My Nephew

This little pudge ball is my nephew Crew. My sister Ashley and Crew travelled from Arizona to celebrate my birthday with us. Oh man did I have fun with them! Here's a few shots I got of the little munchkin.




This is my favorite picture of the two of them!




Oh for goodness sake, how did this get in here? Oh well, here are my two boys. Aren't they cute?!!!



Happy Sunday!

'H' Family

I have been so blessed these past two months to have worked with so many great families! This family was no exception. They were such troopers and went along with the flow. :) Thanks so much H family! You guys are so much fun! Enjoy your pictures!




This picture cracks me up. Shannon, forgive me for posting this. :) I wasn't even going to edit it, but it drew me in! I love it. Suc serious little tykes. They are like this all the time right??!! :)




These two kids are like child models!



Happy Thanksgiving! I will have another post for you tomorrow!

The 'V' Family!

This post has been long awaited I know. It is difficult to work when you have your little nephew and sister in town for your birthday! So that is where I have been for the past little bit. But now it's work time. This family cracked me up. I was a little nervous for 5 kids... but these guys were so well behaved! They totally were great sports. I had a great time with you guys. We definitely got some unique shots with the boys and their sword fighting and all. Isn't this a great family picture?!












Here's the running shot Julie Beth wanted. I think it turned out great! Such cute kids!!

Happy Monday!

General and Jackie

This is General. Jackie loves her doggie! Well who wouldn't?! He was so much fun! A bit of a stinker at times, but so so cute! (and just for reference Jackie, my old dog Hollywood would have been an even bigger stinker. hehe) This shoot was so fun because not only did Jackie bring her cute dog, she brought her cute sister and her cute niece. I got a mix of different shots with all involved and wish I could share them all. I love them!


Isn't she cute? Who wouldn't want to bring their little niece along? My 6 month old nephew just left this morning to go back to AZ. Oh how I miss his smiles already!




So cute!



Have a wonderful day!

Ashley and Jake

I stared and stared at these pictures trying to figure out which should go first. This one won. I love how all these turned out for them. Luck had to be on my side with how great these two were in front of the camera, how nice the weather and light was, and the fact that we went to two fabulous locations. I would gladly repeat this session if anyone is interested. :) Downtown and cheekwood anyone?






I could not figure out which I liked better. Color? Black and white? Ahhh... I love them both!


This one is probably my favorite of the day. Isn't it so sweet? Love it!







Big finish! Happy Monday!

She's going to graduate!

...well not till the spring. But still. I remember being a senior in HS and being so excited that you were going to get out of HS and get into the great big world. Shhhhh... don't tell anyone, but sometimes I wouldn't mind going back for a bit. I liked high school. I loved my friends. And the memories I made will always be priceless to me.

But this isn't about me. (darn it!) This is about my friend Jessica who is going into the great big world soon. Congrats to you! You are a gorgeous girl inside and out. I can't wait to see who you become... :)


As I have previously mentioned, this girl is fabulous!! Not only is she beautiful, but she can sing and play the guitar! She rocks! We shot these pictures at her high school and around the town by her house. I love so many of them.




Look at those eyes! And that skin! I really didn't doctor up her features at all. Just a tad of brightening is all!




Gotta love this truck! It is so vintage and it totally fits who Jess is. And it was in the right place at the right time. Oh the magic I feel in my heart. :)




Ok, about this cat. I sat Jess down here because the light was great etc, and this cat WOULD NOT leave us alone. I have SO many pictures with the darn cat in it. Her tail, her paw, it was like she knew we were taking pictures and that Jessica was a Dr. Dolittle just waiting to adopt her. I tried to scare her off and apparently I am not scary because the darn cat wouldn't leave. Oh well, we had fun!!! :)







Who doesn't love a good silhouette shot? Happy Sunday!

'H' Family Preview

Aren't those two adorable? Makes me want to hug them. :) These guys were so much fun too! Thanks for spending the morning with me. More pictures to come soon.

'V' Kids Preview

Aren't these kids cute?! This family was so fun to work with. You guys were great sports. Enjoy your preview. Lots more to come.

The 'F' Family

I got my computer back today!! Yay! (it had to go get a few little tweaks done...) But all is well on the picture front. I am going to be working hard to make sure all of my client's pictures get finished in a timely fashion. :)

'F' family, you guys rock! It was so much fun to shoot pictures of you guys! You are so full of life and it shows! Thanks for the opportunity. Enjoy!


Aren't they fun?!




Will really wanted to take their pictures in an area that had this old gas station pump. Isn't it cool?! I love old stuff like this. Very vintage!


This first one is Caleb. He is definitely the older brother... sometimes I think he doesn't want to be the older brother, but then again he sure does. :) Does that make sense? No? Yes? Oh well. He is a cutie!


This is Tyler. This turned out the be my favorite shot of the whole shoot. He really was working the camera!


Here's Derek. This kid cracks me up. He is super full of personality.


And finally, here's Logan. He's the baby of the family, and look at that baby face! Makes me want to kiss him. :)

Happy Friday!

The 'B' Family

Aren't these kids adorable? This picture was hard to get. I didn't realize how hard it was to get three, albeit cute, kids to look happy all at the same time. They did it!!



This is little Sophie. Her parents tell me that she 'rules the roost' and how can you not believe them? Too cute for words!





I wanted to try something kinda funky and I love it! Those leaves!!





This is Rob and Kristy. Doesn't she have the best name ever?! They are such a cute couple! They run marathons you know. Man! I bet they could teach me a thing or two about exercise. But we'll save that for another day. :)







I love all these pictures. This family really was so much fun to work with. Thank you again B family! Enjoy!
