The Carr Family

This is the third opportunity I've had to spend time with this family and I'm so thankful for that.

We braved the bitter temperatures for most of this session and then moved inside to make baby N a little bit happier. 

Best Face From 2012

As soon as I saw this I heart Faces challenge I knew what my favorite face photo of the year was!

Little baby N was a joy to photograph. This sweet baby was part of a very special adoption story. If you would like to see part of the story in photos go here http://ajcoombs.blogspot.com/2012/09/baby-natalyn.html and here http://ajcoombs.blogspot.com/2012/08/paper-pregnant.html

Then when I caught this sweet baby smile I fell deeper in love with what I do .

So here is my best face from 2012

I know the thoughts that I think towards you says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Jeremiah 29:11

An Afternoon of Mini-Sessions

We had a beautiful afternoon for my first ever mini session and I don't think it could have gone better

The Snyder Family

The Nichols Family








The Gilfilian Family

The Tordel Family

 I was able to experience two first with this family........1.Yet another new location........2. Twins!!

The locations this family choose were both owned by family members.

The first location being the Mother's grandmothers house. The kids had fun playing in the leaves and with Great-Grandma's pumpkins and gourds. Her beautiful property made for a wonderful backdrop of fall colors.

The second location was the Mom's brother's property, with its scenic view and gorgeous fall colors.

Ella was the perfect little model for me and even did a great job of getting smiles out of her little brothers.

Xander and Xavier were the first set of twins I had ever had the pleasure of capturing and even though they made me work for it I did get some smiles out of them. ~smile~

Thanks Tordel family for the fun afternoon of first!

The Mauser Family

I had fun with the Mauser family on this overcast, windy Saturday afternoon.

I tried out a new location at the Marathon railroad station and then we moved to their family members beautiful farm. And it made for beautiful photos.

Arianna stepped up first and showed her little brother how it was done and she did it with ease!

Carter was slower to warm up but once we started looking for the moon we were good to go!

Thanks so much for an awesome day Mauser family!

Kristina.....or Tanner as I will forever call her.

I have known this lady almost as long as my nine year old daughter has lived.

She was introduced to me as Tanner, I later found out it wasn't in fact her first name. ~smile~

We became immediate friends. 

We have been through many ups and downs with each other.

We have babysat each others children.

Have gone months without talking for no particular reason except for the fact we had very busy lives.

But no matter how long its been since we have talked we can pick up where we left off like it was just yesterday

We had a lot of fun on this headshots and more session. (Even with three kids in tow~wink~)

So with out further ado my gorgeous friend "Tanner"!
