Tammy, Kolby, & Kaelan

I was warned before this session that the boys could be “tricky” but since I have a 5 year old girl & a 3 year old boy, I thought I was prepared. Now, I’m not one to admit defeat easily, but, I will say – they were a tough crowd. Kaelan truly gave me a run for my money AND he was cute the entire time! I will say the major difference between these two and my two is that I never once (not ONCE) saw Kolby punch, kick or hit Kaelan. Major props for that Kolby! So, enjoy these….

First, Tammy with her boys.

And her boys.

Kaelan – seriously, those eyes, I’ve give him anything he asked for.

Kolby – very sweet boy.

And funny!

Great moment.

Everyone needs time to stretch their legs.

Boys & sticks, like cookies & milk.

I love sunset.

Favorite, favorite, favorite. Love it. 100 & 10 %.

Tammy – thank you! I hope you enjoy these photos and look forward to showing you the rest! Best, Beckie

Krista, Mike, Tyler, Emily, & Abby

I think this is my 4th time photographing this family. We first met when Mike was deployed to Iraq in July of 09. I shot his return and baby Abby’s 1 year portraits earlier this year. They’re a great family. Watching Mike as a solider and a father is awesome – such a range behavior / experience / etc.

Tyler – played 2 or 3 games before our session, scored like 5 goals if I remember correctly and he was totally NOT crabby. Awesome kid.

Emily, seriously, how cute is she? The hair, the leaf, the feet…. great look girl. And the sweater, great touch of color. She is just too cute.

Abby – for some reason when she talks she sits still…. so during this time we kept rattling off names of people she liked to get her to say their name and let me get a photo! Whatever works!

Krista & Mike, your kids are awesome, will you raise mine? Please? Ok, seriously, thank you for at least letting me witness your parenting – I take notes every time. Best, Beckie

Tammy, Doug, Austin, Luke, Sam & Abbey!

I shot some of the cutest and most well-behaved kids in October and this family is a prime example. Seriously, at one time, I wanted 4 kids, I have 2 and often feel overwhelmed. How Tammy & Doug manage 4 is beyond me. And the kids are SO nice! I think it helps that the youngest is the only girl, but I could be wrong….

At the beginning of the session I was getting “the look” from Sam (far right) but by the end of the session he was suggesting photo locations. I *love* when they convert to my side.

Tammy & Doug – thank you so much for sharing your family & your time with me! I can’t wait to continue to watch your family over the years! Best, Beckie
