seriously great | granger photographer

I think I'm still smiling from spending time with these amazing kids.  I've been watching them grow through my lens for several years now and meeting with them is a highlight of my year.  This time they brought along their adorable cousins.  Double the fun!  Seriously great kids.  And I seriously love my time spent with them. :)

I love these kids | granger family photographer

I just love these kids and this family!  Matt and I have had the privilege of working with them as they make their way through our Jr Church/KidVenture program at church.  They are a fun bunch!  And lucky you (and lucky me), you'll get to see them here again early next year when we meet for their family photo session.  I still can't get over the fact that we were without coats when we met for our December 1st session?  And with this I'm wrapping up the last of my 2012 sessions.  What an amazing year, filled with beautiful smiling faces!  I can't thank you all enough.  

the gang | granger kid photographer

I was so looking forward to this school-picture-of-a-different-kind session with this good-looking gang. As its been in the past, I knew it would be a good time. I love these kids. They are good kids. Each one of them. It's a privilege to watch them grow like this. This year I got a kick out of the fact that instead of silly jokes or funny words, Mom was simply saying the name of (a no-doubt cute) boy or girl from school. Totally did the trick. Thanks for a fun session, guys!

stinky feet | mishawaka child photographer

I love these boys. They are serious about picture taking, though. Super great for those soulful looks. But I knew momma would love to see their real, handsome smiles. So I did something that I rarely do (but just might more often after seeing these gems), I had to talk about stinky feet and other smelly things. They didn't quite know what to think at first, but it got the smiles and that's what's counts this time. Thanks for a fun morning, guys. Keep smilin', it looks good on ya. :D
