Meet the Neumanns...

I know that I said I was taking the rest of December off to spend with my family. Well.... this family is like my extended family. Our daughters are best friends. It seems like we have get togethers every weekend. So, when Mom called me for a shoot (a little late- haha) I couldn't say no. Here's your sneak peek:)

"What are little boys made of?"

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of !"
 
Meet little Mr. Gannon! He is the cutest little fella and  I think he closes out my year of boys. Seriously, it feels like I have only had boys this year. Not that I am complaining:) Boys are always fun. I know this for fact as I have three myself. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek and get a look at gorgeous Mom!
 

{ Daddy's girl }

"Come on in boy sit on down

And tell me about yourself

So you like my daughter do you now?

Yeah we think she's something else

She's her daddy's girl

Her momma's world

She deserves respect

That’s what she'll get

Ain’t it son?

Hey y'all run along and have some fun

I'll see you when you get back

Bet I’ll be up all night

Still cleanin' this gun"

I know that I am further proving my friend, Nikki, right. She thinks that I ONLY know beautiful children. What can I say??? I LOVE my job;)

{ as good as it gets }

Ok, I know that there are more images here than my usual sneak peeks, but I could NOT narrow down my favorites any further than this. This session was "as good as it gets!" Mom teaches my fitness class (yes, she kicks my butt) and we have been talking for a while now about getting some family shots. I have known Dad since high school. Together, they have surely made a GORGEOUS family and I was more than happy to prove it;) I LOVE their kiddies and wanted to bring them home. (What's a few more when you already have 5, right?) Enjoy the pics, you have MANY more to look forward to!

Wow! My week has been full! I have had the pleasure of having a couple of play dates in the past few days, but, today, I had the honor of photographing a beautiful family. (Ummm, can they get any prettier???) We went to one of my most requested spots, a scenic old farm.

I have been excited to work with this family since Mom booked me, but now I'm even more excited because Mom has agreed to go on a "Scarlett" adventure with me within the next couple of months. Stay tuned for those images! For now, please enjoy today's outing.

I have had some wonderful play dates lately and today was no exception. Luke and I ventured around a farm. He played on a tractor, peaked in a barn, and wanted to feed the cows. Luke is only two, but his vocabulary and language skills are HUGE! We had a blast... as you can tell:) Hope you enjoy your sneak peek, Melanie!
