I had to go meet my newest nephew, born December 9 last year, in Tampa Florida.  He’s just as beautiful as my other gorgeous nephews. Meet sweet Charlie Joe!

And now meet my beautiful sister-in-law, Jacklin–

And my super handsome brother, Brandon

And the most gorgeous kid, my oldest nephew Jackson with the perfect hair–

And Eli–who has the coolest funniest personality ever–

These boys love each other.

I’m so behind on blogging, that I’m pretty sure none of these photos have been on this website before–but I loved every single one of them.  Many are families that I have had the pleasure of working with several times, and there is nothing that makes my heart sing more than watching them grow.  I love their family dynamics and the true love that I get to witness when we make time to play for the photos–these are always my favorite.  I love that perfectly posed, everyone smiling shot, but when you catch a glimpse of love and emotion, and true laughter from the children–that’s where the magic is. Here are my favorite family photos of 2011.

1.  This precious family just added a baby girl — and I am fortunate enough to get to photograph her tomorrow.

And even more photos from the mini sessions!  I loved all of the families this year!

More Mini Session sweetness!

More mini session sweetness!  I love seeing all these faces!  Mini sessions are the perfect time to have family photos made!  My next mini session marathon will be in April!
