Moving Into Spring!

Don and I have been out goofing around and shooting......enjoying the warmer days (and one very snowy one) with our cameras.....some of my random favorites below!

Hopefully our last snow day!

Isaac at 8 months!

He's a-growin'! :) Isaac was a little hesitant to offer up those precious grins, but we managed! LOVE those chubby arms and blue eyes!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I made some Valentine's cards for my girls to take to school--we did some fast 30 second (literally--I so wish I had time to have done something more!) headshots for the cards.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The most serious baby....part three!

The most serious baby is 9 months old! And not quite so serious anymore! :) She started out serious, but Mom and I broke her--she even let me have it, as you'll see below. ;) Love it! Could she be any darn cuter?!

Audra and Mike Get Married!

What a FUN wedding this was!! Seriously, it's not every day that you get both antique cars and skydivers in the same day! But, alas, this one offered both and more!

And I owe a big thank you to Don, who shot this one with me. Mike towered over even him--and he's nearly 6'6"--so you know my barely 5'3" frame appreciated the help!! :)

Both Audra and Mike were stunning and a thrill to work with--thank you both for the amazing opportunity!

The rings

Could Audra be any prettier??

Having some fun!

There really were skydivers!

Cute two year old!

I love letting two year olds loose and you never really know what you are going to get! :) This little one gave me the whole deal--smiles, dancing, jumping, crying, frowns--all of it! But that's what makes them great, really. This was another one of those sessions where choosing what to post is hard--because they are all cute!

Dancing Queen! Check out that finger!!

Sad girl...ahhhhh......
Smiley girl!


And the whole family!

Christmas Cards!

I did a handful of new designs this year for client Christmas Cards!

Here are a few of them!

A [Belated] Happy Holidays!

Well, tomorrow it is back to the grind! The normal routine starts back--and, honestly, it's a bit of a relief. Our Holidays were great--blessed with family and friends--but this break has been filled with 'unluck', for sure! I lost my computer and all operating systems right before Christmas and I feel like I've spent every spare moment trying to get back up and running. It's been--and continues to be--a bit of a nightmare! I'll get through it! There was also a car break in and vandalism MESS.....some illness.....yeah, I'll be glad to get back into the routine! ;) (FYI: No images were lost--I have them organized and backed up so that losing images is virtually impossible. No worries!)

Yesterday Don and I spent the entire day overhauling my office--and he helped me organize all of my drives so I can access everything I need. Thank goodness for his help!!


In all of this, I didn't get to post my Holiday Card, so I'm going to--even though it's a bit late! :)

I did a folding card this year--the first image is the front, the second is the inside of the card (it's bent in the middle and fills both top and bottom of the actual folded card), and the back is a quick explanation of what's in the image tree.

Enjoy! And I hope everyone had a fabulous Holiday Season!!

Family Photo Time!

It is that time of year--the time for the family photo!

I have photographed this family several times and enjoy watching the kids grow!

I couldn't decide which family image I liked better--the ornery one or the sweet one! :)

The Eye--Update

Just a quick update on the eye! Thanks for all the messages of concern--I appreciate them!

It is healing. I am still having trouble with it, however, and have to continue my meds for an entire month and go easy on it. I will be sporting my glasses most of the time for a while too. (I wore my contacts for a couple hours to a Gala last night and I'm paying for it today.)

But, as with most things, I will survive. Shorter periods on the computer (which totally stinks!!), a million eye drops, a few more trips to the doctor, and some more sleep and I'll be AOK.

Mike and Audra--Engaged!

Good gravy did we have trouble getting this session in! I think we literally scheduled and cancelled at least 4 sessions due to bad weather--the only thing left to upheave us was a tornado, I think. ;) But, we prevailed--about a week before the wedding, we pulled off a short session on a cloudy day. And fun we had!

Stay tuned! Wedding images of these gorgeous people are coming SOON! :) (And, yes, their wedding day had gorgeous weather--we got it ALL out of the way with the engagement sessions! lol)
