More Senior Mini-Sessions

This girl has really grown up since I babysat for her quite a few years ago. She has matured into a pretty cool young lady. She has plans to go into a Firefighting/Paramedic career after high school, a kid after my own heart.Look at these gorgeous eyes!
Miss J has the most beautiful hair! This image doesn't give it justice, I will have to remember to showcase how long it is in her full session.

How cute is this little one!?!!

Isn't she the sweetest little doll?!! She has the cutest little personality to match, I think I could have taken pictures of her all day! She was all smiles, I actually had to work to get the serious looks from her. Little Miss C, your welcome in my studio anytime!!

Look how it "turned out" Mr. G!

I had the great pleasure of photography this sweet little 2 year old. He was so darn cute, he kept asking "did it turn out?" after I would take a shot. His mom told me that he loved to have his picture taken and she was right he was the perfect little model!

Urban Ballet



This image really speaks to me, and I felt the need to share it! It has been years since I donned a tutu and ballet slippers, but this image is something I would have loved to have done back then. You see my old dance instructor would harp on us if we would wear our ballet shoes anywhere besides in the studio. I wasn't too fond of her back then, so it was fun to traipse around in the alley during this session. Thanks, Miss P, for letting me live vicariously though you.

p.s. Brenda if you ever read this (which is highly unlikely) "Eat Your Heart Out"! Just kiddin!

Under My Umbrella

I thought I would share a couple of my favorites, so far, from an engagement session I had today. They are a cute couple and I'm glad that I will get to be a part of the only "2 nice days" in their life. Although I'm sure there will be more, right Russ? Here's something a little different. I really like this image it reminds me of the Rihanna song "Under My Umbrella". Here's a little bit of the lyrics if your not familiar with it:
"When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella

Look at those Big Brown Eyes

This Mommy's got these kids so well trained, they knew exactly what to do when the camera came out. They made my job soooo easy, all I had to do was sit back and push the shutter. And talk about well behaved, I don't think I have ever met a more well-behaved 3 year old boy. It was a joy to photograph these brown-eyed cuties!

A Couple of Cowgirls

I had the privilege of having a session with these two fun girls and their horses today. They go to our church and are always so quiet and polite, but today I got to see another side of them. Giggly girls with lots of spunk! We would be busy shooting Miss E and Stormy, to turn around and see Miss K running with Hershey following behind. I had a great time girls and I'm sure I'll find a few more favorites to post later.

Don't ya just love Stormy's hat, he reminds me of Mr. Ed!
Sweet Equine Love!

Never too old for the Zoo

I had a B-I-G Birthday on Sunday. I am officially an adult, the big 3, oh well let's just say I'm old! Anyways Bry and I thought we would take Sawyer to the Zoo for the day, what a better way to take my mind off being soooo old then to chase a toddler around the zoo. We had a blast, Sawyer couldn't get enough, he ran from exhibit to exhibit. The only time he slowed down was to feed the goats, which is funny because he is the only one of my kids who was willing to do this at that age. Here are a couple of my favorites from the day:

This here is my favorite, just look at that gorgeous red hair! That's right us carrot-tops have to stick up for each other!
This here has to be the scariest animal in the zoo. Forget about the Jaguar, the Apes, or the Tarantula, this Punk is Ruler of the Zoo! Just look at that Crazy Mohawk, those beady little eyes, and that beak! I just knew that if we got to close he was coming to get us!
And here is the view of Sawyer that was the easiest to catch. He couldn't even be bribed into looking at the camera, there was no slowing him down.

Some more from the zoo

Grant and Sara's Wedding

I have to say that this was the best wedding I have done to date. Nothing against any of my other weddings, but this one just ran so smoothly and the location, WOW! Let me start by reminding you of the thunderstorms we had Saturday morning, and I just knew the wedding was going to get rained out and we would have to move it indoors. After all, Sara had ordered that there be NO MUD! But thanks to Phil and Grant and their clever little lies the wedding went on. The clouds parted and we even saw a little sunshine, even it was during the formal shots! Thanks for letting me share in your special day!
The Gentlemen
The Ladies
The Beautiful Bride
and this has to be one of my favorites of the day....
Can they be more in love?

My Cute Nieces and Nephew

Jaci and the kids were back for a wedding a couple of weeks ago so we got to spend the day with them. We can't wait until June when they get to stay longer.

Could they be any cuter! I was so excited to finally get a couple of pictures of Miss D, she is always to busy playing with the cousins to take pictures. Miss T is definitely 2 and has the personality to go with it! And look at Mr. S's smile, how can you look at that without smiling yourself!

Miss A and Miss M

I had the privelage to photograph these adorable sisters. Miss A really made me work, not mention her mom and dad, but look at that face. It was all worth it.
P.S. Happy Birthday Little Miss M

Welcome to the New (and hopefully improved blog)



I have had a blog for some time but for some unexplained reason (although I think it has something to do with the fact that when you have kids they suck the braincells right out of your head) I can't remember how to sign on to update it. So welcome to the New and Improved Crumrine Photography Blog. This is where I will share my favorite images and sneak previews of upcoming events. To start things off I will share a couple from my session in Kansas. These two are sisters, but couldn't be more different.
