Ours...

They melt my heart every day! They make me laugh and smile. I love looking at their pictures. I have no artwork in my house, only them!

If only he was available to be my full time assistant. He makes them laugh every time!.......

Happy Fall!

Finally, Happy Fall! Here in the Valley of the Sun we are finally enjoying the nice weather and spending time outdoors. Summer lasts forever but now...endless beautiful days.
These guys are getting so big... I love watching them grow and taking their pictures every few months...

I just love this picture. She reminds me of my favorite madame Alexander doll growing up. She has the perfect porcelain skin, beautiful eyes, and lips.

Happy Halloween!

Happy First Halloween to these girls!
Here is Abbie as Abby Cadabby...

A Little Flower... Minnie Mouse...

Cousins

What fun! I love watching my children grow up with their cousins. They are all close in age and have a blast playing together. Here are some cousin pics I recently took...

I love this. Classic "I hate the texture if the grass" shot! "A" has suddenly turned into a little ham. She loved getting her picture taken last weekend.

Wow a shot with 5 of them! And here is "Party Pants" She is such a hoot, just look at her smile....

"H" is our only boy cousin and my boys love going crazy with him! Usually jumping on the bed is the #1 activity of each visit together. We were lucky to recently spend some time in San Diego together. Here are some shots of the craziness...

Thanks for visiting,

Carrie

Check out these handsome guys. One senior and two graduates along with their proud Dad. I am glad we were able to get this photo shoot done just in time for the two oldest to leave for college!
Just look at dad looking at them and you can tell how proud he is... and he should be!
Here is the Senior...
And the Graduates are twins.... Now away from home at college.

thanks for taking a peek,
Carrie

Back from Vacation

We had a fabulous time in San Diego! We were having so much fun I almost didn't get beach some pictures.
She took the best naps with the ocean sounds!..

The boys had a BLAST!

7 day old twins

Look at these precious newborn twins. I love it when I get to be a part of the first few weeks of life. These girls are so blessed to be born into a wonderful family.

And here is sweet big brother who was my instant friend!

Shutter shy....

Take a look at this adorable little toddler. You'd never know by these photos that she is terrified of the click of the shutter. Poor thing nearly jumped out of her skin by the sound of the click. Mom says she does the same at home with their SLR camera so they rarely use it. Thanks to some waterplay and songs, we got some really cute shots of her.

ok...here is the "I'm terrified of your camera pose"...

Thanks for playing & singing with me!

Future Photographers

Every time I take pictures at home, this is what they do! Especially my 4 year old. He loves to take pictures with me. He now uses 3 of my old cameras, sometimes 2 at a time. What talent! Here are some of his photos.....

And of course a self portrait... Lots to post soon of recent sessions. I am finally getting back into the swing of things!
