Alexis...

Alexis had the perfect day for pictures... no sun, no wind, and it wasn't real hot! We traveled around to a few different places and ended up finding some really cool locations! We did run across some grumpy people and then we almost got attacked by bees but other than those little instances everything went GREAT! I went a little nuts with her because I loved the new spots we found... I think she was getting a little sick of me at the end! :) Here are a few of my favorite shots of Alexis... ENJOY! :)

Thanks Alexis for choosing me for your photographer! I had fun getting to know you... I will forever think of you when I see a bee! ;) Have a great Senior year!

Dalton... again!

Dalton's first session was a little rushed so we decided to try for another day, which really excited him! Ha! :) I got the feeling Dalton was hoping we would be done but mom and I won the vote for doing more farm pictures. I am so glad we decided to make him suffer through a few more because I think the rustic look suites him much better! Here are a few of my favorite shots of Dalton... ENJOY! :)











Thanks Dalton for making me a laugh! ;) I know you weren't too excited about taking more pictures but I am so glad you cooperated!

Carter and Alyssa...

So... probably not that many of you care but I just have to share my story about this memorable picture day! First off, before I left my house, I managed to drop my cell phone in the toilet... yes the toilet! Next, I had to battle with my screaming 3 year old because he didn't want to stay with the baby-sitter, that of course made me late to my session. Finally, I arrived at the session and the whole family looked really cute... so that was good! We decided to travel to this abandoned barn which we thought was going to be a great picture place, well it turned out the wind was blowing 500 MPH so that wasn't going to work too good with long hair. We decided to snap a few shots and before I even took the first picture I stepped back on a rusty nail and of course it went through my shoe and into my foot! Nice huh?! At that point I was thinking maybe this wasn't going to be a good day! Fortunately the kids were doing great and we ended up finding a place with no wind... things were looking better! I snapped like crazy and managed to get some really fun shots. The session ended, the kids did awesome and I was thinking things were going to turn around for me... WRONG! After going to the doctor to get my tetanus shot I had to make the wonderful weekly Wal-Mart run to get groceries... YUK! The kids were terrible (no naps) but we managed to make it through the store without too many issues. We got to the check out station and I was thinking... ThaNk GOD, I am almost outta here! Well, once all the groceries were in bags and loaded in my cart I went to pay the nice lady and my credit card was gone... could it get any worse?? Yes, because I went to call my husband to come pay for my heaping cart of groceries and realized I had NO PHONE! Ahhhhhh! Well, after a little panicking I remembered I had just went to the bank and had some cash in my car... not really what I wanted to spend my cash on but it worked! I must say this was probably one of the worst days ever but luckily the pictures turned out GREAT... something had to go right!! Carter and Aly have grown up so much in the last year! Carter was such a shy guy last time and this time he was a major goof... which was good because I needed a laugh! Here are a few of my favorite shots of Carter and Alyssa... ENJOY!

Thanks Brian, Michelle, Alyssa, and Carter for giving me something good to remember about this day! ;) You guys are so much fun to work with! I look forward to seeing all of you again! :)

Just because...

Brooklyn came to see me with her cousin Kelan and I couldn't help myself... I had to snap a few pictures of her! I just can't resist her! I always have fun photographing Brooklyn because she is such a riot! Her little personality is sooooo strong as you can probably tell by all of her pictures! She is definitely a cutie... and she knows it! Anyway, here are a few shots of Brooklyn just because I love her... ENJOY! :)

Wouldn't these be adorable in a bathroom??!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture....

Thanks Emily, Brittany, and Grandma Brenda for bringing the kids to see me! I always have a blast doing photos for you! Good luck with the proofs! ;)

Kelan is ONE!

I am so excited about Kelan's pictures! This little man changes so much every time I see him... he looks totally different every 6 months! Kelan was one of the most challenging newborns I have ever photographed but I must say he was one of the easiest one-year-olds! He was soooo laid back during the whole session... never got upset, never got too excited, I think he was pretty content watching all of us weirdos jump around! :) Kelan gave me some of the most adorable faces... his mom is going to go nuts!! Here are a few of my favorite shots of the little man Kelan... ENJOY! ;)

Thanks Brittany for bringing Kelan to see me again! I'm so glad we were able to do outside shots... I think you are going to love how they turned out! ;)

Brody and Kylie...

It was time for my yearly photo shoot with my niece and nephew so I tried to think of something we hadn't done before... which was difficult because I tend to go nuts with them! :) We decided we would try some natural light shots on black and I LOVE how they turned out!!! I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what I do with these kids they always look good.. they are just "pretty" kids! Here are a few of my favorite shots of Brody and Kylie... ENJOY! :)

Thanks Kylie and Brody for being so cute! I love photographing both of you!!!! It was so good to see you and your family.... I wish you guys lived closer!

I'm in love...

I'm so in love with Miss Rylee!! I think this little girl looks like she might belong to Brad and Angelina... blonde hair, blue eyes, PERFECT lips! Whew... she is cute!!!! I am always honored... and nervous, when other photographers want me to photograph their children. As a photographer and a mom I completely understand how hard it is to photograph your own children! I feel that kids always respond better to different people because they get so used to seeing you! I knew Rylee would be used to the camera since her mom is also a photographer but she did awesome. Here are a few of my favorite pics of Miss Rylee... ENJOY! :)

Thanks Rick and Leslie for bringing Rylee to see me! She is such a doll!!

Dalton...

I have known Dalton my whole life. In fact, when I was a little girl I used to name my dolls Dalton because I was so fascinated with him! When his mom contacted me to set up an appointment I couldn't believe that adorable curly haired little boy was already a SENIOR??!!!! Time just goes toooooo fast! My session with Dalton and his family was awesome... I wish we would have had a little more daylight but I think Dalton was getting sick of posing so he was glad to see the sun go down! ;) Here are a few of my favorite shots of Dalton... all grown up! ENJOY! :)

Thanks Dalton for choosing me to capture your senior pictures! I had a blast hanging out with you and your family! I wish you the best this year... have fun because it will go fast! :)
