Earle, Stacy, Claire, and Cale

Oh, man.  What to say….
This family was so much fun!  I truly had a great time with them and told them more than once how they’d fit in VERY well around our place.  Earle (yes, his name is Earle) was a lot like Josh, very full of mischief…if you know what I mean.  Poor Stacy...

Taste of Summer

Hey There.  Long time no see.
Have you missed me?
Can’t imagine why I’m not blogging as much as usual these days…
No, seriously.  I have been busy…
It’s been a good summer.   Now, though, I’m starting to mope.  Ty will be going to Pre-K in 3 weeks.  The thought of him being gone EVERY day is about to...

Holiday Mini-Sessions

Yes, I said HOLIDAY.
I’ve already had tons of folks emailing to ask when the holiday mini-sessions would be scheduled this year.  Rather than keep putting them off, I decided to go ahead and plan them now.
This will eliminate any rushing around in the Fall and also guarantee all of you AWESOME Christmas card photos.  Do...

Caleb ● 1 year

It’s funny how many emails I’ve been getting lately about gals with baby fever.  I guess they’ve been reading my blog regularly and have gotten to see the adorable little ones posted here.  Well, I’m going to have to agree with them.  I’ve got the fever, too!  Not to worry, though, I may have a...

McLaughlin Family

I met up with the VERY large McLaughlin bunch at the Myriad Gardens last night.  It was the only day their entire crew would be in the state all at once.  Our main goal was to get as many family shots as possible.  After that, if time permitted we’d throw in a few more for...

Steve, Holly, and Braxton

The last time I shot photos for Steve and Holly, it was just the two of them.  Now, they’ve become a “family” adding little man, Braxton, to the mix.  I knew the session would be a success the second I met the little guy.  I peeked into his infant carrier and barely said two words...

Jonathan ● 13 days

Meet Jonathan.
He is 14 days old and the tiniest little boy I’ve ever held in my hands.  He came into this world a bit earlier than expected surprising his mom and dad on, none other than, the 4th of July.  I suppose he needed a few fireworks in celebration of his glorious birth!
He is soft...

Sylvie Jane ● 5 days

I’ve been waiting to meet this little gal for a very long time.   Her gorgeous momma is my cousin.  I hate that we don’t get to see each other very often.  It’s mostly holidays and family get-togethers.  But, when we do see each other it always feels like we’ve talked every day…almost like having a...

Defending the silver lining…

I’ve started a bit of a routine.  I proof all night so I can play all day…with my boys.  I don’t get much sleep, but who needs sleep these days?  Right?  Okay, so I might be a little bit tired.  I can handle it…afterall, what do I have to complain about.  Life is good.
I know...
