Man it has been a good season for photos! I have been so stoked to take photos and have done a few families in the past month! I always appreciate those who are willing to hire me because it is an honor to capture memories for them. I know that sounds cheesy but I mean it!
I first met the Lizana family when I taught Emma in 4th grade. Nancy was always helping out in our classroom and I just loved little Emma. It was an awesome surprise when Nancy got a hold of me at the beginning of this month, in quite the conundrum, however. Her husband Mauricio is from Chile and they wanted to send some family pictures to his mother for Christmas. The only problem is that they needed them before the 29th. Luckily we were able to meet up and schedule a time. This month has been so ridiculous for weather. It's been 60 degrees every day! Every day, that is, until we hit the Saturday we were supposed to shoot. It snowed, and rained, and was just horribly miserable. We were able to reschedule for the next day, but it was a lot colder than we had anticipated. Everyone was so amazing though, despite the cold.
I know that their parents might disagree (I hear it all the time at Parent Teacher Conferences), but these four kids were awesome together. They definitely enjoy each other's company and we were all always laughing. Mauricio and Nancy are so comfortable together, and their love shines through in their photos. I love shoots like this where everything just seems to come so naturally and this family is absolutely beautiful inside and out!

| Olivia took a while to warm up, but then she was the funniest little girl! |
 |
| Abby is beautiful, she is in 9th grade, but you'd never guess! She was so easy to talk to and get that real smile out of. |
 |
| Emma has grown so much in the 3 years since I've taught her. Out of the four, she was the hardest to get to really smile, it took a while, but we finally got a few :) |
 |
| Ethan has probably got the hardest job, being the only boy, but he is so good around his sisters! |
 |
| Needless to say, I was in love with Olivia's hair! She was such a sweet little girl once we were able to get her in our photos! She also has the most awesome expressions, I can't tell you how many photos I had of her with these "Oh, really?" looks, I loved it! |
 |
| This is how a lot of this shoot went, but I looooved it! |
 |
| These two just seem to be meant for each other, they were always together when we weren't shooting them and everything came so naturally to them! |
Thank you Lizana Family for allowing me in to your lives and trusting in me!
