Baby Ava - 2 weeks old

Little Ava arrived a few weeks early and at two weeks old is still really tiny. She did pretty well last Saturday getting moved around. Big sister wouldn't be in any pictures with her, but I got some sweet ones with mom and dad. Here are my favorites:


















Big Family Photo

This is the first year that I've had to try and entertain my own child for pictures while figuring out how to be in the picture. I set the camera on a tripod and used a remote trigger to take several pictures and just hope that one would turn out. As soon as we started, my hungry baby started to cry, and my 2.5 year old nephew started to get upset. I'll admit I was a bit overwhelmed trying to orchestrate my own family photo. But.. it was a success afterall. At least enough of a success! I'd say we look alright considering it was chaos right before this picture:

David's Family

David is my oldest brother, Adam (in the post below) is my older brother. David's family was last in the family lineup for pictures this year. I didn't get to do a lot with them because the little one didn't want to participate; he wanted to play with his cousins. I still captured several that I love. Here are my favorites:













Adam's Family

You guys were so great to work with.. thanks for your patience and cooperation and endurance of the heat! Here are some of my favorites:
