Family shoot at Barnes Place, Adel Iowa

Here they are. All of them. Yep, every single one. The Elg family. 2 parents…..5 siblings and their families and a ton of little grandchildren! Let’s see if I can do all their names….actually, let’s not see. I’m pretty sure I remember everyone except…..one person. So, to not single out that ONE person, I’m just not doing it. Nope. I love all of them too much {is that weird? Probably.}. What’s in a name, anyways {your identity..your very being..everything you stand for?!?! I’m a total jerk.}

I’ve spent the last 2 days with them. They are probably totally sick of used to me by now. First this GIANT family shoot and then the next day photographing the wedding of one of these lovely young ladies….but you will have to wait on that sneak peek…ooooooohhhh teaser alert!

Gabrielle {9 months}

Look at this itsy bitsy cutie patootie! This is my 4th time working with Gabrielle and I absolutely adore her. She stares at my camera so seriously and gives me pretty much the same look in all her photos–good thing it’s a good look! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Work it, girl!

Disclaimer: I do not have access to that AMAZING blueish greenish backdrop all the time. These photos were taken at Gabrielle’s home. However, I might paint my ENTIRE house this color because I love it. So stay tuned. I also don’t use the word ain’t in normal context. How else do you say that phrase?! It would be wrong to say it correctly.

Ray + Jack + one mommy = TWINS

The twins are here! The twins are HERE! RIGHT HERE! I have been waiting for this moment ever since her mom texted me and said she was having twins. I’m glad that pregnancy is over. It was rough on me! ;)
