Gonzales Family {Claremont Family Photographer}

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting the Gonzales family for some family portraits. I've been so busy with weddings lately that I forgot how much I enjoy chasing after kids with my camera :-) This family is so precious and they were an absolute joy to photograph!

Hugs and kisses!

Everytime the kids heard a train go by (a common occurence in Claremont) they got so excited! (Below)

Of course we had to get a few of just mom and dad!

This little girl was hard to keep in place! She is just so darn cute!

After we did some of the family portraits, we just let the kids have a little fun!

Looking for the train!

The end! Gonzales family, it was so wonderful to meet you! I hope you find some pictures you love :-)

Carney Family {Claremont Family Photographer}

I met the Carney's back in December for some Holiday card pictures and it has taken me 3 months to blog them because I had such a hard time chosing my favorites. If I had my way, this post would have all 100+ pictures - but I realize that might be a little overwhelming to my readers :-) So, here is a sampling of some of my favorites from their shoot (emphasis on the "some" - I have so many!!). Enjoy!

Samantha {Claremont Children's Photographer}

This little girl was a blast to photograph. I am finding that sessions with kids require a large amount of flexibility, because they usually run the show :-) Samantha wasn't a huge fan of sitting, so instead we ran around and played in the leaves! These pictures make me smile:

The fun, girly headbands are starting to grow on me! I think I want one for myself!! ;-)

A few for the Christmas card!

Morris Family {Claremont Family Photographer}

I had such a great time with the Morris family. They were super sweet, comfortable in front of the camera and the kids are just precious! Here are some of my favorites :-)

Doesn't his smile just melt your heart??

The picture on the left (below) is one of my favorites from the session. Such a concerned and confused look on his face...Precious.
