Trip to the Zoo

Friday, yeah back when it felt like a Spring day. ha ha We made a sudden trip to the zoo. OK the kids begged me until I caved. It was such a wonderful afternoon. We really needed it anyhow. So here's a bit of our fun in photo's.

We also ran into a few friends while we where there. yeah!

Oh come one who doesn't like Meerkats!? lol

All three of my children enjoying the wild life. Nevin is the front, Harrisen pointing, and Miranda shooting with her camera.

This image was shot by Miranda.

Also by Miranda.

My three in the petting zoo. Miranda attempted to capture the goats fighting, but none of the images came out. It's very hard to capture fast moving goats! ;-)

Because we stayed until closing time, the monkeys were just coming back out to play and be active. Gave me a chance to grab a few fun shots on our way out.

So there you have it a glimpse into our day at the zoo. We hadn't been in a very long time. We spent 6 hours there, and saw everything! Even the house and farm, and Amphibian house. WHEW we were really wore out! Still it's one of the nicest times I've had with my kids, just us doing something wonderful together just because, I've had a long while. :-)

Family session with the Smiths

This morning on this less than Spring like day. I met the Smith family for an outdoor session. Today was special for them, and I was really happy to be a part of the celebration. Keeping up with Riley was a whole other challenge to the fun. What a cutie! She is just full of smiles and energy, and I got home grateful for the few shots we managed when she wasn't running away from us. ;-) Her Daddy was amazing keeping up with her. Here's a couple captures from our morning.

Winter Blast

Today we headed out as a family to sled down the nearest big hill with in walking distance from our house. It was cold, icy and wonderful! We had so much fun sledding and screaming. :-) I even took my turn down the hill on the sled. In the distance was an old barn no longer in use, so I had to leave my family for a little while hike out and photograph the peaceful frozen winter quiet that had over taken it. Thought I would share my take on today's beauty left by our weather from yesterday.

Candy and Ryan Tie the Knot

On Saturday I spent the day with the most composed, happy bride.... Candy and her joyful family. Everyone had a wonderful time, and the wedding day went so smoothly. The reception was really fun, and everyone had a great time on the dance floor. Here's for a romantic honeymoon, and best wishes for their joyful, loving union. Enjoy their teaser preview....

Braden's two years old!

Today I got to visit my sweet nephew. It's been a while, first I was super busy, then when things slowed down I got a cold and had to wait till I was sure not bring any germs to his house. My sister is expecting his little brother this summer. It was so nice seeing her with that pregnancy glow and her tummy so round and cute! Really I enjoyed getting to take some photographs of Braden it's been so long since I gave him a session. I hope you enjoy these teasers, he's really changed and grown SO much!
