This is {G}... in her beautiful, princess-esque, Baptism dress. I've never done pictures for a BAPTISM before...I loved it. This pretty girl was SO much fun to pose and play with...

such a TREAT for ME!

For some reason, I love the strange light shining through these gnarly tree branches in this next one...

Ok... ready for my FAVORITE?? Here it is...

You are such a sweet-heart, {G}!

America's Next Kid Model...

I was asked by my husband's cousin (and MY good friend, I might add!) to take pictures of her beautiful little girl. This cutie is trying to start a MODELING career and they need pics for her portfolio! (no pressure, Al!) Here are a few of my favorites...

Work it, GIRL! and good luck to you.

Rub a Dub Dub!

Bathtub pictures MIGHT be my favorite pictures! NOT ONLY are these 2 kids DARLING and flipping funny...they are my nephews, so I get to take pictures of them ALMOST anytime I want. I had so much FUN and I think they were having fun, too. Check these out...

I'm so glad I have a sister nearby, so I can play with her and her kids from time to time!

Love ya, Jen!

Generation Pics...

A few weeks ago, I had the rare... BUT SPECIAL... task of photographing 4 beautiful ladies. I'm sure there's a name for this type of picture... GENERATION PICTURE, maybe? I like the sound of that... let's call it that. It was a shoot of a MOTHER, her DAUGHTER, her GRAND-DAUGHTER, and her GREAT-GRAND-DAUGHTER... a Generation Picture. Well, I'm going to be honest... we did a few posed pictures infront of a fireplace and I thought I'd be able to PHOTOSHOP the gigantic TV out. I'm pretty good at PhotoShop, but I can't work miracles, I guess. Anyway, I've scheduled a re-take for the POSED pictures. (I was pretty embarassed about that... but I figured I would have been MORE embarassed if I had handed them crappy looking pictures! SO, I swallowed my pride and you'll see their re-takes next month.)

HERE is the FUN part of the photoshoot... the part that I'm pretty excited about. I took pictures of them making SUGAR COOKIES!! Here are a few of my faves...

I can honestly say that I know these cookies were made with LOVE!

Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

2009...

Thanks to friends and family and clients for a WONDERFUL year!

The Watts...

Thank goodness my sister-in-law-in-law, Wende, broke her camera or I would never had met the Watt family.

This next one is my FAVORITE...

Such a doll!

Thanks, Watt Family!

Blackners kids...

The Blackners are the cutest, smallest, most red-headed people I know...

and they're lots of fun to snap pictures of!I love doing pics for CHRISTMAS because it's pretty much play time for everyone involved. I've always wanted to do this (see below) and FINALLY I was able to.... see you've got to have 3 kids to make it work... (for obvious reasons.) AND a husband that works with WOOD for a living. (thanks, honey!)
These kids were such good sports... just going along with all my crazy ideas.

Thank you, Blackners!
