You think you know someone...

So this is my beautiful niece Kaitlyn. She was my baby back LONG ago, before I had my babies...she was the first little person that made me feel maternal when she was born, and I was 13. Although she tells everyone I was mean, and didn't feed her when I would babysit (NOT FUNNY ANYMORE KATE!), I adored this little gal to death (and I promise I did feed her). Here's the thing- I never realized how STUNNINGLY beautiful she was until I sat here editing her photos. WOW!!!

Love ya Ka-Ka!

Friends' Thanksgiving

Every year my high school girl friends and I get together for what we call our "Fall Ball," which really boils down to us hanging out over dinner and conversation. This year, I decided to host a "Friends' Thanksgiving" which would include our families as well. We all pitched in with food (which was pretty darn good), the kiddos watched a movie, and then we all played a game of "Apples-To-Apples."

Good friends, good food, good times, good memories!













The infamous "kids" table!

A little Family Time....

We took pics throughout the long weekend, so I thought I'd share some. We had a few Thanksgiving celebrations, and here is one with Brett's side of the family. Below are a few favorites from the day....lots, and lots of kiddos and lot of fun (and reasons to be thankful!!!).



slacking on the job....but cute as could be.




My new little nephew :)

Silly fun

Some lonnngggg weekend photos coming soon. In the meantime we created some "meez" of us. If you haven't heard of it, it's just silly fun. (Click on them to create your own- If you do, leave it in a comment to us!)

Presenting, two of your favorite photographers!

(Oh, and YES Brett does have the handle bar mustache thing going on right now...)

We won a fun little photo contest :)

So how was your Thanksgiving? We are still having fun- 1 down, 2 to go! I will be sure to put some fun T-day photos up here next week. Hope your time is fun and relaxing.

So, we entered a fun contest on Blu Domain which is the place we will be getting our new website from. Here was the contest rule:

"WIN A 200.00 GIFT CARD TO www.nordstrom.com. Send me a photograph 600 pixels wide of your family sitting on the hood of car and tell me one thing you are thankful for."

You can see it at the link below, but here is the photo we entered:

Happy Thanksgiving from Studio3z

Wishing you all a warm time of thanks, from us to you. We certainly are thankful for all of you...your kindness and support allows us to do what we love.

Have a blessed day of thanks tomorrow! :)



Thanksgiving makes us all a little sleepy...

Four wonderful generations

Even though we picked the coldest day this fall to do pictures, it didn't spoil the mood for this fun family. This is my friend Becky's family, (you may remember her and her beautiful girls from a few posts before). Her Mom, brother, and grandmother decided to join together and get some family photos. I have always had a love of generational photos, so I was really excited. :)

What I love about this family is how they don't mind being goofy and having fun. They played "pass the hat" and everyone had at least one photo in Emma's (the 5 yr. old's) hat! This session was more like family playtime, and Brett and I got to tag along. That made us happy :)

Thanks you guys!!
