Hello world!
It has been far too long since I have connected on here. We have had a whirlwind of a life these last few months.
Last month, my father-in-law passed away of cancer. He had been unwell for many years already, so we took the time to go to Texas and spend most of December and some of January there with them. It was a rough time for all of the family, so I appreciate all the support and prayers that came our way, as well as the patience my clients have had with me! One never truly knows until they have been there, so thank you all.
But we have been back for a week now, and I am diving right back into work! I decided to stay with my last years price list, so for those that had sessions last year, you'll know and those that are booking this year, I can email it to you!
I have quite a few sessions that I did not get around to posting , so those will be coming here and there.
But those sneak peeks will have to wait! (my computer is being silly and not wanting to upload.)
I will try again tomorrow!

Ok so I'm back, full of perogies and farmer sausage and ready to post some more pictures!So I had the chance to shoot for alot of family in this last little while and I always have such a great time doing that!
There was both my nephew and my niece that I did on the same day. Aren't they soooo adorable?? I love them both so much, I just wish I spent even more time with them!


And speaking of family, ours is just about to get 6 ft bigger! Congratulations Susie and Will, so happy to have you in our family! The wedding is set for sometime in March, can't wait!

Here is a newborn, just days old. Sweet little J...... I would love to have just stuck her in my bag and snuck off home with her! What a princess.

And we finally took the opportunity to take some family pictures of us! It was about time. The tripod set up was a little hard to do this year, because we have our "lil" pup to consider, and getting a 3 year old to smile into basically nothing is harder then it seems! But all in all, they turned out ok!

And here's just a few from the last little while, giving you a sneak peek into my life! I've got another few that I'm waiting on an ok to post, but hopefully those will be coming up in the next few days as well!

Thanks for your patience, and please check back soon!

I'm not very good at keeping up by blog, am I? : ( I'm sorry, but now that the little Christmas picture rush is done, I will be on here more often!
First, some of you may know this, but Tamikka donated her hair! We had talked about it for a while, and she was a little unsure, thinking that if she gave her hair away, then she wouldn't have any left, but one day she overheard me saying to a friend on the phone that it would be going to Angel Hair Organization, and hearing that , she had been SUPER excited! See, she connected that to her sister, Angel, in Heaven. And Angels 5th birthday would have been October 24, so what better way to celebrate then to send her her hair! So we went in bright and early Saturday morning and off it went! She made sure she told the hairdresser that it had to be mailed to her sister, and she sat so nicely throughout the whole process, I was so proud of her! No tears! (well, from her. I couldn't help it.) It was alot harder for me then it was for her I'm sure! So here are a few pics I took of the process. I love you soooooo much baby girl, and I am prouder then punch! Isn't the new cut just absolutely darling???

(Oh and for those of you that think she did a fabulous job, it was Amy, from Studio 500. She's amazing!) But I could go on and on and on forever about my princess, so I will just stop here for today, and on to others!

Here are a few shots from some of the weddings I did this past month. All fantastic couples! It was dreary and wet on each one of there days, but by the love in their eyes, and their sheer happiness on their day, you would have never known we all had 2 inches of mud stuck to our feet! Enjoy!

I also had a chance to hang out with some of my very favorite people in the world over Thanksgiving! We took some time out of chick-flicks and eating junk food to enjoy the gorgeous day we had and I got some awesome shots from some pretty awesome people! Love you gals!

And here is a shoot that I really like to look back on. This lovely couple came to me to make sure that they got some shots of where there love had gotten them! They were expecting their baby within a month and half (roughly) when we got together and boy were we ever lucky! It was only days later that their little sweetheart made her appearance! I guess she was just too cramped and anxious to meet the 2 people that were just as anxious to meet her!
I also recently shot my sister and her great group of girls in a fun, grungy style! They were up for anything, and all of them have so much personality and spark. I had TONS of fun with them, and overall it was a great evening with tons of laughs!

well I have to go make lunch now for me and little one, but I'll be back on this afternoon, with a few more shoots!!! Check back!!!

Hello all!
I really let time fly by! Sorry, about that! But here I am ready to update!
So lets see, what have I all been up to lately? Why don't you take a look! This first post is of a lovely couple who I shot on there wedding day, rather short notice. I think I booked it about 7 days before hand? Ha ha but all in all, it went great!
I also did a sweet little family of 3! You can see how little W absolutely dotes on his daddy! Complete adoration. And we had such a gorgeous day for it as well.
The next wedding was a bit blustery and raining, but the whole party were such great sports and we still got a ton of great shots! Congrats J and K! Both of who looked especially dashing I must say. ; )
I think they are still on their honeymoon, but as soon as I hear back from them that they have seen the sneak peek, then I'll post those for you to see as well!
I have a few more shoots to post, but I will save that for later, as I still have tons of editing to do! so please keep checking back!!!

Ahhhhh the last day of the week. The day to relax, put up your feet with a cold drink in your hand.
HA. I wish!! I've got such a full day today, I just might go crazy. First, I've got my house to clean, it's upside down and sideways! I don't know how it happens, I swear I just cleaned it all a few days ago, and yet.........And then at one I'm doin a few headshots for a friend of mine who's needing BUSINESS cards. Yay J! I'm so proud of you for making it this far!! I hope these business cards will help expand your business so that one day you can be the one turning people away because your so busy!! And to everyone else out there, if your buying or selling a house, I know the best person to go to!! Maybe I'll have a sneak peek up later tonight! ; )
After that, I'll be heading out to shoot the cutest family ever. I hope the day stays nice! I have so many ideas for them!
When that is done I have 2 appointments with clients, 2 drop off orders and maybe dropping off 2 tutu's! Yikes.
So yes, today is busy busy busy. But what is life without busy?
I love every minute of it and I wouldn't trade my busy day for just any lazy one.
So I should get started. I'll just leave you with a few of the sessions I've done lately.
; )

toodles!! xoxoxoxo

So I was going to post more pics of Mikka, and then the day just flew by me! We ended up moving my hun's stuff out of the office, he now uses the ugly unfinished basement as his toy room and I now have my very own office! Yay! Thank you sweetie, I love love love you! And he even left his desk in here. What a babe.
So here is and update on my Sweet Pea. She is 3, sassy, adorable, too much attitude and the mind of a 16 year old. Enjoy!

Wow this past week has been a little of the best and worst weather! That is MB for you!
But even with the storms and the extreme heat I managed to fit in a few sessions. I am still waiting on confirmation from 2 of them to post, but here is another lovely family I shot on there own yard. I love there yard. I am so tempted to evict them and just move in. But because I love them and don't want them to be homeless, I won't. ; )
So check them out, and look at lil B man and miss A's eyes!!! Stunners!! Bluest Blue.
Thank J and P for the great afternoon! All the skeeter bites were DEF worth it!I came back a few days later to get some more shots of Miss A since we didn't get a whole lot of her the first time, and I am ever glad we did !! I have to run now, but I will be back in a few hours to post my latest of my baby cakes, Mikka! Check back, you don't want to miss these! ; )
