Okay, I’m kidding really – but what better way to preserve the absoulte stunning beauty of a winter snow storm than through photographs?  I can think of nothing better on a hot sunny day then to sit with a cold drink in hand and gaze at scenes of a freezing cold winter day!

We had the chance to photograph a few wintry sessions, including these fabulous photos of Kim, Kelsey & Nolan.  The kids were willing models and so adorable; red-headed twins!!  No words needed to describe Mom’s good looks but what most strikes me about her is her powerful love for her kids.  I love looking at these photos because I remember the tender look on her face as she watched her kids being photographed.

For anyone else willing to brave the elements with us – let’s go!

Their visits  have inspired me to dedicate the next few posts to families – lots of photos to share!

We enjoy photographing weddings and watching two  people start a new family;  young couples with their brand new babies;  young families busy with activities; parents of teenagers steadying themselves to let them loose alone; (yeah, that pretty much describes me!) and finally, proud grandparents with growing clans.  We are constantly reminded how quickly each of these stages pass.

Check out these 2 little doll faces!

Of course we do that at every wedding, but the time is short and the locations are limited. It’s great to have some time to get to know our families and spend that extra time at a portrait session.

We love going on location. Everyone is more relaxed and the photographs so much more meaningful in their home or at a location which is important to them. I would love to have had a family portrait in my childhood home in Uniontown.

We hope you enjoy our new family and children website – it’s still a work in progress, but getting there.

Here’s a few samples. I’ve taken some artistic license with a couple of the more recent cards, not wanting to spoil the surprise.

Barb and I hope that everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

It was a working weekend for us with family and engagement portraits, but we did take some time off and had a fun and relaxing turkey day.

This is always a busy time of year for us with album and print orders and Christmas cards. It’s still not too late to have your family portrait updated before the holiday. It doesn’t always look that way to the naked eye, but there’s still a lot of color and beauty in the winter scenery.

The American lifestyle is more casual these days and our families want their portraits to reflect their personalities.

I love photographing families in their homes or in a favorite park. Everyone is much more relaxed and expressions are more natural.

I remember when our guys were this age – how much fun it was to go the playground and just run around and burn off some energy.
