This weekend was COLD and wet! I wasn’t sure that we would be able to even get out to do their family portrait. But even though it was chilly and cloudy we ventured out to grab some shots of this beautiful family. You’ve seen them many times before! Way back in July of 2007 we did Carrie’s maternity shots. Then in October of 2007 little Addie was born. In May I asked for them to come over to try out a new light and these are my favorite images of Addie. It has been so much fun to see my friends family grow and it’s going to grow again next year! Yes! She’s expecting and due in April! She’s got the cutest little bump that you’ll see in some of the images below. Congrats you guys! I know that we can’t wait to meet your little one!
I had to share this. As I was processing these images my daughter came up to look at them and said, without any word from me “Addie’s my best friend.”. Precious!
Thank you for asking me to document your family and enduring the cold weather with me. Every time is a honor and a joy for me. I had a great time!

I can’t tell you how excited I was that I got a shot of Miss Addie smiling. She’s a tough cookie and really made me work for this one! The things I do for a smile…

I love this shot. Mom and Dad are so proud of their little girl!

Even though she’s serious, I love her look into the camera. It’s intense and I love that! Those blue eyes are all her…not altered in any way!

Miss Independent!

Ha! I got a little smile here, too!

A little fun in the leaves!

* Adorable *

Some love from Dad.

The next two images are my fave’s!

They were watching the water below and dropping leaves. For me this is a precious moment of just being together. No posing required.

Time to swing! See Carrie’s little bump? Love it!

I love these on the bench. Addie turns 1 this weekend! Happy Birthday!

Is that another smile? Thanks Dad for getting that one.

Another fave! I have to say that I love her more serious looks. I love those eyes!

A little grab shot at the end while she was warming up with Dad. I think she could see herself in my camera lens and I took advantage of it. Sweet girl!
