The Temple Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

This beautiful family brought their beautiful dog along this year for pictures....love that they did. :)

I photographed them all last year and their girls have changed SO MUCH in the last year...one the best parts of my job is watching the kiddos I photograph grow and change each year.

There were lots of kisses and love going around and I was thrilled to capture it all in pictures...

Beautiful Big Sister...

The gorgeous baby of the family...

I love this image so much...I love photographing laid back families like the Temple Family...families that want pictures that capture what their real life looks like at that point in time.

This is real life and it's beautiful...

Thank you guys for standing in front of my lens again this year!  I loved photographing you again and can't wait for you to see all of the images! :)

The Gerdts Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

Love photographing this awesome family!

This session was extra special because they recently added a new member to their family...that handsome dude in the front...

I'd say he's pretty happy to be in the family....

These are an awesome group of siblings...all willing to be in front of my camera and all so much fun!

Best Friends...Hugo and Tyler....

I'm pretty sure ALL of the kids are smitten by Hugo though!

I adore this shot of these happy kids!!!

Thank you, Gerdts Family for spending your evening with me!  You have such an awesome family and I always enjoy my time with you guys!  Hugo fits perfectly into your crew and I was thrilled to get to meet and photograph him!!!

Leone Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

I always look forward to having this awesome family in front of my lens each year!

They are so photogenic and so fun to hang out with...just all around good people...

The kids are always willing models...

Love this shot of Alayna and Jonathon with their big brother, Kaleb!

You don't get much more picture perfect than this!

Ahhhhhh!  I die...LOVE pictures of couples who are so obviously in love!

Maybe my favorite mother/child picture to date...Emily is one gorgeous mom!

Alayna and Jonathon always do a good job "working it" for my camera...

Love all around!

Yet again, I had so much fun spending some time with you on this gorgeous evening!  Thank you for putting your trust in me to capture your family in pictures each year!  Just when I think you all can't get more gorgeous, you go and book another session with me and wow me year and year again!

The Eyberg Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

I was excited to photograph this beautiful family who happen to be new to the area and new to Iowa!

Their girls are to die for!

Daddy and Mommy Love shots...

What fun it was getting to know about them.  They are going to be people I see regularly as Ryan is now working with my dad!

And this shot just might be the greatest sibling shot I've ever taken!  Hysterical!!!

Let's get real though...they are parents of 2 children 3 and under who are only 15 months apart...so THIS is reality...

Loved meeting you, Caitlin and meeting you again, Ryan!  Looking forward to seeing you often in the future and hopefully having you in front of my lens again!  You have a gorgeous family!

A Beautiful Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

When we scheduled this session, the plan was "fall pictures"...well, the weather wasn't exactly fall like!  More like HOT summer weather.  This adorable crew handled it like pros though...

Love these Mommy and Daddy Love shots!!!

These boys have a very smart Mommy...she came with all kinds of tricks up her sleeve!  The favorite for sweet James was the watermelon...

You have got to be kidding me with this cuteness!!!  Alexander was full of smiles!

Those toes, that hat!  EEK!

Big brother was a fan of snuggles from mom and dad and I have to say, I wasn't going to argue...snuggly pictures are the best...

Stop it with those baby blues!

A gorgeous family for sure...

Thank you guys for spending some of your morning with me...my camera loved you!
