mas moss

i have known this family for over 30 years (hard to believe since i just turned 23!) and have loved them since day one.

jackie was my first girlfriend, and even though we lost contact for about 20 years, we
reconnected and i am so happy to have her in my life.

thank you mosses for sharing your love with me!

swee-eet senior

and gorgeous to boot! i swear, when i was in high school, no one was this supermodel-y (new word).
and sweet.
such a doll to work with. thank you chelsea, the pleasure was all mine!

(HAD to have a shot of the beautiful woman responsible for this beauty!)

i'll be home for christmas

...and not just in my dreams!

as you know, my bff is here.
to stay.
i know i keep harping on it, but she's been gone for ELEVEN years. that's like 87 in bff years!

without further ado, here is their christmas shoot:

the FUNchess family

this shoot was so. much. FUN!

i love this family, and if i didnt have such a great one of my own, i would want them to adopt me. so easy with their laughs and love for each other. there was no faking the bond this family has.

love. them.

my bestie from the pacific northwesty

is now here for good! there are not enough words to express how completely happy and in love i am with her (and her family, of course).
i have waited my whole life to shoot them and i was finally given the opportunity.
this was taken the week of the balloon fiesta in their backyard...b.e.a UTIFUL!

we've been friends for 12 years...

...and i was so ready to kill this girl. in fact, i told her if she doesn't stop telling her littles to smile, wipe vavas off their faces or lick their hair into place, i would kick her in the face. honest! despite the hard time she gave me, i think we got some pretty good shots. oy, auntie nessa!

boys...wow!

i had the opportunity to shoot a family with two boys. i have never had the pleasure or challenge of two young chaps. holy everything holy! i have never worked so hard, but had so much fun!
