Nearing Family

This was my very last shoot of 2012. 2012 was a FANTASTIC year for me, work wise. This was the year I got to spread my wings and do what I reallllly loved, and felt more confident in myself, and felt absolutely touched by the amount of support and praise I have received from friends and strangers alike. This joyful family was the most perfect way to round out this fantastic year. I tried to pick my most favorites, but had a really hard time and I tried to only keep the preview to 10 photos! Thank you Nearing family for choosing me, and a special thank you to the kids who suffered through the freezing weather!

 

There are more "serious" photos as well, but 

I kept picking the laughing ones as my favorites.

This is the original Nearing bunch...before it expanded!

I went to high school with these two, AND I "crashed" their

wedding! By "crash" I mean, I was the guest of a guest. ;)

this cracks me up.

isn't she sweet?!

What a good looking bunch of people to photograph.

Made my job SO easy. :)

McV Grandkids!

Oh, you know...you've seen most of these kids on here before! Even recently, I would say. The matriarch of the McV fam called upon me to take some photos of her beautiful, fun, funny grandchildren. It poured and hailed on the way to her house, and I was a bit worried! But it cleared up and made for some fun photos. Don't they look like a fun family? (They are.)
