Fawson Family

I'm finally getting around to posting the rest of my holiday sessions. I loved this family, and I had so many favorite pictures from this session. Their outfits are adorable, and so are they!

If anyone ever asks me where I learned how to do photography, I don't hesitate to tell them about the Clickinmoms forum. It's an online forum where everyone with a passion for photography from newbies to professionals gather and share information. I have learned everything I know from this website, and it is simply awesome. I've taken a couple classes through this site as well, and during my last class I got to know some fellow photographers pretty well! We've decided to start a monthly blog circle called "The way I view" and we'll have a different theme every month.

This month's theme is Tradition. I have to admit I dropped the ball this month. These are all pictures I took during the holiday, but not one of them did I take with the theme in mind. I really hope to do better with this month and have some better images to share with you all.

Tradition in December means Christmas time to me. We, as all families do, have traditions that have to be kept every year. On my husbands side, there is the traditional Mexican feast on Christmas Eve and the bunco and white elephant exchange. On my side there is the traditional Christmas breakfast of hot chocolate and German Sugar Cake which was passed down to us from my Great Grandmother Schmuhl. We are blessed to live only 3 hours away from our families and are able to visit both sides every Christmas in Northern Arizona. It always snows. We always play in it. My kids freeze. We always make cookies for Santa. The kids love to play the piano. We read Christmas stories. We always get a picture overlooking the top of the stairs on Christmas morning. I hope my traditions are conveyed a little in these pictures, and like I said, I will do better next month!

This is a blog circle, so follow the trail and go check out the talented Sherri Davis's blog next! She has such a cute post about going to cut down their tree! Such a cute tradition! Check it out http://sherridavisphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2013/1/the-way-i-view-traditions

Baby Jaxson

I have not updated my blog in forever! It is my goal to catch up with blogging all my holiday sessions this week. But to hold you over here is a post from my most recent session.

I just love newborn babies! This session was so fun and so easy! The family is adorable, and baby Jaxson was the easiest baby I've ever photographed. He was very cooperative and slept the whole time! Enjoy the cuteness :)

Petersen's

Last Saturday I got to photograph a couple! It was so much fun and such an awesome change of pace. I'm so used to family sessions where I'm always trying to get little ones' attention. It was so nice to have people who actually took direction! haha. It was little awkward for me at first, but I quickly moved past it and we got some really beautiful shots. The Groves were swarming that day, so after awhile we walked around the church that's also on that property, and even crossed the busy street to explore the pretty farmland. It was a blast! Enjoy these!

Mulder Family

I had such a fun family session last week! I just love the outfits they chose, and I love that they brought such fun props! This is one of my favorite sessions to date. Enjoy!

Yarn Family

I love photographing families. Especially when the families are friends of mine! I've known them since we were in college, and I've loved seeing their family grow. They've made 3 of the cutest little girls I've ever seen!
