In honor of Mom’s Day!

I've been trying like crazy to come up with something cool to do for moms this year and the more I try the more I keep coming back to what I'd want.  I'm asked by folks ALL the time why I don't put myself in more pictures with my family…  Why I don't get someone...

Sarah…soon to be a cowboy.

Meet Sarah.

Is she gorgeous or what?
Sarah is from Illinois and will soon be a student at Oklahoma State University.  This weekend she’s spending some quality time in Stillwater getting to know the local sorority sisters.  She’s thinking of pledging to one of the houses herself.  Although, I’m betting it’s a really tough decision to make...

Chantz

I'm finally getting around to posting the REAL sneak peek for our guy Chantz…  If you haven't already, take a look at THIS post and let me know what you think.  I'm leaning more toward Dennis Quaid as you probably will…
Anywho…hello, hello…Bueller?
Just kidding.
These phone booths on the OU campus are WAY cool – I really...

You decide…

KEVIN COSTNER or DENNIS QUAID?

OR am I completely CRAZY?
I couldn't wait until tomorrow (technically, it IS tomorrow) to post a shot of my outrageous senior from tonight's session.  He was a total HOOT and a photographer to boot!  I'm planning a big sneak peek for him that'll post on Thursday afternoon sometime.  BUT, for now…I...

March 26, 2009 - 2:07 am Kristy - Wahoo! At first I thought u were nuts but dang ur right! I'm thinking his mom is kevin Costner and his dad is quaid! Either way he's is one GOOD looking kid! Can I say that since I'm old!? U think they will put the half naked shot in his year book? What possessed u to make him undo his shirt! Great pics as always! He is a cutie patootie!!

March 26, 2009 - 2:57 am Mischa Smith - I don't remember high school guys being this cute. I don't think I went to school with a Dennis Quaid or Kevin Costner. Our guys were always awkward!! OK, so, why in the world are you up at this hour? I have a constantly coughing kid that must have abd muscles liked a ripped body builder now from all the dry coughing going on. We've sat in the cold air, closed ourselves off in the shower room to get steamy, and now, a second round of codeine for the night. I'm about out of tricks from the magic hat. You should do sick kid photo sessions, pics of exhausted moms in pjs, dirty houses, and those droopy puppy dog eyes.

March 26, 2009 - 9:30 am ~abi~ - haha! you are totally right--he looks like both! :) i never realized before that kevin costner and dennis quaid have such similarities! :)

March 26, 2009 - 3:59 pm Kim - I wonder if you could get that action that you morf the two faces together...the one where they make a potential celebrity baby out of two celebrities!!!! I love both Kevin and Dennis, but I think your senior is more handsome than both of them, even put together. Great photos and fun post to read:)

Cadieux Crew

I've been friends with this family for as long as I can remember…even before becoming the full fledged photographer I am now.  I guess you could say, "They knew me back when…".  AND, they still love me now, even after all the fame!  HA! 
Thank goodness for that.
The pretty gal in the yellow is my...

Jake

Whew!  Finally!

I met up with Jake, his mom, and his adorable girlfriend, Jamie on Sunday night.  It was CRAZY windy and on the verge of a major rainstorm (that never actually hit).  I just kept thanking my lucky stars that I was hangin' with a guy since most of you gals out there would've canceled...

March 24, 2009 - 12:00 am Amber Fife - very earthy-- love it. My favorite is the one of him in the striped shirt towards the end, in front of that train thing. Great job!

Inspired…more from Eureka Springs

It's funny how changing your perspective can change your daily life.  We create our own experiences and those experiences shape who we become.  This trip to Eureka Springs was nothing amazing.  I didn't jump from any airplanes or hike to the top of Pike's Peak.  BUT, I left there inspired. 
I spent some quality time...

March 21, 2009 - 12:05 pm Amber FIfe - i love that sense of renewal-- good for you! Hopefully April will bring that for me!

Eureka Springs…catching up.

As you may have noticed, I've been MIA for a few days.  I've been REALLY wanting to post to give a big shout out hello to all of you in blogland, but resting won out.  We've literally been laying low for the past few days while on vacation in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  It's been nice.
I...

March 19, 2009 - 8:44 am Amy - Totally jealous!! All Mommy's need a break! And I firmly believe all kiddo's need breaks from their Mommy's also! Again, I'm totally jealous! Have a great time.

March 26, 2009 - 3:56 pm Kim - What a wonderful wonderful trip. Life is good.

Beautiful…in every single way

Here are a few more from our SHORT photo time this past Tuesday. 
The weather did not cooperate – we literally shot for about 30 minutes in the freezing-cold wind, and still I was able to get these gorgeous pics of my pretty friend.  She won't like any of these because she's so hard on...
