i know, i know, we are literally now into february but here is the super adorable grader family and their 2011 xmas session.  i just adore this family, their little boy, carter, is one of raney’s best friends, they just “clicked” when they were in kindergarten together last year and even though they aren’t in the same first grade class this year *sad face*, they still find time to see and hang out with each other, whether it be at school lunch, recess or play dates….they are just the best of buds!  and carter’s too cute for words little sister, taylor and his parents have all got a very special place in my heart!

this family session is probably one of my favorites that i’ve shot thus far.  i’m still a little behind on posting all my amazing sessions from this past 2011 fall|winter and trying to catch up as fast as possible.  i came from a small town and went to school with justin.  his wife, dawn and her family, whom i’ve known for many, many years, is also from our little town of buckeye, which btw, isn’t too little anymore.  dawn and i spoke very early on and had many conversations about what she was envisioning for her family session, i loved how involved she was!  with knowing what she wanted, we ended up having to re-scheduele a few times so that we could get that “perfect” location.  but even with all the hard work and her ideal vision, our location ended up being NOT exactly “the” location that she had hoped for but all in all we did get the casualness, rustic feel she was going for and i couldn’t be happier with the outcome.  justin and dawn, you sure make some gorgeous babies!!!!!!!

i’ve still got a a few sessions to blog from 2011 and i’ll start with the beautiful sawyer family………
