Sisters Forever! {McKinney Family Photography}

Usually when I am processing a session, there are 8-12 images that really stand out to me.  Those are the ones I choose for sneak peeks on my blog.  Every once in awhile I have a session where the images all jump out at me and I can't narrow them down.  This was one of those sessions.  These girls are just so precious and had such fun personalities.  I couldn't just show the good ones.  I had to show the outtakes because to me they are better than the "perfect ones".  These are the images I choose with my own kids - tongues stuck out, giggles, and hitting each other.  These are real life.  So I picked some of the perfectly smiling pictures to share today, but I also shared the full story.  Through life any sister will tell you that some days you love your sister, some days you want to punch your sister, some days you want to be beside your sister and some days you just want to be as far away as you can get from her- but sisters are sisters forever!  Enjoy a day in the life of two sisters....

Getting bigger every year! {McKinney Family Photography}

I have said it before, but I just really love this family.  It is wonderful to photograph a family year after year.  As I edited these pictures, I was struck by how grown up the kids have gotten over the years.  So much fun to watch them grow!

Have you ever seen the movie "Holiday Inn"?  When I did this session the opening song kept running through my head...."Sisters....sisters...." (if you haven't seen the movie, put it on your holiday viewing list this year!  Tons of fun!)

One fun image from the afternoon...

All I can say is WOW! 

All Grown Up {Frisco Family Photography}

It is such a treat to get to photograph a family with older kids.  You say "stand here" and they do!  Of course boys are only doing this to placate mom...but whatever she wants, right?!

I enjoyed my evening with this family a few weeks ago.  It is so wonderful to be around people that really love each other.  Thanks guys for a great evening!

Can You Say "Personality???!!!" {McKinney Family Photography}

I met this adorable family a couple of weeks ago on a grey and overcast Saturday morning.  I was nervous the pictures would not turn out as the sky was so dark.  But...we needed to get the pictures done while the grandparents were here.

I love how these pictures turned out.  I decided to put a vintage wash on the previews just because I thought it really enhanced the pinks in their outfits and the greens in the trees. 

The girls were just tons of fun.  We just let them be and got the most adorable pictures.  Even the one on the bench they posed themselves.  Not bad (and I just went with it as they all sat still and smiled!)

Enjoy...

LOVE LOVE LOVE This Family! {McKinney Family Photography}

Oh my goodness how I love this family!  Those who have been my clients for awhile will recognize Deora as my amazing and capable assistant last year.  We took extended family pictures this morning and as always, I try to post one picture before the day is over so they don't have to wait.   

HOWEVER...

...as I was downloading the images onto my computer I found what I think is one of my all time favorite images ever!  It was spur of the moment.  I was trying to get a picture of the kiddos and my NEW LOVE SEAT was in the background.  The men were about to carry it off for me and load in the car so it wouldn't be in the background, but it just screamed for mom and dad to sit on it with the kids remaining where I had them.  So...I had to post this image because I love it so much.  . 



So are you just loving the new Love Seat from The Elegant Door in the Shops at Fairview??? I am and you can use it this fall too!


And here is one of the entire family from earlier in the morning...
