one of my favorites to take photos of....

 haha, love this last photo. in the moment, not stoked about being at a party

these photos are of my third daughter's soon to be best friend.   dont we wish we could always pick our kids friends? we are so blessed to have amazing friends and blessed that those friends have amazing kids.  seeing our older two run around with their friends just makes me smile!
by the way, concerning my photography...to be honest, before i started taking photos this fall for my Christmas special (still going on by the way, $85, one hour, five people), i really wasn't stoked to take photos of people, i preferred objects and landscape.  on average, they behave a little bit better and dont move so much!  however, i am actually REALLY enjoying all the families i have taken photos of so far!  I am excited to see where this leads dunes street.....thanks to all of those who have let me take your photo this year, and thanks to all of those who are going to hire me to take your photos this year
