50th Wedding Anniversary (continued)

Finishing up pictures from this 50th wedding ceremony from a few weeks ago. Super cute couple...50 years is quite an achievement and I hope others (and myself) can have the same celebration some day! :)
Congratulations!!

Below are some favorites of mine. :)

Aunjelique and Family

I loved my shoot this morning because the shoot itself was a surprise gift for Aunjelique's mother...a 50th birthday! (Although she honestly doesn't look it in the least bit!). Aunjelique picked out her mother's clothes for her, drove her all the way in from Fontana (a very far drive for those unfamiliar with the area), and didn't say a word til she showed up and saw her other kids and their families waiting for her at the park and me, camera in hand. Plus her kids all drove in as well, one drove 3+ hours to get there this morning! Wow....a very special gift for a mother. :)

Here's a little sneak peek for the family...you guys were all great to work with, and I still can't get over how adorable the little one is!!! :) :) Such a good baby!

A and J - November 2009

I had the pleasure of doing another photoshoot with this family...you may remember their previous one: http://averyjamesphotography.blogspot.com/2009/05/growing-family.html (see all their pictures here: http://averyjamesphotography.blogspot.com/search/label/A%20and%20J)

That shoot was only a few months ago, yet you can see how much time has passed by how big the littlest one has gotten already!!

The whole family was great to work with...this was the first time I shot with the grandparents and they were just as sweet as the parents. :)

Here's a little sneak peek for the family!

Patty and Family

Here are more of my favorites from this fabulous family's shoot! Again, love this location - it makes you feel like you're in Big Bear instead of L.A....although it was a bit sunny this day, but we worked with it and still got some great shots. :) :)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Amie and Family (continued)

Here are more pictures of these beautiful sisters and their adorable daughters. :) :) They were so great to work with, and I love how they all were able to get silly and take some fun pictures too. :) :)
Here's more of my favorites from this cloudy morning. :)

Kathleen and family

I have a fun shoot today with a big, happy family...of which the parents are probably going to have a nice, long sleep tonight after helping me chase around their kids for pictures! :) We had a set of twins and a gorgeous little redhead to capture images of. I have a very high appreciation for parents of twins...at any age. I've raised my son and at any moment he can be a handful on his own...multiply that by any number and I believe rest becomes a thing of the past. But you also get twice the love so I know it's all worthwhile. :)
Here's a little sneak peek for the family to see what we got today! :)

Quinn (continued)

This little guy was super fun to work with...maybe mostly because it was fun to watch him make his mom chase after him every time he sprinted towards the water...he's so cute you can't help but giggle. :) :) :)
