Autrey Landan {Newborn}

July 13th, 2010

I just love squishy babies! Sweet little Autrey wasn’t so little born at 9lbs 13oz and 21.25 inches long! This boy knew he’d have to be strong and big quick to keep up with his big brother and sister! I’ll tell you this though, not only did he know he’d need to be big and strong but also patient! His mommy and I had some hoops for him to jump though on this shoot….or should I say buckets to fit into! He was a champ though, even while awake he was content at us folding, squishing and moving him from prop to prop! He even gave us some smiles! Congratulations Anndalyn & Pat on another beautiful baby and your wonderful growing family!

Margot Lynn {Newborn}

Precious! It seems there has been a lot of boys born lately so I was thrilled to photograph this precious little princess! She was so tiny and sleepy I had to remind myself I was working; I just wanted to stare at her all day!

Timothy Dallin {Newborn}

June 28th, 2010

Simply scrumptious! Don’t you just want to squeeze him!  That perfect little face is to die for and he was a sleeping angel the whole shoot!  Mom and dad could not be more smitten with their little guy and I feel blessed to have been able to capture a tiny portion of their love. Congratulations Sara & Jerry, he is absolutely cheek pinching adorable!

Lester Family {Maternity}

June 21st, 2010

I was so excited to photograph my good friend Alyeska’s gorgeous pregnant tummy and even more excited when she told me last minute that the kids were coming too! I absolutely love this family and could not wait to capture this special time! I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Keirgan! Congratulations Alyeska & Terry on your beautiful growing family!

Sweet Baby Liam {Newborn}

June 16th, 2010

What a little stud! We waited patiently for 8 week old Liam to fall asleep only for him to awake immediately after the 1st shot! How dare we not allow him to model for us! And model he did! Gazing strait into the lens this boy did not take his eyes off the camera! Striking poses and giving us smiles it was incredible! He stayed awake and worked like a professional till the end of the shoot! Simply Amazing! I think mama’s gonna have her hands full with this one!

Denise, Kyle & Crew {Family}

June 10th, 2010

Get ready for some color!!! Denise and I had so much fun planning out this photo shoot and even more fun on location! We were out there for TWO hours! The kids were awesome and little Ian even grabbed a cat nap while I did individuals, it was perfect! What about the 2 year old you ask? Even Brady was great! As long as he was sitting on something or throwing a little orange ball at me he was happy! Great shoot, great family!

Tessa {Portrait/Headshots}

June 5th, 2010

How gorgeous is this girl! Beautiful Tessa will be competing in a Pageant this summer and needed some simple headshots for her entry into the “Most Photogenic” competition. Yup…pretty sure she’s gonna win! Here are a few of my favorites! Good luck Tessa!

My Niece Aly – Three Year {Portraits}

June 1st, 2010

So I may be a little bias but…isn’t she the cutest kid EVER! I love her to pieces and couldn’t wait to do her pictures. That didn’t stop us from procrastinating three months though! (hey, I get busy!) So we finally get got together one Saturday morning to snap some pics! Since we did outside last year we thought we’d do studio…yup she pretty much had NO interest in getting her pictures taken! Luckily she had pretty shoes to play with! What a little princess!

Henrich 2010 {Family}

May 26th, 2010

I love the Henrich family! Not only are they great friends of mine but also such a beautiful family to photograph!  I’ve been photographing them for several occasions over the last 3 years now and have such a great time every time! I think this is my favorite shoot to date…(but I do have head shots of Tessa waiting to be edited!) Enjoy!

Aleena {Newborn}

May 23rd, 2010

Sweet little Aleena was the first newborn girl I was lucky enough to photograph this year and I couldn’t wait to bust out the tutu! What a doll! I mean just look at those gorgeous lips! I feel sorry for her Daddy cause she’s gonna be a knock out just like her mama!
