Burns Family

I was so excited when Janet booked a session.  They haven't had family pictures in a very long time.  I knew that these pictures would be full of life!

This one sums it up... playful kids and mom... dad not wanting to smile... 

 luckily I got him to warm up after a bit.

Whew... my last shoot before Christmas.  Luckily I had a few families reschedule for January... Christmas is a busy busy season!  Next year I will be READY!  This next picture shows kinda how I've been feeling the past few days...  Doesn't this just scream "A Christmas Story" movie?   Claire you know I love ya...:)  She was feeling DONE with the photo shoot at this point.

The Return of Hermana Gonsalez!

After her 18 month Spanish speaking mission to New York City, Erica has returned to her home, family and friends!  I get a little teary eyed just looking at these pictures... All the hugging and laughing and crying.  It was great.  Cute little brother Ethan (well, according to Erica he isn't quite so little anymore)  was thrilled to have his 'ya-ya' back.     Enjoy (and get your kleenex!)  

Who looks happier?  Mom or Dad?  I say it's a tie :)

She got to speak with her Grandfather in Spanish.   Her mom was listening in... amazed.

 

I love how Ethan is looking at Erica...
