Family session with a maternity shoot mixed in...

Holly and her family came into the studio for some shots and then we took a trek to Lake Red Rock which is her husband's favorite place to be in the summer. It was a great time and the kids were adorable. Congratulations on your soon to be little one, Holly and Waylon!  This blog post has a lot of images in it because there was a lot of variety :)

The whole family..

 cute belly shot :)

Adorable attitude shot :)

 So sweet !

 I chased this poor little guy all over and even held a few of his rocks hostage until he let me have one good shot of his eyelashes. Holy cow-they were to die for!  Don't worry, he was fine after I got my shot. ha ha, bribery goes a long way!

Thanks guys for coming in, I really appreciate it!

Playing Catch-Up

I'm playing blog catch up right now. I am so sorry for the delay in getting new images to the blog and Facebook! 

Jessica brought her kids in to the studio to do pictures and we decided to go uptown to shoot in the alleys in town. I love the alleys, they are full of color and texture and fun stuff for kids.!  Her kids were adorable and they behaved so well!

Destiny has been in also with her two little boys. They were so much fun! 

Mary Catherine and her family were in recently too. I have taken pictures of her son William since he was a newborn, so I was super excited to photograph her while she is expecting the newest addition to their family. I got to see the whole family and update their family picture while they were here.  I love this family!

 This one is a perspective shot- When he is older, it will be hard to believe he was ever this small!

 Love this one, he is so cute!

 She is so pretty here!

Goodman Kids

If you follow the blog, you've seen this family before. I did Mom's maternity session when she was pregnant with Ally, and Ally's newborn session, a Couch in the Leaves session last fall, they had some United Way images as well.  I just love this family!

This time I got some serious personality from the kids :)

Hayden

Meet Hayden,
I met his mom through the United Way shoot when she came in with her friends from work. What a cool family they are! Mr. Hayden was super smiley and just an awesome kid in the studio. So here are some sneak peeks for 'ya :)

Caroline

Caroline's mom brought her in for one year pictures. She was suuuuuuch a ham and was a dream to photograph. She was just an angel!


 What a beautiful rocking chair they brought in. I just love that she is sucking her fingers on this one :)

 Look at her little sandles!

Averie

Little Averie came in to see me at the studio this weekend, I have photographed her and her family before, but never got much of a smile from her because it takes her a little while to warm up to me. However, this time--we got smiles! I was so excited to upload my card and see what I got this time! Boy was I suprised, she did awesome and I was able to capture a lot of her personality--I am so excited!

my favorite!


I am finally getting to use this backdrop I bought forever ago. :)


She is trying to escape and has her eyes on her escape route ! LOL.

Dayton

Today I did Dayton's pictures, he is so cute! I just love his curls, but I hear they may be being cut soon. I'm sure he'll look adorable with short hair too. :) It was a beautiful day out today, Dayton loved Lake Keomah, he ran around the area we chose and just explored and played. I followed him around and got some great pictures of him. He is such a charactor, definitely strong willed :)

this picture cracks me up !!!!!



lookie what I got!

Kool kids

Let me first start out by saying, I'm a very bad blogger right now, this session is pretty late on being blogged and I'm super sorry about that! But these kids are awesome and we got some really great images, and here is a sneak peek of them.

The kids were awesome, you can really see their personalities come out!



ha ha.. a funny candid :)










Thanks guys for coming out in what felt like 900 degree heat for this shoot. :) Your gallery will be posting very shortly!

Summer days....

Today my kids and some neighbor kids wanted to have a water fight, so I let them have a hose fight in the backyard. There were 2 rules: Don't get me wet, and when I say "switch" I mean switch and give the hose to someone else. They had a blast soaking each other for several hours straight. It was so much fun. I took a bazillian pictures (668 to be exact) , so here are a few fun ones.


The girls getting their tan on.
LOL! Paybacks for all the tormenting!



Payback!


haha! GoTchA!
