Kimoto Kiddos

I am so jealous of this darling family right now, because as I type this post I know they are basking in the warm sun of Hawaii. Mom and dad surprised their 5 kids with a trip the day after Thanksgiving. I secretly wanted to be adopted right then and there when she told me :) Haha....well, I will just have to soak up all the lovely sun from these photos. It was a beautiful evening. Sometimes I think it is a little unfair to get paid for something I love to do so much. Especially to the rest of the working world :) I am a lucky girl. Mari, it was a pleasure to meet you and your beautiful family. Thank you for having me!

I know that baby sister is not so happy in this photo but I just love it so much. I love the sun, the warmth, big sister holding her hand while snuggling little brother, their faces, just everything!

Snow Bunnies

My sister wanted snow, so we went and found snow! We took these last week before the big storm so we had to go up in the mountains to find snow. She was right, the outfits she picked were perfect for a snowy background. It was 27 degrees and I am pretty sure it took two days for me to feel my hands again...haha. We could only stay out about 15 minutes at a time or the girls were freezing. What am I saying, we ALL were freezing. It was worth it though to get these darling pictures of my nieces. Thanks for the snowy adventure Ber. Love ya!

Gentry and Cash

Can you believe how big sweet baby Cash is getting. Yes, he is that precious baby boy in my blog header sleeping in daddy's hands. I just can't believe how fast they grow. Big sister Gentry is just darling as can be. Yes- she is almost 2, so you know what that means, a great workout! :) Mom even said she got her exercise in for the week...haha! We had such a blast on this chilly morning. Cheryl, I always love to see you and your cutie pies. Tell Alicia thanks for the assistance and song singing :) Love you guys!

Little Lady

I think my favorite part about family pictures is listening to what parents call their kids. We have quite the long list of silly little names as our three kiddos have grown, so I just loved it when I heard them call their sweet baby girl "Little Lady". It fit her perfect. Four month old Elsa was just precious as can be and her first time parents, Angella and Erik, were giddy with every smile and coo she made. Angella and I went to high school together but she now lives in San Francisco...I'm so jealous! :) They were coming to town and when she asked me to take photos while they were here I just couldn't wait. Ang, your family is beautiful and I loved seeing you after all this time. You look gorgeous as ever and have a darling "Little Lady". Thank you for having me!!

Elsa was baptized while they were in town. I was so honored when they asked me to take photos of her in this beautiful gown that has been passed down through generations since the early 1900's.

Party of Five

I just took photos of the little twins in this family a few weeks ago and now mom was ready for all five. What sweet kids...every one! Very good and well behaved, and I didn't get a hand in the face or a "no" once from those cute little twins...haha. I have known this family for a very long time but I haven't seen the older kids in a while, that was fun. Michelle I had such a blast with your darling little kiddos. I can't even imagine having 5...you go girl :) Thanks for having me!
