Sugar and Spice

So when Daniel and I lived at his aunt's house I use to visit monthly with this neighbor, she was awesome. She had lots of girls and their family grew up alongside Daniel's family. I learned a lot about her grown daughters through her, but little did I know that I would come to see some of them on a regular basis. In fact the 3 oldest girls go to the same gym as I do and one teaches my favorite Turbo kick class. Another of the girls is 2 weeks farther along than I am and getting ready for her 3rd baby also. And the oldest girl is actually in my ward. I think she might have thought I was a creeper since she moved in and I was asking about her life in Japan the last 3 years and her husband's air force service ( I think I forgot to mention that I use to visit teach her mom :) but seriously her family is so darn cute no one would blame me for stalking :)

I got the call that they wanted a shoot and that we were on a limited time frame since they were going out of town, we actually did the shoot the EVENING before they left due to weather conditions. Not being able to plan was a little nerve racking. So I just decided to take some stress off and combine the two previous shoot locations because I knew the lighting and had just done them. It's interesting how two different families/personalities can take photos in the same place and come out with a completely different feel!

Matt and Kaelee were too cute! I know that Kaelee is excited that Matt is now done in the Air Force and will be able to be home a little more often.

In fact he JUST got home during Thanksgiving and I would say she was down right tickled to have him back!

I think having that extra someone to be around to help parent is putting the smile on her face...

Because even though those these 3 beautiful girls look completely angelic

they are still FUN, ACTIVE children

There was

 Gorgeous Sydney who was such a fashionista, making sure everyone was perfect and giving wardrobe advice!

Go get em Reagan who kept you on your toes and had the cutest, funniest facial expressions!

And Tatum...oh my this girl was so cute her eyes just beamed with a touch of mischief. Talk about personality!


I just kept thinking man these girls are beautiful.
I guess that's what you get when you have a gorgeous mama


of course a handsome Daddy doesn't hurt

Combined you have one FUN good looking family

Who provided me with my favorite Kissing sequence EVER...I just love the girls expressions

Oh, my it was enjoyable shooting you Clifford family. My favorite was when I overheard Matt tell Kaelee this wasn't as bad as he thought it would be :) I am glad we get to see each other on a weekly basis now and hope to get to know your whole family better, because you guys were awesome!
