Sweet Anniston.....

Sweet little Anniston.....she is simply perfect...

Our first session was rescheduled and Mama

and I were a little worried because she was

two weeks old and starting to stretch and stay

awake for longer periods of time....but she

did just as I asked.....I had so much fun &

we got so many shots....just look at

this precious little girl.....

Anniston's Grandma made this afghan and believe

it or not, she calls it her *junk* afghan! I fell in

love with it and it was so comfy......

Anniston's Mama brought her Great-Grandmother's

beautiful broach(sp?)...... Such an awesome detail!

This is definitely a fav.......so sweet!!!

Such a Doll-Baby!

Earlier this summer, I had the pleasure of meeting

Miss Anna and her cousins, their Mama's and

their Grammie. A few weeks later, I found out

that my youngest, Kendall's first teacher was

going to be Grammie!!! After seeing her

interact with her grand-babies, I knew she

would be perfect for my Kendall & she is!

Well, Miss Anna had a birthday since I saw

her last, so they traveled back to have some

pics taken(3 1/2hr drive!).....Ok, well, they

did get to go to an ND game and visit family

while they were here too, but I felt special anyway :)

*

This time, Anna brought some new friends along....

She was a little camera shy at first, so we played

peek-a-boo....Isn't she such a doll-baby??

She brought her friend Jo-Jo.....

her Mama and Daddy.....

and she brought "Grammie and Grampie"



Yay!!! So much fun!!!

Awesome smiles!

Mama's always make it better.....

Gorgeous......

Brittanie is a Senior rep for me and this was

session 2...... I have to say that there are soo

many gorgeous images from this session, it

was very hard for me to choose which to post!

*

I often get asked about the locations that I use....

To be honest, I usually do not decide until the client

arrives.....you see, I am a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants

kinda girl. I like to see what outfits they bring & then

I can visualize the image I want to create.

I am also very observant and will pull-over in

mid-conversation if something strikes me.....maybe

it's ADHD, maybe not. :) Brittanie & I had quite an

adventure getting to some of these spots! We had

so much fun again though!

*

The bottom line is......I LOVE when my clients

let my vision direct the session....because we end up

with images like these......

I told her this was ridiculous......ridiculously beautiful!

Whenever I show my clients how to pose, I literally get into

the position I want them in....often times why I like to wear

*knit* pants when I am shooting. (I swear I should be skinnier,

it's like aerobics!) Anyway, I always tell them to look way

cuter than I do in my *knits,* Brittanie listens.....

It was windier than you know what that day,

but we took advantage.....

This was our first shot and Brittanie's hair

was standing on END! The wind was so

strong, we had to take a break in my

friend, Don's, office and peek out just at

the right time!!!

Wind is calmer now......whew!!

Brittanie thought I was NUTS when I had her

balance herself on this branch.....little did she

realize there were crocodiles underneath!!!

(totally kidding Gail!)

Beautiful......

From client to friend....

This is the third time I have photographed this family.

I am so happy that they have become more than a

client to me, but friends. Little Audrey laughs at

my stories about my little dog drinking coffee or

riding a bike....and Mom and I share the LOVE for

coffee!!! Jen & Kevin, thanks so much for choosing

me for your photographer, again. xoxoxoxo!

LOVE this!!!

Meet Riley: NHS 2011 Senior

Riley was a pleasure to photograph

and full of smiles. He has been shopping

around for colleges and is hoping to

be a elementary school teacher some day.

Riley, despite this crazy hot October

weather, you were such a trooper.

I had a good time getting to know

you and Mom.....and drilling you

about Taylor......hahahaha! Taylor,

I'm totally kidding......sort of, call me!

Seriously, kidding! hahahahaha!

Riley, take a look at your awesome pics!

Meet Sweet Hayden.....

Hayden was 11 days old when we took his pics....

Such a sweet, sweet baby boy....

I could have held him for hours....he liked me too....

he tried to stay awake, but couldn't resist.....

Announcing...Mr. & Mrs. Newman!!!

Aron & Andrea had such a beautiful wedding on Saturday!

They are a gorgeous couple and their love is such an

inspiration. They decided to have a *reveal* prior to

the ceremony so that they could spend a very

intimate moment with eachother and ease some of

their nerves. It was so awesome to be a part of their

special day! Andrea was beautiful, Aron was handsome

and the two of them were PERFECT!!
