BAD BAD BLOGGER!!!

2009-06-29T15:19:00.003-07:00

ok so I've been neglecting this blog lately and to say the least my excuses are not that great.
It's summer break now and with the kids home and enjoying this summer fun I've been a little busy.
I will try to do my best and update with the latest sessions to keep it fresh. If you ever want an update though I'm a great updater on my facebook. It only takes me a second to get pictures up there and it's easy.
I'll try to do better but I cant make any promises.
Scheduling family and kid sessions right now on Wednesdays and Thursdays, please contact me if you're interested!!

Today was a family session with the Gleasons and cutie pie Finn who's 5 months.
I love his cheeks and so do his parents, I mean who can resist.
They were so fun to photograph, so happy and just so sweet together.
Photographing a family like this makes my job to much fun!
Thanks you guys for just being you and letting me get such great images!

These are the kind of shots you will get at the newborn session!

Thanks for the great shots Evi, you are a beauty! Look at those big Blue eyes!

TUTU MUCH FUN

2008-06-24T15:44:00.000-07:00

Who Says TUTU's aren't fun for all ages!

So my friend had the opportunity to shoot Tu Tu's for tutufantasy.com
She came over today with the tutu's and we had a good old time... We love to have fun and make a great team in photographing whatever it may be.
We let our daughter's spin around in the field today too and have a great time.
We were excited about the tutu's, can't you tell!

They are best friends like us, isn't that sweet!

The Aasen Family

2008-06-21T13:41:00.000-07:00

I had the greatest time photographing the Aasen's today. There was lots of energy with a one year old and three year old, but I embraced it. My belief is that it's all about the reality of life, what is real. It's all about capturing the essence of time...the emotion...the way your life is...how you are and what you do. Your family dynamics I like to say. What makes you the family you are.
It's those little things that you'll remember.
I always laugh when I see those shots so posed, everyone in there right place,sitting up straight smiling at the camera. Those are not my thing, just where's the emotion?
I love emotion and seeing these guys in there element at home!

Thanks
Aasen Family for letting me be a part in capturing your family moments!

Family Session with the Walkers

2008-06-18T22:42:00.001-07:00

So once again I love photographing families. It's so fun to see the different dynamics that every family has. This family is especially dear to my heart because this little cutie pie is my adorable little niece, and that beautiful blonde is my sister. I love these guys so much and was so happy to photograph them and give them these priceless images of them just lovin on one another.

If you love these images in the flowers and the red and blue barn, guess what this is my backyard. It seems to be the center of attention lately. I never new my backyard was a gold mine to photograph in. Schedule your next session with me in my yard!

I must say there's nothing better than watching life be born, it's such a miracle and makes me cry Everytime! I am very passionate about childbirth ,maybe it's because I've had 3 of my own and loved every minute of it! I photographed this couple at there wedding and now I've photographed there first born daughter. It was so beautiful to see the love between them during this time... and what a beautiful baby they now have.
Thank you so much you guys for letting me be there for this special miracle! I was so honored to be there.

MY DAUGHTER

2008-05-29T14:31:00.000-07:00

CHILDHOOD is so amazing! Being so care free and full of life. Today me and my daughter Jewel spent some time in the backyard . I enjoyed playing with her and letting her be herself. She wanted to model for me so that's the great expressions you see. It was so fun to get these great shots of her! She is growing up way to fast lately, I wish could just freeze her. She's got such a beautiful spirit and she loves to play! When I'm with her life seems so simple. That's what I love about children and what I love about her!

CAMPING WITH THE FAM

2008-05-27T21:32:00.001-07:00

This memorial weekend we took the kids camping. We purchased a travel trailer last fall and are enjoying our getaways.We love camping and all being together. Here are just a few fun shots from the weekend. I took way to many pictures as usual, but I always say I'd rather have too many than wish I'd taken more... There was so much to do at the campground we went too and our good friends even introduced us to a new campfire yummy...doughboys!

Can never get enough quality time with the family and I so much treasure the memories we make!
I love the getaways...can't wait till the next one!

2008-05-23T20:07:00.000-07:00

It's amazing to me how fast time flies by. My littliest guy is already 8 months old and getting so big way too fast. Every month I take a picture of him since the first year they change so much. It's so exciting to see the new things he does and it just makes me treasure those priceless moments.
My babies! The joy of my life!

Congratulations Mark and Daye!

I love this family. I have been photographing them since she was pregnant with Mason who is now 4. It's fun to see how much he's grown and what a ball of energy he is. He's such a fun little guy who loves to play. I enjoyed seeing them in their environment at home playing and doing what they do best, enjoying eachother!
Thanks Webb Family!!

So the weather man said that we'd have sun and I wasn't quite sure I believed him, and then it appeared. And what a great day it turned out to be. I kicked off my shoes went outside in the grass and was able to photograph two of the sweetest siblings. They were so much fun and I got to try some fun stuff with them, they were great.
