Peter + Family Sneak Peek

As I keep mentioning, I decided to order a Christmas background and take some personal photos this year. I figured since I had it, I may as well put it to use and offered to take photos for a handful of friends and co-workers. One of my co-workers decided to take me up on the offer and brought his whole family along for the fun.

I've known Peter for about 8-9 years. I worked with him years ago, shortly after relocating to Arizona, but I had lost touch with him when I left the office where we worked together. When I made a job change back in July 2019 it was a pleasant surprise to find out that Peter was at the new office. It's been a pleasure working with him again!

Please allow me to introduce you to Peter, Sam, Kenzie and Masen:

I have to say that they did an awesome job planning what to wear!  I love how the black stands out against the blue and white of the background!
I love this one of Kenzie laughing...
I told the kids to give me their best attitude faces. They did petty good, didn't they?...
LOVE Masen's smirk!...
Look at those handsome guys!...
And gorgeous girls!...
Peter's brother, Josh, and his new girlfriend joined in for some photo fun, too!...
And so did Peter's parents!...
Aren't they just the cutest?...
A little wardrobe change...
I just love both of these next two photos of the kids with their parents and then grandparents...
How fun are these outfits?!...
And a few more just for fun...
Thank you guys for allowing me to capture these photos for you! It was fun getting to know you all a bit better.

Luke + Kim + Shannon's Sneak Peek

Some of my favorite people are back on the blog!  If this family looks familiar, it is because I took their holiday photos for them a few years ago, too. 

This year has been a doozy, hasn't it?!  Like many of you, I really haven't been leaving the house much these days.  I pretty much go to work, come home, and then sit in front of the TV until bedtime.  So, prior to taking these photos it had been waaaayyyyyy too long since I had laid eyes on these faces!

I decided that I wanted to take some Christmas photos of our dogs (stay tuned!) this year, and maybe even some of us with the dogs (stay tuned!) so I ordered a Christmas photography background from Amazon.  Since I had it, I decided I may as well put it to use and offered to take photos for a few friends and coworkers. Kim decided to take me up on the offer, so the three of them came over to the house where I set everything up in the backyard.  It wasn't the prefect setup, but overall I think the photos turned out pretty well!

Say hello to Shannon, Kim, and Luke:

Shannon decided to rock a Christmas sweater for the first part of the photos.  It has a dog on it, so of course I love it!

I think Shannon had fun with her photos this year! She came up with her own poses for many of these and I think she did a great job...
I can't believe how fast Shannon is growing up! It seems like just yesterday she was a little girl...
A few of mom and daughter...
Can we say GORGEOUS!? I have to admit that I completely adore Kim's hair short and I'm a bit jealous at how well she can pull it off!...
How cute is Shannon!?...
And of course, some of dad and daughter...
I just LOVE this one!...
So stinkin' cute...
Kisses for dad...
A few more of Kim and Shannon...
Kisses for mom...
A few of the whole family...
Shannon decided she needed a wardrobe change for the end of our session!...
Once again, I love the photos of them laughing. It just warms my heart to see these images...
And one more of Shannon with a beloved stuffed animal...
Kim, Luke, and Shannon, It was sooooo good to see you guys again and catch up! Thank you for allowing me to capture these photos of your precious family.
