OMG I know I keep saying this but it is true, some of these pics are works of art. One of the Cathy ones made me cry. I miss her I guess.And Sophies pictures...how georgeous... I could go on and on.Well I would have gone on and on about the brilliant picture of Piper posted on another blog.
Those are so beautiful! I love Cathy. Please tell her hi for me and how I wish she would start blogging so I could tell her hi myself.
Please also tell her I think she's beautiful and so is her sweet family.
I was glad to see pics of her baby, too.
p.s. did I tell you yet I think you are a damn fine photographer? oops, I think I swore there, but it's been one of those days and darn just wasn't cutting it.
AHHHHH! i love you, shannon. you could make anyone look good. it was fun to do and well worth the wait! and to those of you that have commented...thanks, you are too kind. i was thinking earlier today that life is hard but, my dreams are coming true...i have a beautiful, healthy family! what more could i want? thanks again.
Shannon, you are getting better every time you post :) I love these family shots especially the ones with the mountain in the background. Keep up the good work.
There are some REALLY sweet images in this series- love the landscape too- Wish we could trade landscapes every once in awhile for variety.... Want to photograph in a vineyard? Great job!++
I have a peeve about names and name spellings. I'm not the boss of anyone and their name rights, but I do have an opinion and am not afraid to use it ;)
I don't understand the fetish of spelling a name completely different or making up some bizarre one for that kid to "stand out."
How 'bout you teach Chris self-esteem, confidence, and the strength to "stand out" by being a great musician, artist, student, humanitarian, friend, hard worker, etc. instead of making Khrys have to spell/explain his name for everyone he comes in contact with for the REST OF HIS LIFE?
If you find your or your kids name(s) on this list don't get bent out of shape. Hopefully you are confident in yourself to realize that not everyone will agree with you in life and you decided when you picked the name (or chose not to legally change it as an adult) that it doesn't matter what people think because you like it.

If you're in the market for baby names (if you've already named your child this, it's all good; I'm talking about future born children here), DO NOT name your kid these overused names (including the different spelling variations):
(How do people NOT know these are popular?)
Sophie
Jaden
Addison
Ella
Madison
Kate
Jane
Ava
Connor
Joshua
Isabelle/Isabella/Bella
Emma
Isaac
Olivia
Jacob
Zachary
Kaitlyn
Noah
Emily
Jackson
Aiden

Sofia (if you're stuck on Sophie, I like the European spelling)
Davis

Some names that should be off-the-market (like retiring a sports jersey number), for obvious reasons...

These are great Shannon! What a fun location and such cute kids. You captured their personalities wonderfully and the family shots are beautiful.

Smitten! Oh, oh, so pretty!
One of these fine days, when I've had all the sleep I need, plus a decent haircut, maybe I'll call upon your services for our fam.
(cw: As one who appears to be ardently committed to well-applied damns, I hope that helped you.)
Love those mountain shots and you did a great job capturing those sweet little kids!!
Lovely!! They look fantastic!
Cathy's hot. I love these photos.
