B Johnson sneak peek

Happy 1st Birthday to this little guy! He is such a cutie pie, that I had a really hard time just adding a few pictures of this session to the blog. Cute kid + awesome fall colors= delighted photographer! I am telling you, I am going to be so sad when all the leaves fall off the trees and everything turns brown. But my guess is the crazy winds out there are going to take the majority of leaves off tonight. Sigh.

Mom and Dad played a big part in trying to get their son to look at the camera. I made them promise not to tell anyone what a goof I am when trying to get the attention of a child, so I won't tell you how silly they were dancing and singing...oops!

Enjoy!

Senior pics!

Meet Sam. He is my little cousin, and my 4 year old daughters first crush. A couple months ago we saw Sam at Wal-mart and after we finished talking to him and went on our way, Lilly announced "Sam is soooo cool. I think I love him." I got a good giggle out of that coming from a 4 year old. Then Monday Sam came to have his senior pictures made, and after he left Lilly says "I am going to marry Sam because he is the one I love." So there ya go buddy, she loves you! lol.

OK, enough about silly Lilly. We could not have timed this session any better. The fall colors were at their best Monday. It is absolutely beautiful back here! Sadly, the color will fade in a few days. We had a good time letting Sam just be himself and capturing that! This is just a sample of what we shot, and I am not even done editing them yet, I just ran through a pulled out a few to post on the blog.

Enjoy, and hope you like them Aunt Wina!

Sweet little baby "O" is not a baby anymore, he is turning 1!! Happy Birthday buddy!

"O" is the son of my cousin, and although I knew he looked a lot like his Daddy, I was struck by how much he actually did when I was doing this session. Funny how when something fills the frame of your camera you really study it in a way you normally would not. It was almost like looking at a little Josh!

We are starting to see a little bit of fall color in these pictures, which reminds me....my annual fall special will be coming up. Dates for that are Sept 25th &26th and Oct 8th-11th. Packages will be available for this special only! I will also be hosting a fall special contest, and 1 lucky client will get to take home a 16x20 canvas for free. FREE! That is a $185.00 value!

Please know that I will not be choosing the winner of the contest, some fellow photographers will. Don't miss out on this great chance!

Just drop me a e-mail to book a slot for the fall session!

A touching wedding image

A few weeks ago I had the honor of photographing the wedding of a couple that I went to high school with. I am finishing up the editing on that wedding tonight, but I just could not wait to share this image.

Right before the ceremony I heard a older gentleman talking fondly about the bride. "I used to take her out with me when she was just this high!" he said to another man. He had such pride on his face! I could not help but to steal glances at this man during the wedding ceremony, and you could tell he was watching that little girl with such love!



After the wedding was over and the couple were standing in their receiving line, the gentleman came through and she gave him a hug! Turns out he was her grandfather! It is obvious that she is special in his eyes, and he means a lot to her. Their hug lasted long enough for me to get several shots of them together. This one was by far my fav! Brought a tiny tear to my eye! I hope you like it too!

J&K Howard wedding

Just a quick litle update with a few details from the June wedding of J&K Howard. Enjoy.

tiny maternity peek

Ok, I swore I would not edit these yet, because I have some other things that need to be edited first, but...I'm a liar! Well, not technically, it''s not like I edited the whole session, just 3 little pics!

i have been begging people to let me take maternity pics. the last ones I did were over a year ago, and my work has come so far since then. Well, I finally roped my beautiful Sister in law into being my model! Yay!!

I promise I will be posting some of the more "traditional" pictures of her later, but for now the fun ones are what I will be sharing.

Just in case you are wondering, our little nephew should be here any day now!!

Time for a post!

Sheesh! Summer has been busy in this household. House work, garden, been outside playing with the kiddo as much as possible, a wedding here and there. I have hardly had time to update my blog! So enjoy a quick little update of a recent engagement session, and a brother/sister session (same pic of the gal twice, but I just could not decide B&W or color!) Stay tune for some wedding shots soon!
