Our Family Beach Photos

I made Ronnie promise me one little session to try to get some family pictures at the beach. Well using the timer and tripod makes things a little more difficult. We did manage to get a couple all together. These were taken at Coronado Beach right before sunset. I love, love, love silhouettes so I took advantage and got several!

Now Gatlin could and would honestly move to the beach (as long as he could bring his horse, Turbo). He LOVED it! Carsyn is not so sure. She was not loving the beach at this point and would not let us put her down. So while I was sure hoping for more of my baby girl, it was not to be.

I still really love some of these. This hour devoted to letting mommy get some pictures was probably one of my favorites of the whole vacation.

It Gives Me Fever ~ Farmington NM Newborn Photographer

Baby Fever that is! I'm sharing waayyy too many here, but I was just so excited to have my first newborn in over year, and little Kayda was so good. I did pictures a couple months ago of Kayda's brother and sisters and few maternity pictures for her parents. The link is Here.

One of my biggest regrets is not getting newborn pictures done of my Gatlin and Carsyn, so I really want to encourage people to have them done. The ideal time to have newborn pictures taken is within the first two weeks. The babies are still sleepy and like to curl up. Awake newborn photos are wonderful too, but it is awfully hard to get several of them with both eyes looking in the same direction! Now I am not saying you have to come to me (although I would love it), but have them done. You won't regret it!

Isn't she just perfection!

Congratulations on such a beautiful baby girl! You really have a wonderful family.

Lots of Fun ~ Farmington NM Photographer

These three kiddos are each so beautiful and unique in their look and personality. They were a hoot to work with, and I loved watching them interact with each other (sibling relationships are fascinating). Oh, and did I mention how photogenic they are!

Isn't she a beauty!

Loved her pose! Only a 3-year-old can pull this off!

Oh boy is this guy a little climber!

And sometimes you just go with it! Here's that sibling interaction I was talking about.

A Piggy-Tailed Sweetheart

Since before she was born, her Momma and Daddy have called her Sweet Pea. It is very fitting! Now pictures weren't really on her agenda that day, but when you are this cute, you look adorable doing just about anything!

My Personal Blog

I have decided to set up a new blog for sharing more of the daily happenings of our family and more of the family snapshots. Here's the link if you want to visit: http://www.jamesfamilysnaps.blogspot.com/

My Favorites ~ Amber Dawn Photography ~ Farmington NM Photographer

I had to share some of my favorites from my senior session with Vinell. We started off taking a few in her basketball uniforms.

Then we moved on to these! Thanks so much for choosing me to take these photos. I had a great time! She truly is just beautiful!
