Beautiful Princess

I am here to post the sneaker peeker of Sweet Little, NO I am NOT tired, Baby M.
This is my wonderful friends beautiful niece.
She wanted NOTHING to do with sleeping, so we snuck a few in while she was awake.
So for you Mama, your beautiful AWAKE baby girl.
We made her mad...
We made her tired, but not tired enough to sleep, just tired enough to rest her eyes for 2 seconds...
We crowned her a princess..
Which I think happens to be my Kapture that I Heart for the day...
Her sweet little fingers, toes & nose for Mama, because she really wanted it!
Come back soon to meet her beautiful brothers, sisters & cousins!!!

Swap...

Well, as you all know I have a wonderful sister who also happens to be an amazing photographer, not to mention a great teacher, because I have learned so very very much from her.
Lesley has had a camera wrapped around her neck for as long as I can remember, she started Lesley Barr Photography a couple of years ago, now she's always booked & I have to beg a plead with her to sneak my little family in for a photo shoot :)
Lucky for me I had something she wanted, since her family has NEVER had their family pictures taken a trade was needed. So needless to say this swap was LONG overdue for her family!!!
We decided to take each others pictures, but due to time constraints we both edited our own favorites.
So, swap we did, she took all of these amazing photos of me & my little family at Calico Basin...

~Warning get ready for picture OVERLOAD~

Oh my word I love when they show their love like this!!!






Photos taken by Lesley Barr Photography & edited by myself!!!

So, in turn I took these family photos of her, her hubby & their INSANELY adorable twin 3 year olds. The little twinzers weren't really in the mood to have their pictures taken, but we ended up convincing them to pose for just a few.
It was a lot of fun to capture something different than I have ever done before, her photos are urban, bright & funky & I had some fun editing these!!
Side Note, we were in the GHETTO & it was a little frightening, totally worth it for these great shots, but if I ever have a shoot there again I WILL BE PACKING :) Or maybe I will just bring along a body guard.
The gorgeous family....
The beginning, once upon a time it was just the two of them,then came the crazies....
Love this, especially her looking back at me....

The handsome boys.....
The beauties...
My sweet little gorgeous niece...
The adorable little handsome nephew...

Now go here so you can see her work & the pictures she took & edited.

The Whole Gang.....

The day we did my wonderful friends photo shoot we also did a shoot with her hubbies ENTIRE family, there were 19 of them, with 1 that couldn't make it.
So, as you know large groups make me very very nervous! However, after everyone arrived I quickly relaxed, because you see, I think they might be crazier than my family, & we are a little nuts.
We laughed & goofed off & tackled, OK they tackled I took pictures, before I knew it the nerves were gone & the photo shoot ended up being a blast!!
So, thank you Mama Y for letting me photography your beautiful family!!
There are 7 kids in total, 5 boys & 2 girls, then we have some married & some with families :)
So, meet the "silly" Y family......
The grand kids being silly & one with grandma....

The Newlyweds.....

The brothers goofing off, of course...
The sisters posing pretty for me...
Quite possibly my favorite shot of the whole gang hanging out on the bridge...
My favorite family shots of the 2nd brother.... I love the dad bear hug, & the baby upside down with all the boys kissin mama...
Thank you again for a wonderful photo shoot, your gallery will be done very very soon!!!

My Bestie.....

So, one of my Bestie friends asked me to do her family pictures & I was too excited!!
She has a BEAUTIFUL family, & I just adore her munchkins!!

When we met Brad & I had just got married, we had no kids, her hubby & my hubby go way back to causing trouble together in High School, so when they decided to move out to Pahrump we were thrilled!!
Her munchkins were 5,3 & 1, and I wanted them!! She wouldn't give them up so we had to have some of our own. We tried to play catch up & had our 1st two, I don't know that I would have survived Motherhood & this town without her :)
She was my babysitter, the girl I called mid panic attack when we were surprised with our 3rd, the saint that would take my kids when I would get put on bed rest & sprain my ankle!! We loved having our wonderful friends right around the corner.
Now we are not so lucky to have them so close, but she is still the greatest friend ever, since then she has added on her 4th & he is a honey, you might remember his newborn pictures here, unfortunately she won't give me him either!!
Enough mush, her is My Bestie & her Beautiful Family...
