Family...

Ahhh, check out this great family. We drove out to Lake Keomah for their pictures and  found a really pretty place for pictures. They were so awesome and lots of fun! I'm so happy I got to photograph them and I look forward to photographing them in the future.

 I love this one :)

 ha ha, she wanted NOTHING to do with the camera, but we did get her to peek out from behind her parents a few times. Super cute!

Kevin

Kevin is a senior at Chariton High School. Kevin and his mom and dad came down and we hit some great places for pictures. We scheduled pictures after school so we'd get the best light, but boy did it get cold fast. Kevin was a trooper though and we got some great stuff! We hit Lake Keomah for the pretty fall color and we also hit some alleys uptown. I love all the textures and colors we found.


Love me some grainy black and whites.









Thanks guys for coming up here for pictures. It was great to see you again ! :)

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!

Winegar Family

Last year, Penni won a contest on our Forever Photography facebook page and received a free session. They finally decided to use it this last weekend over the holiday weekend and it was perfect weather to do a session!!! What a great family they are, for such a large family, all of the kids were well behaved and so organized. It was awesome !

Check out what we came up with :)

My favorite.. :)







Horseplay.. ha ha.. :)



Based on her smile, she had no idea what he was doing behind her--ha ha..

Smith Family

Look at these beautiful fall colors!! Keomah park is absolutely beautiful right now, I have the feeling these leaves won't last long with the weather changing so fast. This week we're supposed to have high winds and a cold snap. I'm glad we got this session in while we could. :)

Thanks so much Smith family for putting up with me, I hope you enjoy these!!

Jacob

Meet Jacob, he's the son of a friend I went to college with and he's a senior at Eddyville-Blakesburg High School. It was so great to hear from his mom again and also to meet her family. We went to Lake Keomah and did some pictures today since the leaves are absolutely gorgeous! We are definitely at peak time!

Take a look see....

Shilling family shoot

Loyal followers of the blog have seen these girls before, I took their pictures a few months back. This time they came back to get a family picture. We went to Keomah so we could get some fall color. These girls were complete angels for their session!

What a beautiful family you have, Troy and LaCinda!





Okay girls, put your arms around your mommy's neck but don't squeeze her too hard.. LOL!



Peek-a-boo!

Williams Family

I had the opportunity to take my cousin and his family's pictures this weekend. I took Tanner's senior pictures last summer, they drove down all the way from Tama both times, they are awesome! We had a lot of fun, as you can see!







How is it, I'd missed this awesome tree?

Hillary & Gary and Family...

I know it's past peak fall colors time but I think it's still pretty at Keomah, today was absolutely gorgeous, actually almost hot when you're out running around (I feel guilty saying that, ha ha!) I got some great shots of Hillary, who I work with at the hospital and her great family and even some with her dog, Hawkeye, who actually looked at the camera for a few pictures, he was very well behaved!



ahhhh :)


I love the lighting in this shot. It's perfect.






Okay.. this was a special request, I told him he'd get a silly one on the blog. :)


Now he's being serious!

Ashley and Tom

Ashley and Tom are one of my wedding couples this year, they are getting married in December, so you'll see more of them very soon. They are a great couple and very relaxed in front of the camera. I had a lot of fun with them today at Lake Keomah in the massive windstorm we had today. Ashley was a trooper even though her heels were sinking into the mud and leaves were sticking to the bottom of her shoes. I can already tell it's going to be a great wedding!

Thanks guys!

Sunflair, I have missed you during the cloudy days!! :)
