September 30, 2007 - 6:13 pm cynthia - these are all so good but the one of mom and dad that is 'backlit' took my breath! and the one below it of dad is awesome...i love the 'mood' you captured. doesn't it make it easy when you don't have to pose everyone??

October 1, 2007 - 4:02 pm Megan - Shannon these are fabulous! I love the silhouette especially.

October 2, 2007 - 2:51 pm april - Oh Shannon, these are incredable! I so love the couple siluette. I want one of me and my DH like that now :D thanks for visiting my blog yours is so much more professional looking. I've gotta work on that

October 5, 2007 - 6:51 am Susan E. Warren - Miss Shannon, these are the best photos of my children and grandsons ever. Finally, someone has captured on film the absolute beauty of these precious family members. I also love the shot of Nana and Papa on the bench. Congrats! Great Work!

I’m Addicted…

to the Food Network.  It really has become a sickness.  I used to never even turn on the tv during the day when I’m home with the kiddos.  But, lately, I turn it on first thing in the morning.  There’s just something about a good cooking show that draws my attention.  Personally, I like the...

“I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll BLOW your house down!”

Ty is completely blown over with the BIG BAD WOLF these days!  It totally cracks me up!  He wants to hear the story, read the story, watch the story (Leapfrog – Storybook Factory), and even act out the story… 
Those pigs never had a chance!
Although, in these pictures, he should be the PIG, not the...

Best Shot Monday – Wes & Daddy

Alright, so this photo is technically really BAD, but I LOVE IT!  It was taken on an airplane ride this summer and I’m just now getting to edit some of those photos.  On an airplane you can’t exactly look around for the best light or change camera positions – so this is how it came...

September 24, 2007 - 8:42 am kim - that's a precious shot!

September 24, 2007 - 10:56 am NTE - You can do all that technical stuff and still have a picture that stinks, because it has no feeling. As opposed to this, which has so much heart that none of the other stuff matters. I love it!

September 24, 2007 - 12:07 pm MelodyA. - I think its sweet.

September 24, 2007 - 1:09 pm Megan - So cute! The lighting is really nice, actually!

September 24, 2007 - 1:49 pm Christina - AWWWW! My heart is melting. NTE is right, a picture can be technically perfect and yet still be empty if it's misses that soul and emotional connection. This image defintitely makes a connection! love how they're gazing into each others eyes.

September 24, 2007 - 2:55 pm Maggie - What a beautiful shot! I love how close up it is!

September 24, 2007 - 3:33 pm melody is slurping life - Agree with NTE. This is perfection to me. It says so much.

September 24, 2007 - 4:45 pm Melissa - Yup, who cares about all that technical stuff? Baby loves Daddy! And that's all that matters. ;)

September 24, 2007 - 6:29 pm Erinne - AWW - he sure is in love with his Daddy. Excellent capture.

September 24, 2007 - 7:30 pm Ashlea - oh, i think its perfect!

September 24, 2007 - 8:11 pm sara - That's perfect, and what a beautiful baby.

September 24, 2007 - 9:05 pm phyllis - technical shmechnical. it's gorgeous and you'll always have it to remember that face!

September 24, 2007 - 10:21 pm Cari - Definitely a great shot...he has such expressive eyes!

John Deere Buck EXT

Guess who got a new ride over the weekend???  You guessed it!  NOT ME!
Here was the old ride…  remember???This is a John Deere Tractor with Bucket Loader and a trailer which isn’t attached.  But wait, hold on to your hat!  Look what he’s driving now!  And speaking of new hats, check his out!
So, anyways, cool...

State Fair of Oklahoma

Nothing too exciting to post today so I thought I’d share some photos we took this past weekend while on a visit to our state fair.  This is the first year Ty has gotten to ride anything – in the past he was too small/young.  But, this year he was begging to ride anything that...

Dishing It Up

I’ve been trying something new lately…
It’s so hard to get anything done around here with Josh working so much of late and I feel I’ve been neglecting the kiddos – or at least not sitting down playing with them nearly as much as I usually do.  So, the other day while I was out driving...

Carly…and her buddies

Finally… is what my sister and her friends are thinking!  They’ve been waiting very patiently for me to post their pictures.  I’ve been swamped with other portraits and wedding receptions and and and yadda yadda yadda… you get the idea, right!?!
