Love this family, they are always ready to have a laugh.
The Westin’s ballroom was gorgeous.First dance.The night was full of great speeches.There were a lot of children at this wedding and they were not afraid to take over the dance floor.Notice what is going on in the background….. 🙂 gotta love the kiddos.
Peg’s cousin Mary Kate sang the father daughter song.Peg’s mom could get down!
The “pants dance”. A family tradition of the guys in the family. The guys all get out, hike up their pants and prance around the dance floor.
You had to be there…..Thank you guys so much for an amazing day. I’m so excited for you! Its been such a pleasure.
Oh and congrats on passing the bar exam! (they found out their results the day of the wedding, they both passed!)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone out there! I hope you are enjoying the season.
We have a new member in the Moody family this year, my nephew Maxwell! Its his first Christmas. I think he is pretty adorable.
Our first “real” moody baby, moody santa baby.
My mom is finally and Grandma, or Grandy I should say. She couldn’t be happier.Geoff, Gina, Maxwell and Skip. Make a pretty cute family.I’m a pretty proud Auntie.Just a few more of Maxwell in his holiday outfit. 🙂 Love this kid.Maxwell is going to be tall like daddy. He was only three months old here and in the 95th percentile for height. This kid is all arms and legs.Merry Christmas from the Moody’s! And Santa Moodybaby!
I put together a little Christmas slideshow, because well why not? 🙂

The most laughing I’ve done on a shoot in a long time, these guys had me in stitches!! Liz contacted me to do a shoot with her and her siblings as a present of their parents wedding anniversary. It was a nice change from the norm to do a shoot like this and these guys are so close it was so much fun.
We started off with some “formals’ at the house.These guys don’t like each other at all…….One of the on going jokes between them is if one of them isn’t’ there what kind of fun are the other two having with out them?
Jimmy seems left out in this scenario…
Awe, now Liz is left out!Meet Bree.Liz
And JimmyA good looking bunch.
It was so HARD getting these guys to smile, geeze. 🙂The last photo they had taken of the three of them professinoally was when they were in high school. The time when it was “cool” to all wear the same thing, in this case white shirts and jeans. You know who you are out there and you know you have a similar picture to this that is hanging on your parents wall! Don’t deny it!
We thought it would be fun to relive the old days. 🙂 And have a good gag picture for the parents.
We even took it a step further, because well why not?
I just have to say you guys are awesome. 🙂
I hope your parents LOVE this.Hey there is a slideshow, look at that!

I look forward to my shoot with this family every year. I’ve been photographing them since Meena was six months old. Its so fun to see them grow.

Mr. Max has grown sooo much since last year!!Meena is as adorable as ever. I loved her pink coat.My favorite family photo.Meena, shy of the camera? NO WAY!We had the greatest time playing near city hall.Meena isn’t too into sweets, but Max had no objections to getting both lollipops! haha!
We had a new addition to the family shoot this year, Meena and Max’s cousin joined us for the fun times. 🙂Be sure to watch the slideshow for more images!

Its always a big compliment when another photographer asks you to photograph their family. Sarah is an awesome photographer and I was excited and admitadly nervous when she asked me to photograph her family. Like all photographers she rarely gets photographs with the whole family, so its just as important for photographers to get shoots as it is for them to photograph other people. Does that make sense? Anyway, enough of the chit chat, I love this session!!
It was a gorgeous fall afternoon!June is such a cutie pie!!
A favoriteThey have been eagerly awaiting getting photographs with their matching shoes.Love it!
Check out the slideshow!
It was a pleasure doing this shoot for you guys!
