Introducing Gemma Grace!

Born on October 30th.
8 lbs 10 oz, 20" long.

Had enough energy for a couple today, hopefully I will capture a couple later this week! She is such a joy and blessing, we thank God for our "gem from heaven"!

Last session!

What a great family, I love them! I am enjoying so many of these pictures, I am very glad we were able to have it work out before it got too cold and before my little one comes! Thank you for your patience in getting these, I hope you like them as much as I do!

Oops, I forgot this one!

wheat fields are the best!!

This one will probably go on the wall



These will not be going on the wall, she always gives the goofiest faces, however, I will still get copies made. This is just her, I love the back shot because I love her hair this way!! She is a very smiley girl, it is just almost impossible to capture that in pictures!

Happy Birthday to my second oldest!!

Full of fun and laughter and a whole lot of sass, she is our shining star. You always know when she is in a room, she brings so much life! Happy Birthday B, you are such a great girl! We love you!!

Adventures...

that is what we went on during this photo shoot, I'm not sure who had more fun, me or the children. I truly enjoyed taking a walk in the park with these two adorable children, the evening was beautiful with great weather and even better light! Thank you for the time you two, I would love to go on another adventure some day!!

My baby is twelve

or at least she will be next week. Where has the time gone? I love this girl, she is one of a kind! A deep and sensitive girl with a lot of insight. Some of my happiest memories are of her and I taking sometimes up to 3 walks a day, what a life!! I have enjoyed watching her grow so much! Happy Birthday J, I love you!!

The first day of FAll

Can you believe it? Things are wrapping up around here as we get ready for our newest arrival, we are all so very excited!! I am not taking on any more sessions this fall. I thank all of you that allowed me to capture your moments, I really met some wonderful people! Just a few that I captured of my now youngest enjoying what she does best, playing mother!

Can you feel the love?!!

What a great family! One of my first clients ever came back for a family shoot and I am so glad they did!! They did a great job and I believe you can see the love this family has for each other through the pictures. Family pictures are some of my favorite sessions for this reason, I always end up smiling while finishing up the pictures. Hope you enjoy!!

Simply Beautiful....

That is what she is.... simply beautiful! She was probably the easiest, calmest baby I have ever had. I fell in love with her... It is obvious she comes from a very loving family and they have been very blessed with this new life. Congratulations to your family again, I cannot wait to watch this little girl grow!

A perfect 300!

That's what this young man can get in a game of bowling! I am in awe since I am the worst bowler, I even get sore from one game! I had a great time with this young man and his hip mom who owns a small cake business, I admire people who follow their passions so much! This pair fit into that category, they knew what they enjoyed and are following it! I know the future holds great things for this young man! Thank you for the privelege of being able to capture your senior pictures!

Second try is a charm!

This little sweetheart was not ready for her photoshoot the first day and so her mother wisely rescheduled. I am so glad we did, she was perfect for her first photo shoot!! I think she even enjoyed it, because I have at least four pictures with a big smile on her face!

This senior is the third girl from this family that I have photographed! I love this family, very fun, but very down to earth. This girl comes from a family of 9! Eight girls and 1 lone boy :) If you ever wanted to see a family that has done a whole lot right, they are the ones to watch! I hope you enjoy your sneek peek, I had so much fun with you! I know you will go far girl!

What a doll!!

I had so much fun with this mom and her little babe, isn't she sweet? She gave me a whole range of expressions! Here are a couple for Mom and Dad to see, one from happy to contemplative!

My children's photo shoot

Do you know that the pictures on the wall of my own children are almost two years old? It was high time to get some pictures of my children to put on the wall! I will post a number of them here, I am trying to decide which ones will go on the walls.

One at a time

That is all I have time for, but again, we had such a good time. My little girl was such a trooper sitting here in the rain so we could capture her with the rainbow. I have always wanted a real rainbow in one of my pictures and this was perfect. She cannot wait to put a copy in her room!

A trip to the beach...

I will post more later, we had SO much fun!

oldies but goodies

For a little diversion, I pulled these out from this spring. I did not have a good chance to work on them yet. Some of my youngest and most willing subject!
