{M} called me early early in the fall to plan a date.  They only had a few dates that would work so we picked one that was months out...and just the luck for a storm to be moving in on that specific day.  We decided to try to beat the storm and get up super early...but after 20 minutes it was clear we weren't going to be able to finish.  So they get to have two different backgrounds for their 2012 pictures!

Party at the Petroleum Club

During December, a good friend called me late one night in a panic.  Her husband's work party had forgotten to schedule a photographer and needed someone immediately.  I was actually still dressed from a Christmas party and was able to go.  I'm so thankful to Lori for calling me that night!  It was a new experience for me!

{G} Family of Seven...

...soon to be eight!  Love this family!  Each of my kids has an exact age match so everyone has a buddy.  Cute cute kids-I'd have a huge picture of each kid on my wall if I were {H}.  The funny part of their session was getting locked INSIDE of the park.  We each had to climb over a very tall fence and hand the kids up and over to the other adult.  As soon as I got in the car I called park management to complain!  Thankfully, we are close friends with this family and we laughed.  Not all families would think it was funny!

{W} Family

This family wins the cutest Christmas card that we got this year!  I loved loved it!  We met for a short 30 minutes one Saturday and moved fast.  Love their sweet momma...she and I talk every single day sometimes for a LONG time!  

{O} Engagement

These two are already married so I can post the engagement pictures!  {J} is so gorgeous....{B} is a lucky man!  

{G} Family

We had great weather and the trees were so bright and pretty on this day.  Mom & Dad took the plunge in the last year and have both become successful realtors in this area.  No more super early mornings for Miss News Reporter.  I know she and her family are enjoying that!  

Fun {F} Family

These kids have great personalities!  We've known mom and dad for about nine years now.  After several reschedules, we finally got their pictures finished!

{M} Family

Love it when pictures are fun and easy!  {R} is a great friend of mine and has been for many years.  We did a quick session before they headed out of town for Thanksgiving.
