A Family of 10

Taking pictures of larger families is one of my favorite things to do...

Yesterday, I got to take Henry and Heather's annual photos, and it was a lot of fun.

Everyone was relaxed, James made us all smile, and we had fun. I had a hard time picking which ones to post - had to leave a few other favorites out...but I guess that's a good thing - to have too many good photos.

Even darling Emma - the little dog - made it into the family pictures

A delightful couple

Three Girls in Blue Dresses...

I had fun one afternoon taking some pictures of these sisters.

All so adorable and special.

Marissa, Kayla and Mya

Little Kayla - growing up so quickly.

One of my favorites of the little girl.

Mya - she just 'knew' how to pose just perfectly for me.

Just so cute.

Cute little nose

So poised and perfect.

Marissa - becoming a little lady.

Sweet smiles

This one is another of my favorites.

Swinging on their tree swing

Scrunched up bunch.

All done with the camera.

But still cute. :)

Hudson Judah

I got my opportunity to photograph a newborn, thanks to Ben and Deanna.

 Hudson was born on the 11th of August weighing 9 lbs. 4 oz.

and terribly cute.

They came over to our home so I could work on photography skills; so thankful that people don't mind me practicing on them. :)

My favorite shot of the afternoon.

Darling Hudson

Father and Son. Ben has a fun way with Hudson.

Gorgeous Mom

Ben actually took this one - love the fingers on his face.

 One of my other favorite shots.

Congratulations to such a wonderful family!

Just before naptime...

I shot these pictures of Erik right before his morning sleep. He was quite willing for most of the time.
