The Schneider Family

This is my dear friend Shannon's family. Shannon and I met at Red Lobster when I was in high school and I cherish that we have remained close throughout the years.

I've been taking her kid's school photos for quite a few years now and have felt so honored to see them growing so much over the years!

This year was especially exciting as I was able to meet the newest Schneider: baby Owen! He is a doll and don't even get me started on his cheeks!

Thank you Shannon and Travis for letting me be part of this!

Photos with the O'Dells!

So, I have to admit, the majority of my photos thus far are with my niece and nephews- but oh how I love it! These are Dana and Keri's babies. Well, there not so much babies any more- but I still like to think of them as so.

You can definitely see their personalities in these photos. Aidan will be 7 soon, and more than ever, I'm realizing he is quite the realist. He is so sweet natured, too. He's becoming so grown up. Elizabeth is almost 5 and her personality is bigger than ever. Although we're not blood-related, I know she is family. She cracks me up more than anything. And those big, beautiful eyes! We will definitely have to fend the boys away when she gets older. And then there's Grayson. Oh, Grayson. His latest obsession is Yo! Gabba Gabba! Half the shoot he was singing and dancing. He is definitely his own person.

Anyway, I love them and I hope you do too! Enjoy!

I'm definitely missing having a nice camera at my finger tips. But here are some shots from my nice little point-and-shoot.

Cookie time!

On Friday we had the kiddo's over for some cookie making and fun! We love seeing how much they're growing up. Brendyn is a little ball of energy, Aidan is definitely becoming an observer, and Elizabeth...well...she is her own person! The best part is hearing their opinions on where how we're "made". "First God draws you on a piece of paper, then builds your house, puts the paper in the house, and then you come off the paper and you're there..." So cute!

The kids built an awesome fort in the living room!

I don't even know about this one.
