Samantha- 7 months November 29, 2009

Ha ha ha… to  my friends who know Chris & Wendy. I got to see them. For those of you who don’t know them, Chris and Wendy are friends of mine that moved to Kentucky at the end of the Spring. I visited them and did some pictures of their adorable daughter in July and so when they were up this last week for Thanksgiving, we squeezed in a quick session between their families. It was great to see them and do a little session even if it was quick. Sam just keeps getting cuter, even if her new mobility makes her a little more of a challenge. It was great seeing you guys. Hope you love the pictures.

The Kinney’s November 29, 2009

I met Jillian through another friend and we hit it off immediately. She’s great. I was honored when she asked me to do some pictures of her family. They were a ton of fun, her kids and husband were great. I was cracking up the whole time, and in the midst of that, we happened to get some pretty good shots. Enjoy!

The Anderson’s November 10, 2009

I know the Anderson’s from church and had the opportunity to spend some time with Rebecca when we played on a sand volleyball team together earlier this fall. We had talked then about getting together to do pictures. This weekend in Ohio was BEAUTIFUL. Hard to believe it was November. I spent some time with this wonderful family at Scioto Park and captured some wonderful shots. It was great getting to hang out with them and get to know their family a little more.

Austin November 8, 2009

Austin belongs to my friend Sandy, who I know through work and of course his daddy Nick. I met up with the three of them Saturday night to do a quick session. We snuck in a few pictures outside before the sun went down and then went back and hung out at the house. Austin cooperated amazingly (especially considering it was 1/2 hour past feeding time by the time we were finished). He’s adorable and we got some great shots. I love the naked ones at the end.

The Haser Family November 1, 2009

I got hooked up with the Haser family through another session I did earlier this year. They were a crazy and fun bunch and overall the kids hung in there the whole time. Great job Misty for getting everyone together and color coordinated.  They were a great family and I look forward to more sessions with all of them.

The Schreiner’s October 29, 2009

So I’ve lived in Ohio going on 5 years (crazy huh) and had never been to Hocking Hills State Park. My friend Jennifer wanted some new pictures of her and her kids, Ali & AJ, so we spent the day hiking around. IT WAS AMAZING! I have about 200 or so other images to go through besides these from that day, but I didn’t want her (or you all) to have to wait to see some of the images, so here those are now. Check back later for more Hocking Hills images once I finally get around to editing them. For now, enjoy the Schreiner’s pictures in this amazing landscape.

Lukas Matthew 1 month October 29, 2009

Since I’m out of order anyways, I figured I might as well put this one up next. The 4 weeks since Lukas was born has flown by. Probably even more so for his parents. He’s still a really good baby and Matt & Jackie are getting into a routine, just in time for her to head back to work.

 It’s crazy to see how much he’s changed and grown already, don’t you think?

Lukas Matthew Endsley Arrives October 28, 2009

This one probably should have gone first, guess I’m a little out of order, oh well. On September 19th, my good friend Jackie gave birth to Lukas Matthew. He’s kind of a psuedo nephew to me as Jackie and I have been friends for 13 or so year and moved to ohio together and all that jazz. We were so excited when he came. These pictures are a day after he was born because I was working all day and unable to get to the hospital until the sunday after. Such a cutie and a very relaxed baby. Can’t believe he’s a month old already at this point (those pictures are next, or first depending on what order you are looking at this. )

Keeping up with The Jones’ October 28, 2009

Funny I know.  This is another co-worker connection. Roxanne works with my friend Jackie at work and got hooked up with me for a family session early in the month. We had a great time with her kids exploring the waterfall and taking an unplanned little hike. It made for great pictures and the kids were extremely cooperative. What a cute family huh?
