Elf on the Shelf

If you haven't read this cute book you must! I am so happy we were introduced to it. My kids are on their best behavior for our little house elf! I just can't get enough of this new holiday tradition!

Call Upon the Shelf to schedule your session with the Elf on the Shelf today!

Gotta Love it...

Isn't she gorgeous?

Olson Family

I love this family. Like, really love this family. Rachel is the BEST! I tell her that a lot and it is absolutely true. I have taken their pictures for a few years now and I look forward to it every year! This year was especially fun. Rachel wanted to do two seperate sessions, one indoor and one outdoor. The indoor session focused on the kids, mostly Tyce since he is getting so big, but it's hard to resist her other two cuties so I got a bunch of them too. The second session Rachel scouted out an apple orchard for some family portraits and it couldn't have been more perfect! I had a really hard time narrowing these down so I hope you don't mind the abundance of these pictures!

First off, the indoor session...

Rachel got the kids these super cute outfits in Germany this summer. Too cute!

Here are the pictures from our Apple Orchard Session...

TJ is a State Farm Insurance agent and this is his awesome truck! I want one of my own, if only to use for my photography! He wanted a fun picture to put in his office. Seriously love the truck!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...

I love this time of year! I love the lights, goodies and decorations. I love the carols, candles and good cheer. It is magical. One of my all time favorite parts of the year is the exchange of Christmas Cards. I love checking my mailbox every day excited to see who sent us a card and well wishes. I love packaging and sending out my own warm fuzzies to those I love and care about most. That is what this holiday is about. Sending love and feeling it in return.

Happy Holidays!

Henrie Family

Love this family! We are related so that may have something to do with it! Briggs is a boy on the run! He kept me on my toes the whole time! The smile never left his face, it was great! Thanks, guys, for a great afternoon!



The Burt Family

Loved meeting this sweet family! It was so fun to watch them interact and help eachother. I have been to this location a hundred times and somehow never managed to find this spot... I am in heaven! I absolutely LOVE it! I'm so glad we found it, Alyse!

Another Sweet Family

Love this family. So sweet, so happy. Had a great time taking their pictures. And visiting. But I must say I am still holding a grudge, Brandon, don't mock the wheels!

Party House

This was one big family. We took so many pictures I can't even come close to posting all of the different dynamics. We had a great time together and I loved meeting them! They compared themselves to the family on Everybody Loves Raymond, and I couldn't have laughed harder! How awesome would that be? I would be laughing, out loud, every day if I could be surrounded by that! They were full of sarcasm and smiles. So much fun to be around. Thanks guys, for a great time!
