1 Week New!
Posted on July 13, 2010
So, I had a session with one of the most wonderful families ever! I have done them previously but hadn’t seen them in almost a year. When I received the phone call that they had been blessed with another baby I was beside myself! I couldn’t wait to meet him. All of these children and to die for gorgeous, so I knew that this one would be following the family genes. Boy oh boy is he delicious! He is a BIG boy too! He didn’t want to stay awake for his session which of course I didn’t expect to get any shots with his eyes open; but to my suprise I did get one with his eyes open! He is just so beautiful and I love LOVE love all of his wrinkles and rolls. I just love the newness and the most fabulous smell that goes along with babies. Here is the sneak peek for new Baby D!
Beat the heat
Posted on June 30, 2010
So, it’s been tough trying to find ways to stay cool this summer! This mama doesn’t do heat. I hate it in fact. I’d rather it be 12 degrees as opposed to it feeling like it’s 150. So, one day I decided we would do water balloons, it’s cheap, it’s cool, and it’s fun. You would have thought I’d given the kids the best gift in the world. I decided I would document the series of events. It was getting close to arsenic hour, which at our house is like clock work. Everyday, never fails someone gets in a snit. There is one in particular who seems to be over taken by arsenic hour more than either of the other ones. All I will say is that she is a middle child, we won’t mention any names. Sweet as chocolate one minute and sour as a lime the next. Brayden is ALL 100% boy through and through. He runs. Runs everywhere all the time. If he is awake, he is running somewhere. Malli usually goes with the flow and has a great time wherever she is, however, she is very VERY opinionated and knows what she wants. So all these personalities together make for some fun times! Kids are like chicken mini’s from Chick Fil A, they are sweet and salty at the same time with just the right amount of soft and squishy and oh so cute and mini! Here are few shots from the afternoon:
This is Brayden, all boy, and that is all there is to say about this picture. (If he were to do this to either of the girls, it would not go over to well)
Here my sweet little princess soaking in the redneck rubbermaid tub.
This is a typical look of mischief and pure delight rolled into one face!
This the little muffin. Cute, opinionated and a little stick of dynamite!
Let the fun begin!
Avery just got pegged with a water balloon, by I’m sure you know who . . . she is ANGRY about it too!
Now it’s turned into, “OH MY! I can’t believe he just did that to me! The nerve! It’s payback now!”
Oh, it’s on! It’s ON!
She tries to run away with the hose. . .
And she goes down. . .
Typical big brother, gotta get his sister good! Get while she’s down, cause if he doesn’t he won’t win! She’s looks like a little powder puff but she’s tough stuff!
Oh, what an evil laugh!
Malli also thought it was hilarious. . . so much like her brother she stinks!
Nothing like drinking out of the hose on a hot summer day! For some reason the water just tastes so good!
Man! I love my kids! They keep me laughing and they are so much fun!. . . .most of the time!
Yeah, so I know. . .

It’s been a long LONG time since my last post! I’m you all forgive me! SO busy, I haven’t even had time to blog any sneak peeks. So here goes a bunch all at once! I have had so much going on lately and so many photo sessions, all very different. One in particular sticks out in my head. Baby M. My oh my as I wipe the drool from my chin. He is just delectable and his hair is to die for! Eyes so very blue and a big sister that is model-liscious. These are some gorgeous kiddos! Take a look!
Time Flies!
Posted on May 12, 2010
How fast time flies! It seems like only a few weeks ago I was doing Baby B’s 3 month pictures; and here he is already 1 year old! I LOVE this family, they are so great at “just being”, well let me say, Mom, Dad and Baby are great at just being and Uncle isn’t bad at it either! However, the grandparents, love them and they make me giggle but- not so great at just being; must be the generation, because my parents are so great at it either. Every single person in this family is beautiful! They are all so very nice to photograph and look at. I love it when I get to do families that are close knit and just all around fun people. Men, when coming to photo sessions just make me laugh. They are such; men! They want to hurry up, they want to be done, pictures to them are not on the highest of high priority list. They would much rather being doing anything than a photo session. I had a wonderful time hanging out at the town square with this family and I look forward to hopefully seeing them again one day! The pictures. . .well, you can decide for yourself. . .
Until next time!
Surrounded by the Spring Silly’s
Posted on May 6, 2010
Well, yes, I am indeed still in the business of capturing those sweetest moments. I have just been recently buried by a whole bunch of silly little spring chickies! I am so WAY WAY behind on posts you will probably see a deluge of posts from me, so brace yourself. I just did spring pictures at my daughters school. What a bunch of silly chickies these kiddos are. My oh my at the stories that I get. I’m sure some of you who are parents of these precious little spring chickies are in an all out cold sweat as you think, oh Lord, what has my child told her and you contemplate asking them. However, don’t worry, I will keep all the little funnies a secret and will not let out your deepest, smelliest, most embarassing secrets; it’s safe with me. ;-) *wink wink* LOL We always have so much fun during the several days that we do the picture sessions at the school. I love it and some of the kids who have been there for a few years and now know me, have really opened up and we are able to play and goof off, and then after the session, they say, “Hey, I thought you were taking my picture!?” I then say, “Oh, I did take your picture I got the pouty faces, the silly faces and all the flavors in between!
I hope you enjoy the sneak peek! (There is going to be a whole bunch!!)
That’s all for now, more to come later tonight!
Three Musketeers
Posted on April 20, 2010
These boy’s are hilarious! They were so funny. All of them so very different from the other, and so funny. Why is it that 5-10 year olds suddenly get pseudo-smilitis? I don’t know. IF I did know, it would make many many photographers very happy. They give this funny square looking smile where their eye’s are not involved in the smile, almost kind-of like when a dog shows you his teeth when getting ready to growl. They just show you their teeth; it’s so funny! One of them wanted nothing to do with taking his shoes and socks off, one was totally fine with it and running around as if he had on shoes, and the other was in between did like it and didn’t refuse it either. The boy’s were full of expression and funny faces, we goofed off a lot, and laughed and giggled. The giggles came later, only after crude and disgusting bodily noises were made and talked about, cheerio’s were being launched out of Dad’s mouth, and anything smelly or gross had been talked about. Mom, on the other hand was not enthused about the talk about farts and stinky underwear, but hey, it’s what makes boy’s tick, what makes them laugh more than anything- so whatever has to be done to get a real belly laugh and giggle, I’m up for it! My philosophy on boy noises(LOL)- farts and burps is that God gave us those crude noises for a reason, and I think it’s so that we’d have something to laugh at, at ourselves and others. It is a boy’s weapon and greatest talent that they are most proud of; no matter the age 2 or 92. Face it. It’s true and I know that some of you reading this blog are thinking to yourselves; OH MY GOODNESS, I can’t believe she is talking, writing about this. Oh my! Well, I’ll bet some of you are laughing! I know those of you with boy’s, whether a son, a brother, a husband, anyone who’s lived with boy’s knows all about it! I had to learn about it once I got married and then my son Brayden came along and then it was “double the fun” or should I say, “double the stink!” Okay, so I’m off of my subject, back to the three musketeers~
Now, I couldn’t even decide which pictures to load as the sneak peek. The older one’s were making faces at each other, helping me out and making each other laugh, and I liked taking picture’s of the silly faces the most! These boy’s were very well behaved and polite and super cute to boot! Thank you so much R Family for a great time at the park! I hope you love and enjoy your pictures!
Until next time!. . .
Amazing Young Lady
Posted on April 18, 2010
I did a senior session last week for one amazing young lady. Where do I begin?. . . Talented- She plays the guitar and is fabulous at it, among other things I’m sure. Beautiful- no need for an explantation of this, you can see this from her pictures. Smart- Already taking college classes. She inspires me even more to homeschool my children. I felt God tugging on me to homeschool my son next year for second grade as he is struggling in school and has some attention issues and has no desire to learn; and it seems as though every corner I turn God puts someone in my path that is homeschooling or home-schooled, and all have been such inspirational people. This senior is interested in missions and I know she would be fabulous at it! Her dog, Emmie, Emmy, not sure how they spell it, but if I was in a position to have a dog or need a dog; I would want that dog. Shoot, I want that dog even though I don’t need a dog nor did I desire the responsibility of a dog but Emmy is just so SO cute and sweet and hypoallergenic and she’s a labrodoodle, not that means anything; I just like the name and I like to say it. It rolls right off the tongue. 
During our session we also had the grand excitement of seeing a snake, rather large in my book, but not poisonous. Okay, I’ll stop rambling and post the pictures! Enjoy!
One more, I had a hard time deciding which ones to post and which not to post. . . so hard to decide!
Yeah, I know I snuck another picture in, but I loved this black and white one!
Oh, those cheeks!
Posted on April 16, 2010
I did pictures of a very very dear friend of mine’s new baby girl the other day. I could eat her little cheeks, she is just beautiful! At 4 weeks old, she was awake for a good bit of the time. She also thought since she was awake, she needed to eat. She thought she needed to eat every 10 minutes. Bless her. She smelled just delicious too; oh how I love that sweet smell of newness! So, as I compare the size difference in a 3 week old baby 2 weeks away from her due date(Two Peas In a Pod post) to a 4 week old who was born very close to her due date. I believe that would make about a 5-6 week difference and WOW how fast they grow! I love all the sweet wrinkles, tiny hands and knuckle dimples, those sweet baby doll lips. Love it! Eat your heart out!
Two peas in a pod
Posted on April 16, 2010
Yeah, I know. . . I am way WAY behind on blogging. Forgive me. I now have many many many sessions to blog about so you will soon see a tidal wave of posts. I can say that I am slightly overwhelmed at the moment, I am blessed though and I know I am fulfilling my calling and my assignment from God. I am doing what I was meant to do. How many people can actually say that?! So how could this not be a passion of mine- take a look at the sheer unabashedly amazingly sweet and precious little miracles I get to hold and snuggle and photograph in all their glory!
I wanted to take them and put them in my pocket and take them home. Yes, they were tiny. The pictures don’t do them justice, such tiny little miracles. They feel like heaven; soft, sweet smelling, radiant and like a little cloud of sweetness! These babies have such a headfull of hair at three weeks old and they are still 2 weeks away from their due date! They didn’t really even open their eyes the whole session but just for a few seconds here and there, not long enough to get a picture of those sparkly eyes! Next time though . . . until then, enjoy the peaceful comfort of the sleeping miracles!
Spring Baby Bunny Sessions
Posted on April 1, 2010
Bunny Sessions. . .aahhh; so so sweet! What blast we had doing these sessions! The bunnies were such troopers and so very patient and sweet letting anyone hold them and snuggle them. There were those who didn’t want anything to do with the bunnies, AT ALL! Then there were those that loved the bunnies oh so much that they wanted to take them home. And then, there was one in particular who wanted to taste the bunny and thought, maybe it was a chocolate bunny. We had such a wonderful time, thanks to the mom’s and dad’s who were on “bunny patrol” and made sure none of the baby bunnies hopped away. I everyone is truly delighted with your pictures, as they are absolutely priceless! I can’t wait to do these again next year!
So here is Baby S: She was not so sure about that little bunny at first as she looked at it, thought about it, and eventually warmed up to the sweet baby bunny. She was delighted to feed him strawberry leaves!
The three A’s: Mmmmmm good, bunny ear!
Sweet Angel’s A and R: A is so SO expressive and was just loving these bunnies. R, well it was close to nap time and she was not so interested and was more interested in having a bottle and then she showed a little bit of interest in the bunnies. A was THRILLED that “her bunny” ate the strawberry leaves that she fed her.
The Three Musketeers: J didn’t want anything to do with my camera, me or the bunnies (sweet baby ended up having pneumonia a day or so later, no wonder he didn’t feel like it! He’s doing great now, and hopefully we can redo this session now that all are feeling better again) E was just interested in eating the bunnies strawberries and she played with me a little bit, but M, was in no mood to play with me or the bunnies. With grandma’s help I was able to capture two of them with one smiling and one eating, not bad considering the circumstances. Ginny- you are my hero!
The Precious H children. This was my first time meeting them, and I was honored to be able to capture some special pictures for this sweet family. They crawled right into my heart! They are just so very sweet and cute too!
