The Olsons { family photographer }

This family is such a hoot!  They LOVE to have fun, which made for a really fun session.  Even the family dog got involved.  (And, of course, we got a little goofy.)

Down for the Count

I was doing some editing the other day while my 4-year-old "patiently" waited for her turn to play a game on the computer.  I noticed that she had gotten pretty quiet, so I turned around and found this.

I think she needed a nap.

Blake & Amanda -- Just Married!

Amanda is a good theater buddy of mine from college, and I had the honor of photographing her wedding in Utah just before Christmas.  Everything was perfect -- including a fresh layer of snow covering everything in sight.  Gorgeous!  Congratulations to Blake and Amanda!

This family is so cute!  And don't you just want to squeeze their darling little girl?!?

Have Yourself a Very Mickey Christmas

This was our Christmas Card this year:

Christmas Card 2012 copy

As you've probably guessed, we spend a LOT of time at Disneyland.  (It helps that we live so close.)  So what better way to celebrate Christmas Eve than at the happiest place on earth with some of our good friends?!?  Here are some snippets from our fun-filled day, even though it rained on us for half the morning.

On a side note -- don't order the pretzels at Disneyland. It was so dry! Our 4-year-old didn't even want to eat it.

Christmas Dresses

Yes, my girls go all matchy-matchy for Christmas (at least till they get old enough to start complaining about it).  I always love how cute they are all festively dressed up, so I tried to get some pictures of them the Sunday morning before Christmas.  Even though I only have one picture where they're both looking at the camera and smiling, I still love this set of pictures, because it totally showcases their fun-loving spirits.  Enjoy!
