Sudar Family Pictures


Even though we had equipment problems, this family were such great sports and we got some awesome shots of them. Never fear - glitchy camera problems have been solved! There were a lot of pictures of this family that I really liked and wanted to post here.

We thought the contrast of the fancy-dress outfits and the beat-down backgrounds would be interesting. I really like it! What do you think?




There were so many great backgrounds and photo-places in this little area, I can't wait to go back!

Jurgens family pictures

My latest family shoot was a blast - we had a lucky break in the weather and we went to this fantastic abandoned house where I have been dying to shoot. Brick walls, old sheds and even a few friendly horses made for some great backgrounds.

This family is adorable and I love them (they are friends of mine and live one street over). Their kids are so beautiful and photogenic. The boys were really interested in the horses but only from a distance.

Their baby boy is a red-headed sweet heart. And since he moved much slower than his brother, he was easier to get pictures of! ;)

The picture on the left is one of my all-time favorites - it captures their personality just right. Thanks you guys, I had a great time with you!

Jue family pictures

I loved this family, they were lots of fun. The kids had already had a really long day but they were so patient and just did whatever I asked them to. In the midst of all the rain, rain and more rain, we miraculously got a few clear hours and were able to get some great pictures.

Rob & Andrea engagements

This shoot was so much fun! We tried out this awesome abandoned house location that I discovered a few months ago. It looks scary on the outside but it makes a great background. I am really happy with it.

And lets not forget Rob and Andrea. These are their engagement pictures and they are a really fun couple. They were totally willing to try any crazy ideas. The only hard part was that Rob is probably more than a foot taller than Andrea... always a challenge.


By strange coincidence, Rob is the brother of Nick in the post right after this one. What a year of weddings for this family!

Beautiful, beautiful girl. Don't you love the random gust of wind? I wonder how I can work this out every time I do pictures...

Nick & Megan engagements

This was such a fun couple to work with. And they weren't nearly as cold as I was! The recent rain has melted a lot of the snow and we had a break in the weather that let us get some good pictures.


I'm starting to realize that I love feet pictures. I have one in almost every shoot.

They were so natural and fun... and of course, in love.




And just in case we forgot that it was a rainy day...

Bowler Wedding

I'll be the first to admit that this wedding was a huge challenge for me. Indoor pictures are a maze of competing light sources, tight spaces and uncooperative backgrounds. Add about 100 family members to be included in the group pictures... and you've got yourself a real project.

However, with this beautiful couple, how could you go wrong?

Baird Family

The hectic holidays turn me into a slacker - I forget to get these posted in a timely manner! However, here is an adorable family that I got to take pictures of in the fall.

This little sweetie was an adorable model. She did everything we asked with a big smile. Look at those curls!
