles and laughs and he wasn't trying to grab everything close to him or crawl away (I'm not used to that). I think my Devyn is so big but I'm beginning to realize she's just active I've seen some chunky 3-4 month olds lately! I sure do miss that sweet age.

Good job Elliot being super cute!

girls, girls, girls

I love repeat families. And I love them even more when they have beautiful nieces!!! I got to photograph the baby when she was less than a week old 4 months ago, and the other little girl I did her 1 year old pics in October. I can't believe how fast time goes by.

and I can't believe how incredibly sweet and beautiful these girls are. No wonder the boys at the park were trying to get a picture taken with them!

Luckily they were a little grossed out and annoyed by that. haha.


So glad we were able to get together!

For my mom

Ramsay Family Reunion. May 29-June 3, 2010.
We all went to church together then ate lunch, Ashleigh was the only one with a snack before lunch so she made a lot of friends real fast.







It was so awesome to see everyone again (and all the kids they've had that I hadn't even met yet!) I loved seeing my grandpa, I'm sure we wore him out that week. We played some fun picture games like everyone who's birthday is in January...etc. We had birthday's in everyone month!!! my favorite was the everyone over 60, 59-50. 49-40, etc.. when there's 13 (or so) kids under the age of 5 picture taking is real fun and interesting. sorry I didn't post that pic. I just grabbed a few real fast. But here's June birthdays (it has a lot of my favorite people, my mom, grandpa, and my hubby!!!) and the under 30 group (yup! I'm still in the group, sadly my husband leaves me there tomorrow! haha)

The Nieto's

I don't think of myself as being very old (espcially when you're number 5 of 6, everyone else around you is always older!). I mean, my kids are little, even though I do have 3 of them! I'm not 30, yet. But when I go on a photo shoot and the oldest was my first piano student when he was in the 1st grade and he's getting ready to start middle school then I kind of take a step back and go "When did that happen?!" When the first time you met the baby he was actually a BABY! seriously, no one is allowed to grow up! But they're such good boys, and they were super cute and easy to take pictuers with. Get them talking about sports and showing me their tricks and we could of stayed out taking pictures all day. Luckily it was blistering hot and we all just wanted to get back in our air-condionted vehicles. Next time! Thanks for going out on such a hot day in the afternoon with me!

The Ficklin's

Saturday was BUSY and a blast. All these boys have their birthdays during the summer so we always have a family summer shoot. It felt (and looked) like it was a crazy shoot but I knew the pictures would turn out great. Such a fun family! You can see they're fun and full of personality by looking at the pictures. and just for the record I've decided that 3 kids is crazy! I feel like I can't get anything done, someone is always crying or hungry (or is that just having a new baby?) I feel a little lost this summer. But I'm still here if you can catch me.
