A little fun.....

I thought I would try something cool. Isn't this awesome?


Cute x 2!

These little brothers were so adorable!
Funny thing is, Mom said they do not get along,
like most of us would assume!
Maybe she has some pro wrestlers on her hands? :)
Thanks for stopping by "M," the boys are adorable!

Happy 80th!

I was honored to come & take photos of this family, as it was
Grandma's 80th birthday! Lucky for me, she was full of spunk and
ready for our session! They were all wonderful to work with and
we had a lot of fun! Thanks for including me!




















Relax....have FUN!

Ok, so being a Mom of four myself, I can understand the work
that goes into a photo session. Shopping for the perfect
coordinating clothes, scheduling the session around naps and all
of the obstacles of everyday LIFE. This particular family is one of
my favs....Mom is my best friend of 25 l-o-o-o-o-ng years.....
I mean beautiful, yeah, that' right...hehehe. Anywhoo- seeing that
she is my best friend, I can tell you this. When we started the
session....she was doing what a lot of Mom's do, FREAKING OUT....
because she has envisioned the perfect beach shot with her
family...hands folded in their laps, everyone smiling with
sparkly white teeth, clothes ironed....you know what
I am talking about. Well, I am just not that way....at ALL.
And, I always try to capture your life AS IS.
So, if your kid is throwing a fit during our session and you are
sweating bullets, I want to capture that! Because this IS your life
right now, right? Why not capture it AS IS? Well, the kid's were not
throwing fits by any means, but Mom was not happy that they
were attracted to the big blue lake that she brought them to.....
they wanted to play in it, splash in it and have FUN!
I am with you girls! *wink* After convincing Mom to
RELAX and have FUN....we were able to get these images....
now don't you think theses are better than some cheesy pose?
Work with me here woman, I know what I am talkin' about.
























Pure Sweetness.....

Baby "S" was just 6 days old when I had the pleasure of meeting
her....OMGoodness.....such a precious little girl. I have a feeling
she already has Mom & Dad wrapped around her little finger...

I Just LOVE these kids!

Tonight, I met up with some of my favorite clients!
We took a stroll down by the river and had a good time
getting some great shots for Grandma! The best part is,
they like to have their photos taken! All the better for me!







"J," seriously....... You need to consider putting "H" into modeling.

She looks like a porcelain doll.......
