Photos by Carrie: 2009

>> Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Little girls love to play dress up. This girl's mom brought a couple of her daughter's favorite dress up outfits to her photo shoot and I'm so glad she did. I just love these pictures.

This couple had recently gotten married out of town but wanted to have a second reception event for their friends and family in the bay area. Yes, the food was as good as it looks!

Blue Eyes but not so Blue Skies

The day after this shoot it actually snowed...very rare here! Fortunately we had a little sun and were able to find some shelter from the chilly wind. Oh, to have bright blue eyes like this little boy.

Christmas Cheer

Don't these pictures make you want to get out the hot cocoa and sing carols? The holidays are a popular time for familes to take pictures since they can also use them for their holiday cards. I love the red sweaters.

Baking Birthday Party

>> Friday, November 20, 2009

Combine flour, sugar, yeast, frosting, and your kindergarten classmates, and you've got yourself one fun birthday baking party. The kids made and decorated their own pretzels, ice cream cone cupcakes, and even their own aprons. It was some good, messy fun!

sweet one year old

There's just something so special about one year olds when they are starting to walk and are showing more of their personalities. This little girl was no exception.

boys will be boys

This was a great session with a really fun family. The boys had lots of fun exploring our shoot location. I have to admit that I had a lot of fun too!

and baby makes six...

The first time I took pictures for this family, they had just had their third baby. They now have another beautiful baby boy. While we were taking family pictures, we also got some adorable shots of all of the kids, including a precious mom and baby portrait.

The virtues of pink and green

>> Saturday, November 14, 2009

When I was growing up, "The Preppy Handbook" instructed us on the virtues of pink and green. I love that this still holds true after so many years and that these best friends chose those colors for their senior shoot together. I took these photos on a very hot and humid summer day in Texas. It was over 100 degrees and these girls were such good sports.

it's good to be three!

I'm so lucky to be able to capture the memories as families celebrate their children's birthdays. These three year olds had a great time at this fun party. I especially enjoyed it since my son had his party at this same venue when he was this age. Lot of happy memories!
