My last shoot of the season is always this family. They mean the world to me and I truly feel lucky to have them in my life. These AMAZING children are my niece and nephew. I love them as much as my own children and the best part is I think they are the coolest kids ever. Yes, I’m biased, but I really think they’re amazing.

Graham is the nicest boy. My boys worship the ground he walks on. He is so nice he lets them tag along and make them feel included. Class act, this kid.

My oldest boy (on the left) always asks (more like begs) if he can come with me to my sessions. He promises to make funny faces to make the children laugh. I know he would be so well behaved and do a wonderful job as an assistant, but not quite yet. Due to this being family, I let him come. He did exactly what he said he would, except, he kept asking for me to take HIS picture with them. Of course it was so warm that day, that he shed his cute shirt for his white t-shirt. Alas, this picture is proudly hung in his room. Note how my son’s hand is posed EXACTLY the way Graham’s is. I didn’t say a word, he had to be just like him. Ha!


This is my favorite girl, next to my own sweet girl. She’s polite, nice and stunning. She was thrilled when we announced that we had a girl. Mary Neely is the only girl grandchild among six boys. She was ready. My own little girl immediately goes to her and spends most of her time in her arms. I am relying on Mary Neely to teach her everything she knows. That way, I know she’ll be one great girl, just like her older cousin.



I could go on and on about these two. I am just lucky I have them in my life and that each year, they ask me to take their holiday card picture. Even better is when I get the finished product in the mail.

As always, I love you both.
