Nutty Family!

This would be my mom-in-law and auntie Terisa...

these two are CRAZY when they get together. Terisa now

lives in TN and was up for a winter wonderland Christmas 

visit. :)  We thought it would be fun to get some sis pics.

Those of you who know Al, will now be able to get an idea 

as to where he gets his crazypants (genes) from.

See what I mean?! Karie on the left and Terisa on the right.

Usually a rose, but for the northerner it's a pine bough.

It's a good thing Terisa went home, we were 

starting to get used to all that good southern

food she likes to cook for us! 

Fun with Signe

These are just a few shots that I took of

Sig not too long ago.  I love some of them

so much that I actually printed them for 

our walls! 

Her lamb sitting in the window, warming up

after a bath.

This last one was on her birthday! I think being 3 is a good

fit for her! 

Deanna

Deanna has been my super awesome friend for 9 years now!

She's moved all the way to Boise ID to deliver babies into this

world, but comes for a visit once or twice a year. We thought it 

would be fun to bring the camera along on a Duluth visit and it

just happened to start snowing these big fluffy flakes!

She's got this bad attitude sometimes... seriously, you don't

want to mess with D!

Next shoot will be in ID!

Krista

Krista and I go way back... like to preschool. :)

I remember talking about how many kids 

we would have, well the classic game MASH 

was what determined that... 

I can't even tell you how fun it was to see

her at 9 months prego! She is doing

fabulous - her and Aaron are going to be 

awesome parents! 

And being pregnant hasn't changed her 

one bit! Still pretty nutty!

Can't wait to meet the little peanut soon!

Crazy Swanson Crew

So coming over to our house to have pictures taken is

always an adventure for our friends/family who usually

just come over to play - but we were fast action heros

with these guys, and then we got some of the play action

afterwards too!

Maddelyn and Audrey, hum can't tell they are sister...

The Swanson Girls!

Add in dad and things start to get a little nutty!

This is a great picture, individually I think it captures 

their personalities quite well!

There are some really silly pics that we might have to post

later on... get permission first. :)

Thanks Swanys!

Andrew

I think I convinced Andrew that getting

your picture taken wasn't pure torture...

close, but not that bad!

He loves to hunt.

He said he ALWAYS wears a hat...

But figured his mom might make him get

more pictures taken if they all had a hat.

Thanks Andrew! 

Sam

Here is my nephew Sam - sheesh there are

some really adorable kiddos in my family...

Sporting a gramma made hat. I still wear

mine all the time!

Not so sure if he's liking this photo taking

business...

I think he warmed up to the camera, look at that smile! 

Then you take off his clothes and he's really happy!

Sam and Bre are only 2 weeks apart - will

be fun having cousins so close in age!

Bre

May I introduce my beautiful little niece

Bre Udeen! Is she seriously not just a 

DOLL, that dark hair is fantastic! 

Cute cute cute cute cute!

This one is for her daddy, he likes to 

chill in sweatpants too.

Reaching for her toes!

With her super duper mommy, Emily.

This one just cracks me up! It's as though she is ruling

from her little throne...

I can't wait for more Bre photo shots. :)

Maxon Family

So you might remember the little guy - Jacob

from a shoot this fall... well here's the rest of 

his fam! Everyone was together for Thanksgiving,

so we got the whole crew.

Wendy and David - the married couple...

Cassie, Jacob and Kim, three siblings...

Travis and Cassie, the engaged couple...

The whole family! I'm pretty sure Jacob is the center

of attention at family gatherings these days!!

These ladies make me want to have long, straight hair...

Thanks!
