Awesome End to an Awesome Year!

Ok, this one of Sandy and Rob was supposed to be at the bottom with the other couples, but my post got messed up and it ended up here on top. But that is ok....what a gorgeous couple to start this post with. And I love their expressions...they were crackin' up at something (still not sure what..ha) but I love how cute they are.

Ok, on with the show :)

2009 was such a great year for Lisa Kelly Photo and I couldn't of picked a better family to end the year with. I had the pleasure of photographing Sandy and her beautiful family this summer and they were such a blast. So I knew when she contacted me for a session with her husband Rob's extended family it was going to be great. We met on Dec 26th and it was a cold cold snowy day. We originally planned to shoot outside, but the cold made us change our plans. Sandy was awesome with helping me brainstorm a new location. We decided on The History Museum. It worked out perfect, it was a little darker and a little busier (who would of thought) than I would of liked....they were so easy to work with and a ton of fun...so we worked it out. We even grabbed a few outdoor shots at the end...and of course they were my favorites.

Here they are...aren't they adorable. I mean seriously, some darn good lookin people! We thought it would be neat to get the Spirit of St. Louis in the background, I LOVE how it turned out.

I love this one too! Look at the girls with their hands on their hips...how awesome are they?!?

This is the first "large family group" that I had all teens to work with it, and I love my little guys and gals...but this was truly awesome! You could see how close they all are and they were so much fun! I could only imagine all the fun, crazy stuff I could of had them doing if we weren't surrounded by Museum Security :)

This my friends....is my favorite shot of the session. I know, it is a booty shot...but I love it!

This one where you can see their faces is pretty darn cute too! And we got it outside.... LOVE.

And the grand kids with grandma. Grandma is gorgeous, seriously...I can see where all these beautiful kiddos get their looks.

The next are candids that were caught by my second shooter and my sister in law Jessica. Jessica is going to be assisting me a LOT more in 2010 and if you book a large family session, she will be there with camera in hand to capture those candid moments. I love this series of 4, Jessica did such a great job!

She nailed this jump shot...

This one she caught of Grandma and Christian is my 2nd favorite of the day. I love it!

Now on to some family shots. I love this one, and the snow coming down really adds to it.

And the whole family, how cute are they!

This is probably my favorite "indoor" family shoot. I love the red and black.

And this is Sandy and her gang.

And the couples, I LOVE couple time :) Sharon (below) was so darn cute....she was so excited to get some fun, romantic shots with her husband. I love how they turned out, this one was my favorite. Look at how they look at each other....

I love this one, how gorgeous is that red with their dark coloring.....it just pops. Great choice of color guys.

One of my favorite....these couple shots seriously make me smile BIG.

I had a BLAST with you guys! Thank you for being flexible on locations, patient while I scouted out the best spots with the best lighting and for just being so much fun! I wish you all a fantastic 2010!
