I love the Vikings! And it's SOOO fun to cheer for them!

It truly is my pleasure to capture the Junior Viking Cheerleaders for the second year in a row! I love being a part of the game and supporting the team I love! Here's some priceless shots I got from the day!

Starting our day at 8:30am downtown. It was an early morning! Hair and make-up were required!
Coming down the the ground floor...girls and lovely parents!
Time to practice! The JVC ANGELS (3-5year olds) take the floor first!

After practice we went outside to the plaza and joined the fun!
Spending the whole day with just Adriah and Matt is special!
She loves to dance!

Drumline!

Back inside! It's almost halftime...and the girls are so excited to cheer for their fav team!

Go VIKES!

TOUCHDOWN!

i love watching her shine!

My baby is growing up too fast...freeze time!

Clara is my youngest and she's 20 months. I love everything about this chunky stage...her toddle, new words every day, slapping the table when she doesn't get her way, laughing at her brothers jokes, dancing with her sister, cuddling - ohh the sweet cuddles AND of course her smile. I have posted tons of other people kids on my site lately - tis the season. I'm taking a little break to show the end of the summer pics of Clara. Isn't she beautiful? Yup she is!

Family Photography done well is such a blessing. It is tons of work getting together schedules, outfits, hair, make-up, not to mention trying to arrive with happy kids who stay happy for 25 minutes. It always works out. thankfully I've been doing this for a few years and I always have a trick or two up my sleeve. I felt like I totally knew this family 2 girls and a boy...ages 6,3,1 sounds familiar right?

Every photographer loves repeat customers...it means your clients liked you enough to come back! I'm honored to be capturing this family again. Want to check out their sweet twins a few years back? Cute right? I know. They've added to their family and they are cuter then ever.

Those of us who are parents of toddlers totally understand that any given day is amazing and crazy and terrible and amazing every moment of any day. We pray that it's an "amazing" time when you have 25 minutes to capture your family. And when kids are kids it's up to me to still capture this precious family at this precious stage of their life together. What is not so cute in the moment my end up being our favorites in the years to come. I don't know if this will help, but I walk away from EVERY photo-shoot of me and my family hoping that the photographer got at least one of us...but knowing that would be a miracle considering the shoot we just had! It always works out.

I hope you are happy with the end result!

The Pop Up Shop with Wildruffle!

I'm so happy to be a part of this event...

It's going to be amazing! Have you heard about it yet? The idea behind a Pop Up Shop is exactly what you're thinking...a collection of businesses who may or may not have a shop of their own come together bringing their best for you (and me) to shop! Yes, I'll be a vendor too! But, I'm mostly excited to do tons of my Christmas shopping with local businesses with very little effort on my part...they are all going to be in one place. I love that!

My friend Cate from Wildruffle.com is pouring her heart into this event and I know it's going to be amazing. I personally want to invite you. I hope you can come!

Here's the details so PLEASE click over to your calendar and mark the date!
