I met the Breuer family in 2009 when we scrambled to find a date for Ron & Eileen’s children and grandchildren to all be in one place at the same time for the family Christmas portrait. They are a lovely family, with the beautiful little ones infusing the sitting with a joyful energy. I was delighted when they called me again for their 2010 portrait, and after wrangling a few schedules, we managed to squeeze in a session over the Thanksgiving weekend. Here are some of my favorite images:

Amelia in holiday dress-up. Does she know how precious she looks?

As lovely as the color version is, there is something so timeless about black and white photos.

Holiday photos are a perfect way to watch a family grow.

The whole gang-three generations of Breuers. What a challenge to get all the kids to smile at once!

Kids just look so natural and comfortable in poses on the floor.

Emmaline in her Christmas PJs--so cute!
We keep it fun and give the kids plenty of breaks-usually everyone is still smiling when we wrap it up too! Thank you, Ron & Eileen-it was wonderful see how everyone has grown! I hope we can make this an annual tradition!
