RACHAEL EARL » PHOTOGRAPHY: Lifestyle Portraiture and Wedding Photography

I had the pleasure of finally meeting Laura Siivola, a fellow photographer, last week for her family photos!  Laura, like me, is very BAD at scheduling her own family photos. She is just as nice, fun, and funny as I had guessed she would be, and her family is just the same.  We had a great time at the Phoenix Zoo!  Here are a few faves:

Her CUTE little baby girl

So good meeting you, Laura! And hopefully we’ll see more of each other!!!

Fact: I haven’t had my own family photos taken since I was pregnant…shhhh…

Isn’t she the cutest thing you ever did see? YES

Lily’s favorite thing? Mauling mama with kisses:

Fact: Babies + Fairy Wings = Irresistable

Some of my FAVORITE families have moved away this year, including this awesome family You guys will be missed!!! But before they moved away, I was able to shoot some birthday photos of Christian for his 5th birthday!

By looking at these photos, you would think I was the funniest person on the planet…which I will continue to let you think.

We’ll call this one “High Five.”

Fact: The only good thing about this family moving is that it means we have an excuse to go visit them in California…with maybe a pit stop at Disneyland?

Just a few cute ones of these cuties who are my girls’ best friends!

Three 3 year-old TRIPLETS from this morning!

This poor sweet thing was sick during our shoot

Fact: Parents of multiples are saints. One kid at a certain age (terrible 3′s?) is hard enough-my hats off to you!

What is it about the poor third child? They get all the hand-me-downs, rarely get photographed, and when they do, don’t even get their faces wiped. We still love you though, Char-Char…SO SO SO much.

First off, I have to explain that this is an affectionate nickname for this sweet little boy. You’ve heard of a Yes Man, but he would probably be more of a No Man since every question is answered with a “No” and a smile

But of course we had to play off it…

Girls everywhere are jealous of these eyelashes:

Meet Stinky Puppy:

Three…kind of.

I like that the sucker looks like a clown nose

And cute x 4:

In honor of LaToya being back on Celebrity Apprentice…(yes, I am addicted)…click on the image

I just had to post it.
