Senior with a Funky Style!

I love this girl's style, she looks like she belongs in some stylish ad campaign!

By the way which crop do you like best? I'm leaning towards the closer crop as it really shows off her stunning eyes.

Sweet little B!

This little one did so good during her session, she gave me some great wide eyed images and then she dozed off so I could get some adorable sleeping shots.

Pragtige Klein Dogterjie! (precious little girl)

I haven't had a chance to share new images of our sweet little niece, and I'm sure her grandparents in Namibia are wanting to see some new ones too!

Simply Beautiful!

Do I need to say more?!?


I promised you a sneak peek and I'm sorry it took me so long. I will have your proofs ready by Tuesday evening.

Another Gorgeous Senior!

I think this area of Nebraska must have a high population of beautiful seniors, either that or I really lucked out with this one. She was just as sweet and easygoing as she looks which made her session easy and lots of fun! Hope you enjoy your sneak-peek!

My Baby Girl's New Haircut

Daughter #3 got about 5 inches cut off her hair and she looks so grown up now. I decided to take her out for a photoshoot to document her new Do!

It's Just not Fair!

My kids all have very long eyelashes, but it's not fair that my boys have the longest of all. I loved how the light was hitting the tips of his lashes!

Miss Curls and her Handsome Brother!

These two were a blast to shoot, full of spunk and absolutely gorgeous! I was extremely excited when their mom specifically asked for close-ups, as that is my favorite style of image!

I was afraid that I wouldn't get any of Miss J in focus because she was always on the go and sooooo fast, but I was pleasantly surprised by how many adorable shots I ended up with.

I know your waiting on these!!

I haven't been a very good blogger lately, but I am trying to finish editing all the sessions I've had lately and my computer problems haven't helped the situation. Here are a few from our Arkansas trip, thanks for waiting patiently on me to get your images ready! I'm almost caught up and will get to your proofs soon. Hope these sneak peeks hold you over a little bit!

Brown Eyed Beauties

Here's a sneak peek for these cute girls' mom. I am having technical difficulties with my proofing site and can not get these to upload. I hope to have the problem resolved by the end of today. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I had to share this one!

I was uploading images from my session this morning and knew I had to share this one right away. Is she not the cutest? Look at those eyes and that curley hair! Thank you, Miranda, for letting me photograph your adorable girls! I'll share some of her big sisters in a later post.

It's hard to believe that my baby is now 2. He looks so grown-up in this picture and he is really starting to turn into a sweet little boy. He loves Thomas the Train, Cars, copying everything we say, and following his sisters and brother around making messes.
Happy Belated Birthday Soy-Bean!!
I will be away from the computer for a few days while we spend time with family. I will return all email's and phone calls on Monday. Have a nice weekend!

All Boys!

Most photogs will tell you that boys are harder to photograph than girls. So when I noticed that I would be having only boy sessions last week, I started to worry. You see most boys hate the camera and just want to have the session over as soon as possible. But I think you'll agree that the camera loved these cuties, OOPS!, I mean handsome boys!! Thank you guys for being such good sports during your sessions.

And to top it all off, they all had Beautiful Blue eyes!

Non People Pictures

I do take pictures just for fun, I forget to share them though! Sometimes I would get in the car and go out driving by myself and have a little fun with my camera. Life has gotten too crazy and those little trips never happen. Maybe I can make a date with myself and go out driving one of these evenings. If I do I'll share some of my shots with you! But until then, here are a few non-people shots that I like!

Senior Picture season is in full swing! Here is an image from last night. I had the pleasure of photographing this handsome guy in one of the coolest locations. Thanks for sharing your secret location, Lynn!!

A few from this last week

Here are a few from recent session's.
One of the fastest moving kids I've photographed yet, I'm lucky to have caught this sweet smile!
This couple was a blast to shoot, I can't wait til their wedding. I better be on my toes, as I never know what crazy thing this guy is going to do next!
Another image of my gorgeous new niece!
Isn't she a stunning Mommy-to-be?

Little Miss "Allie Cat"

Our sweet new niece finally made her debut today. She was the most cooperative model, slept so soundly the whole time we were there. I'm sure you will see more of this little sweetie, as we have another photo shoot planned for later this week!




She is already tired of Aunt Courtney's camera, and at less than 1 day old!!

July 23, 2007

I can hardly believe it has been a whole year since I first photographed this sweet little angel! She really wasn't in the mood for pictures, so I am extremely happy with this image. I did a special painted canvas technique on this one, so click the image and enlarge it to see the details.

Who does she remind You of ?!?

I knew from the moment I took this image that it would be a favorite of mine. She is a gorgeous girl, and would you believe she is only going to be a freshman!
This is the image I took when I realized who it is that she reminds me of. I want to see if anyone else sees the resemblance, so if she reminds you of anyone leave me a comment! Hint: Think 90's t.v. shows!!

worth the wait!

I have been waiting for over a month to get this little guy in my studio. His chubby little cheeks are so stinkin' cute! He wasn't in the mood for a nap so this is the only image I have of him with his eyes closed, but isn't it adorable!
