Amelia's Senior pictures

She really does brighten my day when I see her! This is my awesome niece, Amelia. I was so excited to take her senior pictures back in October. I had so much fun hanging out with her. She'll definitely go far in life with her motivation and detemination. She is a very talented pianist, and has been doing it since she was a little girl, and now is pretty amazing at it! She found a very generous neighbor who let us use their beautiful piano in their home for part of the session.
Here are just a few of my favorites from Amelia's session:
























Thanks so much for hanging out with me, Amelia! I had a total blast! Good luck with after you graduate in 2010!

Shout out to other seniors out there . . . Now is the time to book your senior session, so that I can fit you in before you graduate! It's definitely a fun session and focuses on you and what you're good at. Email me if you're interested!

Thanks for stopping by!

Long time comin' . . . .

Has it been long enough yet? Have you missed me???? Well I've missed all of you. The past month and a half has been good and bad. Photography wise it's been amazingly great! I've had so many wonderful clients whom I love so much and have made it so much fun for me! Mid November I hit some stumbling blocks in my personal life, but we're doing ok now. So I'm sorry I've been a stranger. Blogging seriously was one of the last things on my to-do list. Even though today I've got oodles to do as it's the last weekend before CHRISTMAS, but wanted to share a few picts from some of the sessions over the past month.

The very first picture on the post: Jessica and Kevin are MARRIED!!! I can't even express how wonderful it was to be apart of their very special day. (Sorry your teaser picture has been a long time in coming). More about them and their wonderful wedding later. But Congrats!!!

Next one . . . Another way fun 2010 Senior! Julie was so awesome and we had a blast together! Love the colors in this next one!

And some cute babies:

Oh yes . . . . And yesterday my other fabulous couple this winter got married too!!!! Travis and Brianne had a wonderful day yesterday. Here's just a sneak for the rest of you out there of their groomals.



This next one is my favorite: (well one of them . . . ;)



Ok and because I have no idea if I'll have time to do another post before Christmas. Here's from me to you:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

(May Christ's love be in your hearts and homes this season and coming year)

Rock that OCF Workshop

This past weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to go to my first workshop. Ali Hohn, from Minnesota, flew in for the weekend to teach us all how to Rock our Off Camera Flashes! 10 of us photographers dove right in! I'm really excited by what I learned. I originally was very anti-flash, but with some of the new techniques I've learned, I'm now excited! But my Christmas list is now much too big for my own good :)

I had a really fun time getting to know the other photographers and Ali. Thanks again Ali for teaching us what you do best!

Enjoy some of my favorite pictures that I got this past weekend:

P.S. how do you all like my new logo (watermark)?? Still working on updating everything!

Oh yes, and I did notice that I missed the 2nd "h" in photography . . . I'm too lazy to fix it, but it'll be fixed in future watermarks/logos :)

Amelia's Teaser

Such a fun session . . . it always helps when it's my beautiful niece! I was also in love with this gate which just happened to be their neighbors! She's an awesome senior this year and we have lots of picture awesome-ness coming your way!

Some of Aug-Sept Sessions - Long Post!

Yep, I have found that the past couple months, I've been very far behind! While trying to fulfill all of the "hats" that I am responsible for, I have found no room for blogging lately :(

There have been lots of fun sessions that I just couldn't not post pictures of, so we're doing a few from some of the recent family and portrait sessions.

This first baby here . . . SO CUTE!! I still have got to one of these days post her newborn pictures because those were some of my very favorites! I was so happy when her mom brought her in for her 3 month pictures as well. And what do you know?! She fell asleep! It took us a while to finally wake her up because she was just too cute and let us move her around all we wanted to. Thanks for bringing in adorable Baby Allie!

Andy! He's one of 2010's awesome seniors! I had a total blast hanging out with him, his mom, and sister for his pictures! We got some awesome ones, that I'll use for the senior gallery (whenever that gets updated . . . since it's 4 awesome sessions out of date!)

Good luck this year Andy!

Family H was so fun! They are also returning clients since Baby Zander's newborn session. Wow he's grown and is still sooo cute!

But teething during the session wasn't fun for him . . . :(

(I got a good laugh out of this pic!)

Oh! It was also some little person's 2 year old birthday during September . . .

Tim & Roxanne - such a cute fun couple!




Family H-2 such a wonderful family! Beautiful children & mom!!
Family K: my cousin and her cute family from AZ. It was fun to meet their new addition!



Seriously, one of my favorites!!! So candid


































Well I've got lots of wedding posts to do . . . lots of sneak peeks from this weekend . . . Thanks to you who've stuck around even despite my lack of blogging!

Also remember that there are still openings for the fall mini sessions!

Have a great day! :)
