The Van Leeuwen Family

Meet my brother-in-law & his adorable family. I got to do their family pictures over the weekend but have been crazy busy since & hadn't had a chance to get them posted - so, here they are. We had originally planned to take these pictures at Snowbird but when we arrived it was SO crowded (thanks to Oktoberfest) that we decided to keep driving & looking for another place to do their pics. We drove for a little longer & then we found this spot, it was perfect & the colors were more vibrant than where we had originally planned. I love this time of the year, the leaves are so brightly colored & makes for the most beautiful backdrops! Now, I just have to say, I love this family, these kiddo's are just the cutest (ok, so really all our nieces & nephews are) and are so much fun to be around (and mom & dad aren't too bad to be around themselves).

D&N - I'm glad we found this great spot & I hope you like the pics, I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites to post!

don't forget to schedule your fall photo session

October 18th is fast approaching (that's the last day I'll be doing sessions until about the end of November). I still have a few openings available in October so if you're thinking about getting pictures done shoot me an e-mail so we can get your session scheduled. The leaves are changing & now is a great time to get those family pictures updated!

I've got a bunch of sessions in the next week, so come back soon and see what I've been up to!

The Macfarlane Family

Last night I got to shoot the cutest family. Their little girl is not only just the cutest little thing but she's about the same age as my little guy. It's a hard age to capture as they're so curious and wanting to see and touch everything, but it's also so much fun! It was great to meet you guys!

it's time to start thinking about SENIOR PORTRAITS and FALL FAMILY PICTURES

Calling all High School Seniors and Parents of High School Seniors!! With school having recently started, it's a great time to start thinking about senior portraits and with that I recently added a "Senior Special" to my packages. For $40 you get a 60 minute session at a location of your choice with no limit to outfit changes, and a high resolution copyright release disc of your 10 favorite images.

If you'd like more information about this "Senior Special" (including information about multiple location sessions, longer sessions, sessions for more than one senior, etc.), have any questions, or to schedule your Senior Session send me an e-mail - vivienvanleeuwen@yahoo.com.

And don't forget to schedule your Fall Family Picture session (think updated pictures for this years Christmas Cards). Since I'll be adding to my family next month I'm only scheduling sessions through mid October. Since I've heard having two kids take a bit of adjusting I'll only take a small number of sessions from Mid November through the first of the year. So, if you're interested in scheduling a Fall Session you might want to get it scheduled quickly as my availability is filling up.

Baby G

Lucky Me - two sweet little newborn sessions in just over a week.

This sweet little thing was only 6 days old when I shot her newborn session. You've seen her older sisters on here in the past. From the time I arrived to take Baby G's pictures her silly sisters were begging for me to take some of them too, but that day was all about Baby G. I think she's just too precious and holding her makes me so excited for my little one's arrival at the end of next month! She's such a mellow & easy going little thing. Though her session was probably the longest session I've shot, I had a blast shooting her and visiting with her parents! I'm pretty lucky that I get to call this little bundle my niece!

Here are some of my favorites - Enjoy!

Baby E

I had a blast shooting this sweet baby boy, he sure got me excited for my own little guy(coming in about 2 months). He is such a tiny little dude and is just too cute. Here's a peak at Baby E.

The Lowe Family

Check out how cute this family is. These guys are some old friends from my High School days & it was so fun to see their adorable family. They just had their 3rd & were in need of some new family pics. Here's a few pics from their session.
