Favorite 2010 Christmas Moments

 

My favorite Christmas moments: Tanner putting the Christmas cupcakes in the frig when I asked him too, exhaustion after dinner, passed out after dinner, big family sing-a-long, and the group photo that no one wants to do but they humor me because I am annoying until it is done!  Most of all though, a Christmas Eve discussion about Christ and what He did, (no photo!) is my favorite. 

Merry Christmas

Behold, I bring to you tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.....

Merry Christmas

Christmas for Jeremiah & Jordyn

 I am excited about Christmas this year, but then I always am.  Christmas  photos are always fun to take and I have done several recently that I  love.  The ones that I took last week of Jeremiah and Jordyn are probably my favorites.  Dad brought them over dressed and picture perfect.  These photos are to be a Christmas surpise for Mom.  Dad became a little tense as Jordyn, being very excited about her new crawling skills, would not stay put.  Her brother thought Christmas pictures were fun for the first couple of shots and then lost interest in our covert photo shoot and opted for singing the Spiderman song.  Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer just did not do it for him!  My wood floors got a great polish job with me sliding around on my tummy trying for the perfect shot, so that is good and is one thing off my list!  If it does not feel like Christmas to you, just take a look at these kiddos and you will!  Merry Christmas to the Alvarado's and thank you for letting me photograph your beautiful kids.  This will be a favorite Christmas memory to me for many years!  Spiderman, Spiderman, da, da, da,  da,da,  da,da........

True Love

 

Being asked to be the photographer for a wedding is always an honor.  When the bride is the daughter of two of your sweetest life long friends it is an exceptional honor! 

Charity and Derrick here is a sneak preview of some of my favorites that we took on Saturday night.  I will have the rest for you very soon.  To Marlon and Tina, sorting through these photos and seeing your sweet faces as you watch your little girl become a wife made me misty more than once.  I love you guys!

     

See what I mean!!!! Sniff....

Also, for the first time ever I had a helper while shooting this wedding and she rocked!  Jesse I have decided that I really like the team approach.  Thank you for your help and your photos are some of my favorites!  I really like the ones you took of Jeff, Stephen, and Mike and the chocolate fountain!  Oh dear…..

Just wrong on so many levels.....

And who are these characters anyway?!?
