Miranda



My first senior session of the summer. The was a fun photo shoot in a neighbors back yard under the rims. They have an amazing yard; very well kept, big boulders, and a huge lawn of green grass. These are a few of my favorites, but there were so many pictures to choose from it was hard. I just wanted to get some pictures up for you to look at :)

Miranda has a fun style. Love the shirt below, especially in the black and white photo.



We took a few pictures with her cousin who is also graduation this year.





Thanks for calling! Everyone looks great, always fun to visit and catch up. Glad we finally didn't get rained out!

Niemeyer Family



What a wonderful family. It has been fun getting to know this family during summers at the kids play dates (ok maybe mommy play dates). I still can't believe school is starting. So I wasn't the strange camera lady, but you just never know how children are going to do. Lane exceeded my expectations for being 3, he was a champ for 45 minutes worth of family pictures.

It was so hard to schedule this family session. None of our weekends fell into place until the last weekend of the summer. What a great morning for pictures and the Zoo was a perfect place - I love the Zoo!



I love the series of photos below. Is he not adorable. I just wanted to give him hugs during the whole photo session, such a great kid.






We had a great time walking around the zoo taking pictures in tons of different spots. Did I mention I love the zoo. I don't even have to go see the animals, I just love walking around the front half of the zoo looking for spots to take pictures.



I had a great Saturday morning with your family. So glad we could finally get everyone together. Thanks for calling!

Rock Family



I met this family through softball and mutual friends. They are such a sweet family with sweet kids. It was a perfect night for pictures - no wind, happy kids, and then mosquitoes! Here are just a few of my favorites from the evening.







This is one of my favorite candid pictures. Everyone is having fun!



It was great to see you again before the summer is over. Thanks for calling, hope everyone is healed from the session. Call you soon.

Coleman Family



On days I photograph these two wonderful kids I don't have to workout. They are busy! I love watching kids grow up and being able to photograph these two have been a blast over the last 2 years. This was the first time I've photographed the family all together. There are so many fun pictures - I couldn't post them all. I love the candid photos from this session the most, probably because the kids have so much energy it shows in each picture.


These are my favorite photos of the kids I've taken so far. I love the next three pictures.





I love this picture below.



This was a fun evening. I love new locations and the golf course was perfect. I can't wait to show you all the "sand" photos, pretty cute. Also the picture you were wanting I am keeping a surprise for you - I LOVE IT, hope you do too. See you in a week.

Jayla

Tonight is a late night, but this little 7 month old was so sweet I just had to get some pictures of her up. She never cried and this was the hardest post to just pick a couple. I could have posted 10 pictures or more. We actually got quite a few smiles out her. At the beginning she was pretty serious, but she warmed up and her parents were great. Such a sweetie with gorgeous brown eyes!

I love the photo below in the basket. So cute.

I really struggled with leaving the photo below in color or black and white. I just love this picture in black and white so went with it.

I enjoyed meeting your family today. It was such a fun photo session, hope you enjoy the handful of pictures.

Rudolph Family

What a wonderful family. I grew up with Joby and he helped me more then he probably knows through my first year of college. I was a little lost and since we were both going into engineering fields we had a lot of the same classes. Thanks for steering me on the right track with school. Since then he moved east and it is always fun to get together when all our high school friends are in town. I was excited to photograph the family as a whole, but haven't done three families in one session ever.

I love the black and white photos from this session. This could have been all black and white pictures, must have been the clothes. The top photo is my favorite picture.

Look at Mimi. Such a great name instead of "grandma". You have wonderful grand kids.

De thank you so much for calling - glad we could find a time that worked for everyone.

the ranch

A couple of weeks ago my sister and I loaded up the kids and headed to the ranch. I love going there so quiet and beautiful. Instead of uploading 20 pictures I thought a collage would do the weekend justice. My little guy just turned 2, so sad.

Such a cute bunch of kids, love them all to pieces. My nephew is 4, my niece turns 2 in September, and Isaac turned 2 the beginning of July. They grow up too fast!

If anyone has that "special" family place they would love to take photos at just let me know. I'm always up for new locations.
