I love when a big extended family gets together.  There is so much excitement and comments on how much the children have grown.  This family was so fun, we had a lot of pictures to take and everyone jumped right in with big smiles.  This small sneak peak is only a few of all they had to choose from. By the way, isn't this barn picture perfect - I love the small hints of bright yellow.  

Oh Miss Mayzi!  Those big blue eyes and that dark hair.  It was one cold fall day and this girl just walked around and every once in awhile gave us a quick grin, never once letting the forest or cold stop her.  I'm so happy I could take her photo's.  In just a few months I hope to get the whole family in a few shots!  Can't wait!

It's taken some time, but I'm starting to have friends in Heber!  We love the Kohler's, especially their little guy.  I did their pictures in their backyard.  How's that for the perfect view.  The fall leaves were at their prime and added a pop of color to this cute family. 

A year a go I took my sister's family pictures .  We had so much fun!  Jade is the funniest kid you will ever meet.  He makes everyone laugh which was awesome for the family shots.  However, when it came to an individual shot, we couldn't get him to stop goofing around.  Jenny ended up blowing up the shots of all the other kids, but there was no great vertical shot of Jade. So we went back to the spot to re-create some verticals.  Let's just say Jade was on his best behavior - that's one handsome kid!
