Mango Street Photography

Welcome back from the holidays! I hope you all had a wonderful time with family. I have a couple of posts left from the end of ‘09 to catch you up on before moving on to some new and exciting things! You may remember me mentioning designer Stephanie Taylor and her wonderful Etsy shop in the recent blog give-away. I was thrilled to meet up with her and her sweet family on a cold December weekend evening for some Christmas card photos. Despite the freezing weather, we had a great session! It is always such a joy to watch a family’s loving interaction with each other. Enjoy a glimpse~

Thanks again!

November has always been one of my favorite months, but this year it has absolutely won me over by bringing with it such gorgeous weather. After the flooding and constant rain of October, this girl was glad to see sunshine and blue sky! It was on a perfect November day that I met up with the McAllisters last weekend, and I’m so glad I did. Enjoy a glimpse into their session:

Thanks again for a great afternoon!

It is always such a privilege for me when I am asked to step into someone’s home and document their family together, and it is one of the things I love most about my job. Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the Lane family. Their adult children, who are spread out on opposite sides of the country now, were both in town visiting family, making it the perfect time for a family photo session. Despite the overcast morning, we had a great session that was filled with laughter. The Lanes are definitely a family that enjoys being around each other and having a good time! Before we get to the family photos, though, we had to take some shots of their son and new wife, recently back from their honeymoon! Enjoy a glimpse~

Thanks again for a wonderful session!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing 3 generations of women who are not only beautiful on the outside, but are beautiful inside as well. Their love for one another was so apparent and natural–I loved it! As a fun side note, when I asked Eve where she got one of the twin’s dress, her reply? She made it. I have so much respect for moms as it is, but to do such a great job with twins AND find time to sew super cute dresses for them each season? I am inspired! Without further ado, enjoy a glimpse into our Saturday morning of a tea party on a family quilt, exploring a field, and picking yellow wildflowers:

I had a wonderful time with you all–thanks for inviting me into your time together!
