Families...

Okie dokie, these are some really cool families who deserve a spot on the blog.  They were SO much fun to get to know and made my job really easy.  Oh, and there's a pooch tagging along too!

This little guy belongs to the Barnes family, above...  He sorta butted his way into most of the photos.  I guess he likes to have his picture taken.  What a CUTIE!!!

Is it just me or does the little gal look like Cindy Lou Who off of The Grinch?  Wasn't that her name?  I can't remember for sure, but I know this little gal looks just like her!

And the entire Green Family.... let me tell ya, that's a large group - Which I happen to be a part of.  If you look close, you can see a really big pregnant ME way over to the right!

And this family was a total HOOT as you can see!

A little brother-sister torture going on here... poor guy, so abused I'm sure!

Hayden and Kaleb...

These two spunky little fellas are two of my favorite boys.  You have to be quick around these guys, but luckily I have a secret weapon (Ty) who I bring over quite frequently to play.  This means I get lots of opportunities for photos!  So, Kirstyn, these are for you!

Lynn & Cassy

This was such a fun photo session.  I knew from the minute I met this couple we were going to have some fun.  It turns out I happened to have taught Lynn when he was in 6th grade.  I was pretty young too, only 24, and I was doing my student teaching.  I knew I recognized his name when they booked the session, but I couldn't figure out from where.  Talk about feeling a little OLD!  At any rate, the two are getting hitched in August and they were so fun and cute!  I wish them the very best and I'm so happy to be a part of their engagement and wedding plans!  So, Lynn and Cassy, here's to you!

A day of play

Okay, it's been really crazy around here lately.  I've been SO busy with photos and all that jazz that I've been neglecting my little ones!  So, Tuesday, we took a day off to play.  Ty, Wes, and I went to my friend Kristy's house.  She has all the fun toys, including a really big moon bounce for the kids to play in.  Here are some of the photos from that day!  Be sure to take a good look at her daughter Bella!  Doesn't she look like Shirley Temple!  Ty and Bella get along great, as you can see!  They love each other!

Enjoy!  Oh, and for all you out there waiting for pictures of Wes...they're coming soon! 

Some of my favorites...

I've taken a lot of photos throughout this past year.  I thought I'd share some of my favorites.  I'm having the best time getting to know all of you and hope to see more of you in the years to come! 

Stephanie & Aaron

I have been SO busy with engagement sessions these past few weeks.  I love to do them though... it's fun to see the very beginning of such a huge thing.  Stephanie and Aaron were so sweet - they met at a college party, separated afterwards by a long distance, and then happened to both end up in the same place.  It must be fate, right?  That's what I thought...

Here's a few from their session.

Davis Family

This was supposed to be an all outdoor shoot, but turned into a little of both.  We had to rethink the outdoor shots due to all the rain we've had lately.  The ground was so saturated that we had to tiptoe around to get anywhere without getting our shoes soaked!  So, I snapped a few pics outside and we headed in.  I loved hanging out with this family!  The son had flown in from Colorado Springs and is "newly single" I might add, and the daughter and her husband had come in from Dallas bringing along their totally adorable pooches!  Here are a few shots from both in and out...

Dace - Senior 2007

This little gal was SO fun to photograph!  She brought along her mom and her boyfriend - who was willing to jump in a few photos.  I had the best time getting to know this group!  Dace's brother will be graduating next year - I hope he's as much fun as his big sis!

Kayla & Dustin...

These two seemed SO in love.  I love to catch those perfect moments when they forget I'm around.  I wish them the very best with their upcoming wedding in July!  I know everything will be perfect!
