Thanks so much for keeping up with my daily happenings! I will try to post more frequently now that I have a jazzy little blog!

The prettiest eyes!

This little girl has the best eyes!  I loved them in all of her pictures...so perfect!  We decided to use some different fabrics for your session.  We had a great time outside enjoying the weather! Mom and dad were great! I photographed her when she was 3 months old.....oh...how they change~!  Little "E" was adorable!

This pictures is off on color and slightly blurry due to my blogging service. I am in the process of making a new blog! Hopefully I can get it up by the end of this week.  Did I mention how mad this makes me!

Big blue eyes!

I had a great time photographing this family this weekend! We were able to get outside a little bit....in March!  Yeah! I hope the weather sticks around:)  This little boy was a cutie! He smiled and didn't fuss at all!  I have so many great shots of him...it was hard to choose which one to post!  He is the newborn that is at the top of this blog! Look how much he has changed:)

The family picture is my favorite! I love taking pictures of kids with their moms~ It is the best!  When we put them all three together...they went from being tired to being happy.  Great job Mom!  She really worked hard to get these pictures! They travel to have me take their pictures and I am honored!  I loved working with you guys!

Pictures may seem a little pixelated due to my blogging service:( It makes me so mad!

 

 

June Promotion!

I like to do little mini sessions and decided to try one for the spring time.  I will doing a Spring theme mini session on Saturday June 6th. The theme will be centered around a bed outside with white bedding. The kids will be promted to have a pillow fight with feather pillows that wil spray feathers everywhere.  Younger kids don't have to actually have the pillow fight...they can play with the feathers and throw them up in the air.  I have some sample pictures of my idea and will post them tomorrow. 

I have a limited number of slots available so please sign up right away if you are interested.  You can do this by sending me an e-mail.  It will only be for one day! 

It will cost $50.00 per slot. This is a great chance to get your kid's picture taken together or with a friend. It will be a fun set-up!  Your slot includes 15 minutes of photographer time and a digital file of two images. You can print them yourself and make as many copies as you would like:)  This is a one-time deal as I normally don't give away copyrights to my images. If you refer a new client to me, I will give you $5.00 off your package.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing everyone!

Deb's gang!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share this picture. This is a picture of my little girl, Julia, with her group of friends that she gets to play with at Deb's house, the best sitter in the world!~  They all get along so great and look after one another.  The cute handsome man in this picture was such a sport and joined the girls in this picture. They had so much fun! I love it.  It will be nice to look back at this picture when they are all grown up. Anyway, thought I would share!

Again, it is a little pixelated due to my blogging service...sorry:(

This was her idea!

  So, Julia started acting really silly in my room the other day, so, of course, I had to get me camera.  She came into the room wearing this hat, lets not forget that I bought it a long time ago and she would have nothing to do with it.  Now, she wouldn't take it off.  She was playing around on the dog's pillow and well, I just started snapping away!  I love it when she is like this, totally innocent and full of energy:)

Now, when you look at these pictures, you are probably thinking...that poor Beagle.  This is an everyday occurence at my house. Julia loves to ride horses and well...she thinks that dogs are to be ridden too:) How else is a cowgirl going to get her practice:) She will be riding a little pony this summer named Thumbelina( I can't wait for that photoshoot), so meanwhile she uses our dog for training:)LOL  I only let her ride the dog when she is laying on the pillow, so our little Betsy the Beagle doesn't get hurt....

Here is a silly time that I was so happy capture.

Pictures may seem a little pixelated...this is due to my blogging service.....

 

 

 

 

A little family vacation

I thought I would share a few photos from a trip we took to Kansas! We went over Valentine's Day Weekend! We had so much fun!  It was so relaxing and it was so great to see Julia play with her two cousins.  She had so so much fun!  We did some shopping, ate a lot and even went to a dance.  Here are a few pictures of the girls!

 

There were lots of hugs and kisses given over the weekend.  SO SWEET! 

 

Look at her hair!

This little girl was so precious. Her head of hair was so curly and just so beautiful!  Even though she didn't really want to do what mom wanted we were sure able to get some great pictures of her.  What a doll!  Thanks for the great time! It was wonderful to catch up with you "C"!

 

I love getting back outside, especially with these little ones!

It is so nice to get outside the last couple of days.  I have had some great planning and even called a few clients to reschedule for today because it is gorgeous today. I want them all to be able to take advantage of the great weather and get some great pictures.

This little guy had  his pictures taken this morning. He was so good!  His mom is a dear friend and I just love them so much!  Here is little D given me some love.......such a sweet little guy....

 

And this little girl is a really good friend of my daughter's.  My daughter is always so excited to go do D's house and see little K.  Her mom is so great! I have been photographing K since birth! She was actually one of my first clients:) Here is a little sneak peek!
