TOP 10: Christmas Pictures

From Thanksgiving until now, I have taken roughly 10 sets of family portraits for family and friends. I have hesitantly avoided prematurely posting anyone's Christmas pictures, but now that Christmas has come and gone, I would like to share some of my favorite shots.

I think the secret of being a good photographer is having beautiful families to take pictures of. That way all your pictures turn out beautiful regardless of the level photographer you are!!!

Doggie Kisses

Our Boxer, Tenaya LOVES her littlest baby brother. I was trying to take some pictures of Brady but Tenaya wanted to be a part of the action. I accidentally got a picture of Tenaya giving Brady a nice big slobbery doggie kiss.

Mr. & Mrs. Burton Cheatham

My cousin Burt said his "I DO's" to Markie this past weekend at Blackhorse and Bayonet Golf Course in Monterey. It was a delightfully beautiful wedding. I am super happy for the newly wed couple. I was able to snap a few photos at the event. The lighting was a little less than desirable due to an unexpected event that delayed the start of the ceremony. We did the best we could with the little light that was available. I got a couple decent shots, whereas Stacey and Dean gathered quite a few. It helps when the bride is rather photogenic. :)

Sweet Dreams

This weeks challenge on the I heart faces blog is "Sweet Dreams." As I was looking through my recent pictures, I came across this one and it made me smile.

This is how I found Carson asleep at nap time.

I hope it brightens your day as much as it does mine.

Tooshies Gone Wild

I have a feeling Suzanne is going to kill me for posting this, but that is what friends are for. Just an innocent little photo shoot with one crazy pose that is the perfect picture for this weeks entry on the I Heart Faces website. This week's challenge... Tooshies!!

I do have to mention that this weeks judge is Patti Schmidt. I think I should at least make honorable mention for having her same name!! (hint hint)
