The Hilgenfelds are one of my newer clients, but I have to say I’m so happy they found me.  They are a fun group with lots of energy and 3 BOYS, just like me!  We fit perfectly together!  Here are a few of my favorites from last week’s session…

Photographing them was no LITTLE thing.  We had BIG fun, especially when we found that HUGE pile of leaves to play in!  :)

Once again, another family was gracious enough to shoot their session at my house…all the way from North Edmond.  I’m so lucky to have such great clients!

I love this family and how much fun we always have shooting photos.  They are so relaxed and up for anything.  They should be my poster family, right?  It may just happen!

As always, here are a few of my favorites!

Luckily, this family is one of those gangs that ALWAYS looks good, no matter what.  Their charm and charisma shine through, even on the craziest of days.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session last weekend.

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of sessions here at the Gurney house.  The leaves are truly amazing – I think they are prettier this year than ever before.  AND, shooting here helps me out by keeping me closer to the newest little Gurney boy.

Of course, we can’t forget about sweet, little Halle girl!  She is spectacular all on her own!!  I love her!

Here she is in all of her awesomeness at only 9 months old!

My camera was only an obstacle in her path!

Still, somehow, we all survived!  :)

Here are a few of my favorites…

It’s true.  The session was a breeze.  I could hang out with these three girls ANYTIME.

It was so much fun watching them play and enjoy each other.  I hope I get to snap some more pics of them next year and all the years to come!

Here are my favorites!

This last one cracks me up!  I bet mom will be itching for a week!  :)

The Russell family is such a fun bunch!  They wanted a location with lots of color and character.  I think they chose well.  Just take a look at all the color in their photographs!

Here are just a few of my favorites…

HUGE session to proof.  BUT, first I need a sneak peek.  THIS is all I have so far!

I’m not sure, but I’m thinking this is the session that put me in the hospital all day today with contractions!  Sheesh!

Maybe I should shoot another session for them tomorrow?  :)

]]> http://www.shannongurneyphoto.com/blog/h-u-g-e/feed/ 0 Hale Family http://www.shannongurneyphoto.com/blog/hale-family-2/ http://www.shannongurneyphoto.com/blog/hale-family-2/#comments Tue, 13 Sep 2011 22:24:12 +0000 Shannon http://www.shannongurneyphoto.com/blog/?p=5773 This was definitely a fun session, me pregnant or not!  I was a little worried since they wanted to head downtown where there is LOTS of walking involved.  BUT, somehow I survived.  It wasn’t too bad, but I was SUPER tired when I got home!  :)

The neat thing about this bunch is that after I photographed them a couple of years back, the twins (two youngest) and Ty were placed in the same class at school.  They’ve been buddies ever since!  I’ve gotten to know this family so well through school and birthday parties.  I LOVE them!!  Ty thinks it’s so cool when he sees me proofing his friends’ pictures.  He keeps asking me how I got them to laugh or smile so big!  HA!  If he only knew my pregnant acrobatic skills!

At any rate, they’ve been waiting long enough!  Here are just a handful of my favorites…
