You might remember Gabrielle and Richard from their wedding last year.  Rather than do their engagements ahead of the wedding day, they opted to do family pictures with their son after the wedding.  I think it's a great way for them to get some portraits taken together, without being at the wedding.  

They are super cute.  J. is adorable and giggles like crazy!

He is such a handsome boy, girls are gonna go nutty for him!

Thank you soo much for letting me be a part in thier first family pictures.  It was a blast!!!

This was such a fun shoot.  I loved photographing this family, all four of them were very photogenic.  They kids were absolutley adorable and so good at "Simon Says."

Such obedient children. Anything I asked during Simon Says - they did it!  

LOVE THIS!  

and this...

Then they kids got lolipops for a reward and the sugar kicked in.

Don't ask.

Last week I got the pleasure to go and document Anthony's graduation.  It was a blast to see him play around with his family.  They all really loved to goof off with each other and it was really fun to be a part of that. Plus everyone of them is so proud of Anthony.  He is super sweet and has a great heart, plus he's pretty funny.  

We started off at his house before the graduation, where he showed me how he can beat his sister Stephanie at Mario Cart.

He introduced me to his buddy Yager.

Yager loves him back!  

 Goofing off with the family.

We took some good portraits too.

I love his smile! It's infectious!

The ceremony was at the Wells Fargo stadium. I only had my 200 lens, so the quality isn't the best, but I just love the thumbs up right after graduation.  

After we found him outside and found out the fireworks were cancelled  I took just a few more of everyone celebrating.  

Everyone was so proud of him, especially his mom.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your family for a day.  I am so proud of you and I loved goofing off right along with your family. You made me feel so welcome Anthony - thank you!  

I had the great pleasure of photographing families and their mothers at our chuch on Mothers day.  Mom's will be able to pick up 5x7 prints next week.  Here's just a few of them - so cute!
