Our last official photo shoot of 2015! (Yes, we still have to do our own Christmas card photos…guess those will be going out late again this year.)  What a great way to end 2015…with a wonderful family  🙂  It was another blustery day, but Alex and Matthew were warm in their cute little sweater vests (how cute are they?!)  Alex loved playing in the sand, digging holes, and skipping rocks. He gave us his happy smile, and ran on the shore like a carefree little boy without a worry in the world. Matthew’s little hair curls blew in the wind, and made us all smile. He seemed to like the wind in his face, and snuggles from his mom and dad 🙂  The little strip of beach we shot on was fairly busy (with dogs and people), and I tried to avoid shooting the large black plastic fence cover blowing to the right of us (seriously, it looked like a 10 foot high by 60 foot long black Hefty bag blowing in the wind)…but our family really worked that spot! It’s not the location, but our families that make our shoots successful, and we had the MOST fabulous family EVER this afternoon!  Thank you, Mom and Dad, for braving the wind and suspiciously cloudy skies. It was so wonderful seeing you all again this year! We can’t believe how much the boys have grown over the past year!!!  Click HERE to see Matthew’s 2014 Newborn Shoot. Here’s your sneak peek:

Little Cameron is our last newborn for 2015! What a little cutie…he looked exactly like big sister, Kaycie  🙂  Click HERE to see Kaycie’s newborn shoot, and click HERE to see Kaycie’s 2014 shoot.  Cameron was so sleepy for his individual shots, and was so easy to work with! Kaycie was a pro at carrying her new baby brother (it’s one thing for an older sibling to be able to carry their new baby brother or sister, it’s another thing to be able to hold them in a pose that photographs well).  Congratulations, Mom and Dad…it seems like just yesterday we were shooting Kaycie in her newborn shoot!  It was great seeing all of you again this year, may little Cameron have a wonderful first Christmas!  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

The wind was whipping wildly around us, and hair and sand were flying everywhere! Mom and Kailee dutifully had hairspray on their hair (thank you, Mom!)…something I usually recommend for our beach shoots because the wind coming off the ocean can be very strong, but that wind was fierce. Even though it wasn’t raining (we had a very wet fall this year), we apparently had a high wind warning that day (I got the warning on my phone just as we finished our shoot  🙁  ).  If there was ever a family that had to endure this blustery day, this was our family. Kailee was AMAZING! Just like our previous shoots with Kailee, she took instruction well, and gave us her naturally beautiful smile. Click HERE to see Kailee’s 2014 shoot. Not once did she complain about the wind, flying sand or feeling cold. Thank you, Kailee (and Mom and Dad) for being SO patient. Kailee, it was a joy to work with you  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

I was floored when Mom texted me the photo of the hot air balloon prop. I was even more stunned when I found out that she made the prop herself! She even macraméd the cover for the balloon…just amazing!  She said she worked diligently on it every night after Stella went to sleep.  It was beautiful (almost as beautiful as Stella  😉  )!  Click HERE to see Stella’s 6-month shoot. It was great to see Stella’s Grandma and Grandpa, they were such a big help. This truly was a family event!  Stella loved all of the props that Mom and Dad brought for her.  She had fun in her hot air balloon, and she REALLY loved the LED string of lights that Mom, Dad and Grandma kept on pulling out of her mouth, LOL! Thanks so much for a fun shoot, Stella and family! I’m so glad that the weather held up for us (it literally rained up until we started shooting, then rained as we were packing up at the end of the shoot).  Here’s your sneak peek:
