My sweet baby

Well, he isn't much of a baby anymore. He is almost 2 1/2 but he will always be my baby. :) Anyways, I always struggle getting photos of him, even if you might not think it. I usually have to take HUNDREDS of him to get a handful of decent ones. Once and a while I will get one that I just love.. for instance, this one

I know he looks like a model doesn't he? Well I won't even show you the other ones I took from this mini shoot. lol

Then I get something like this... another model shot. All others from this shoot... not so good.

Cracks me up.

This is my favorite new shot of him, taken just yesterday.

He was in some sort of zombie mode so most of the shots ended up looking like this, infact I would say 80% of the shots were just like this lol.

But somehow, I did get him to laugh


I'm just glad although I usually only get a handful of good shots from each session with him that I do get some awesome keepers.

The {M} Family

I was so excited for this shoot today, of course mother nature had other plans. But, when we got there it was sprinkling a bit and when we got out to check things out it stopped. It was still very windy and cold but we managed to get a few before we all froze. I wish the storm would have held out a little longer, it was so beautiful earlier today! For some reason I am always more nervous when I shoot other photographers, even when we are related. :) Andee is a very talented photographer, you can check out here work here.




This one cracked me up! :D

Teens are probably one of my favorite subjects. They are just so fun! I was very excited that my cousins were willing to go on a mini shoot with me. It would have been longer, but it started to rain on us. But we had fun anyway. We are going to try again when we get together for Thanksgiving.. We might be blessed with a beautiful sunny day!

The {H} Family

I have been so excited to get working on this session. Unfortunately my computer has been having problems still so I haven't been able to even look at the photos until this morning. This is my 3rd session with this family and I'm so glad they keep coming back. Their little ones are so fun to photograph. I took so many of the baby, I couldn't decide which ones to post. Good luck {H} Family deciding which ones to print! :)

She loved playing with the dandelions


It works so great when I spend some time alone with the little ones.. I am usually able to capture them smiling and looking at me as apposed to smiling and looking off into another direction at their parents.

She made some funny faces at me.


told you I had a hard time choosing which ones to post... there are even more!

This one makes me laugh.. :)


Dad wanted this pic.. I love it!

Working on Labor Day.

I don't mind. It's actually nice because my husband is not so he can entertain my little guy. I should be outside working in the yard as originally planned, but it's still so hot here. This evening though, I'm all over it! Anyways here is sneak peek from the last session I had. This would be my best friend who lives far away from me now and her darling family. <3 them! Her little girl is so shy, she was a bit hard to get to even look at me. I loved this photo because it really shows how shy she is.. and it's cute.



My friend is expecting.. I just loved this shot.

She didn't really like our first location so we decided to go to a park where we could let her play. We tried to take advantage of the fun she had on the slide.


Then we tried to head over to some grass away from the playground to take some shots. She didn't like that. She was crying staring at the playground. Awwww...

Sometimes, kids are just not in the mood for pictures.. and you just have to try to work with them or try again later. Miss you guys!

Contest winner!

This little cutie won the contest I had a while back. She is pretty shy, so it was a little tough to get her to warm up but she did eventually. She is such a cutie and was definitely more comfortable when her mom brought out her horses. Her mom was awesome and got her laughing and having a great time! Meet cute little 'A'.

Parents always like the smiling ones.. I like those too but I also like the moody ones. This one below in black and white, I just LOVE IT! Isn't she a little beauty? I seriously want to print it for my office!

warming up a little..
