Catching up ....

Meet Christopher. These photos were taken to commemorate his middle school graduation - he looks way older than 8th grade. The whole time I was taking these I couldn't help but think about how fast me two are growing up. Although some days I can't wait until they go to sleep at night, I do secretly wish time would S - L - O - W down.

On a side note ... Christopher totally reminded me of a guy I went to high school with. I was amazed at how much they looked alike! So all you Carbon grads out there see if you can guess who I'm talking about.

Long time no blog ...

It has been forever since I blogged last. Lots has been happening with kids, family, school and work. I have many shoots to share, but wanted to post this one first. My dear friend Stephani is having a birthday and what better to surprise her with than pictures of her sweet daughter Bella. We took these pics for her preschool graduation. A is for A-D-O-R-E-A-B-L-E.

The Callahan Family

Meet the Callahan family.



I went to school with Cori's brother and sister-in-law. I was so excited when she contacted me about family photos. We did this shoot back in November on the coldest day ... EVER! Cole is adorable, as you can see! There were so many from favorites from this shoot I just couldn't narrow them down. I loved this session!























LOVE this one ...

Many Years

So, I am as sick as I have been in awhile - Meaning I can't leave my house, play with the kids or come up with an excuse not to blog. So, here is a shoot from October!!! Meet the Beans ...

Tod has been a lifelong friend of Shay, they were "best man" at each others weddings, and find many humorous ways to subtly insult each other. Jenny and Tod met in college in Kansas, where she is from. When we met we instantly hit it off. We both came from close families, shared a lot of likes and both had a lot of patience (dealing with Tod and Shay, you have to.) She is one of those people that you don't have to see daily, but feel like you do. Does that make sense? If not, we shall blame it on the cold medicine.

These two have been with us on the happiest day - our wedding and births of each others children, and in the most dificult time - the passing of my dad and Shay's mom. It was my pleasure to capture this beautiful family that has meant so much to my family, for many, many years.

LOVED

Meet Luke. He was my first subject of 2011. He was so handsome and cooperative. Take a peek at his session and birth announcement.

I still have to post a bunch of sessions from Nov./Dec., so be patient. Can't wait for spring sessions just around the corner!

On Pointe

This is Abby.



You may remember her from here. She wanted to take some pics in her pointe shoes. I love the simplicity and beauty of these. Dancers are so graceful. I am not :)





















How fun are these last two ...
