Gorgeousness

Is that a word? Well I would love to use it to describe my little girl, Karah. I know this is a total moment of bragging. I am not sure if I am bragging that she is so cute, that I took such a cute picture, or that I am finally posting a picture of one of my children. I have noticed that I don't take their pictures very much, and if I do, Karah is the first to scowl at me, like I am the paparrazi. But thanks to my sister Bonnie and her funny faces, she was able to get some smiles out of my little diva. And just to humble myself, and ruin the picture for you, she pooped green poop on the hardwood floors today and Jake took a picture of that...should I share? Ahhh, goodnight!

P.S. All my families who are waiting, I am proofing away tonight and will have a post on the blog within a day or two. Thanks for your patience during this busy time of year!

Christmas Cards

Okay, so I am wrapping up my Christmas Portrait Sessions and it has been tons of fun. For those who still need to pick a Christmas Card Design, here are some samples.

Remember, I can customize text and color to match your cards. Happy Holidays!

Beautiful Boys

This photo shoot was one of my favorites. Mom and Dad are very good looking and these beautiful boys were a delight. The littlest guy has curly long blonde hair just like my Nate did when he was younger. I can't get enough of it. And big brother was throwin' poses at me left and right, a natural for sure. I am sure Dad, as most are, wasn't thrilled about spending nearly two hours with me photographing him and his family, but he was a trooper. And because of it, I was able to get some really sweet moments with him and his family!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My first Senior Session...

Okay, whoops...as I think about it now, I might have forgotten to mention that minor detail to him. But that is right...I have done Maternity, Newborn, Weddings, Families, Child, Engagement, but this was my first Senior Session. So I think I am going to post way to many pictures, but oh well. Tell me what you think?

Okay this next one is probably only funny to me, because he got a phone call during the session and it just seemed to so appropriate to me. I guess that is because we didn't have cell phones when I was in high school....wow, that makes me feel ancient!

So if you know any high school seniors looking for a photographer...well, you know, I am shameless!

Jingle Bell Rock

Well we have Thanksgiving right around the corner and I can already hear the Jingle Bell Rock in my head. I usually am overwhelmed by this point with all the things to do in preparation for the holidays. But this year has been special for me. Taking time out of my daily life to spend time with and photograph some of my favorite families, has been a blessing. It reminds me of what is important in life and I am truly enjoying it.

This family is no exception. This is my sister-in-law, a wonderful mother, and her sweet family. A special thanks to Miss K for her perfect modeling poses!

Love you guys!!!

chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga-CHOO-CHOO!

It is so fun to explore new places as a photographer... to find the beauty in a variety of things. I fell in love with the vibrant colors, the paint peeling, the rust that says, "this is old and loved". Okay, so I am not a poet but what I am trying to say is I loved this session with the trains! What makes it even better is that this famiily is fond of trains so we really did have a good time!
