All of these cousins got together for a picture and what Grandma doesn’t want a picture of all of her grandchildren together?  I know my mom is still waiting and we only have 4 between my sister and I…we’d never get one with 7!

This is McKenna and Mason…

And Brennan, Jaren and Jace…

And Brittney and Brady…

I love this shot and love even more than no-one fell in…

What a crew…

Jace recently had a birthday and needed some pictures of just him…what a cutie!

I just love his dark eyes…

Thank you Stacey for rounding your family up for pictures.  I had a great time!

It’s a busy time for senior pictures and I have enjoyed every one of them…this is Jason…

His dog was so well behaved!  Pets aren’t always cooperative but this one could be a dog model! 

Jason’s only request involved football pictures and he really wanted to take some on the football field…it was really bright and sunny but we managed and I absolutely love this shot…

This is actually a painting on the wall of the staircase coming out of the locker room at Creek Valley…what a great background…

This is in the same staircase, the “Storm” lightning is painted on the stairs…

I did get a few shirt changes out of him, but I think he would have been good with just his football jersey…

Jason was a good sport and tried all the things I asked him to…

Good luck with your senior year Jason!  I enjoyed taking your pictures!

First of all I want to thank everyone for being so patient with me.  I have had a lot of things happen in the last week or so and I have gotten myself behind on editing.  By the end of this weekend I hope to be caught up.

This is Kirstin…so pretty…

I always love the sports shots…

The holes in her jeans totally adds to the texture of this picture…

Kirstin really wanted some shots on the highway…the sun was so bright…but we still managed to get a few cool highway pictures…

The light on her hair is beautiful!

I had a hard time choosing which pictures to edit from this session…what a great problem to have!

And my new favorite spot…

One more…her volleyball storyboard…

Thank you Kirstin for being so patient with me while I got your pictures done.  I’m still working very hard on getting everyone else’s done so please just bear wtih me!

Jessica came to me all the way from Denver …she was probably the most photogenic senior I have ever taken pictures of…what a natural in front of the camera.

Jessica has such a sweet smile but her serious look is great too!

What great eyes…

Also working in our favor was perfect lighting…

I love the way the clouds are reflecting off the water in this one…

I love the colors in this one…

Isn’t she so cute?

And Jessica’s storyboard…

Thank you Jessica!  I can’t believe you drove all the way here from Denver for pictures but I’m so glad you did.  I had a great time with you and I wish you the best of luck with your senior year!

I took Noah’s pictures when he was 4 months old and I took his brother Caden’s pictures before that.  Now Noah is 9 months old, back for more, and what a sweetie!!!

He might be the smiliest little guy I’ve ever seen although in this picture it looks like he is telling me he has had enough!

This is my favorite…

This is one of Noah’s favorite expressions!

Noah’s outfit matched my blue background perfectly!

We got some outside shots too but Noah was so interested in everything outside he didnt want to look at me anymore…

And here is his brother Caden…

Thank you Jana for bringing the boys back.  I always enjoy the time I spend with you…seems like we’ve known each other longer than we have and I enjoy our chats!

Olivia lives in Minnesota but comes to visit her grandparents every summer and this is the 3rd summer I’ve had the pleasure of taking her pictures. 

Olivia was the first to try out my new purple/lavendar background…I love it!

What a genuine smile…

Olivia really liked my hats and tried them all out…

This is my favorite…

I really like this one too…so cute!

And by this point, Olivia either needed the swimming pool or a nap.  She was done with pictures for sure!   What a great expression…

I wanted to include this storyboard because I think the 3 different background colors are kind of neat…

I’m glad you could join your mom and I this year Starrla!

We shot Beau’s senior pictures in 2 sessions.  He wanted some when wheat harvest was going on and after postponing them 3 times due to the crazy weather this year, we finally got some.   Then he came back later for more and I really love some of the shots we got.

The weather was crazy during this session too…the clouds were building and I was just hoping we would get done before it started to pour…

Thank goodness you can’t tell in the pictures, but by the time we got to the first location the wind was blowing really hard and the dirt was flying…

Good thing it was a session for a guy instead of a girl…we would have had to reschedule because of the wind!

This was a last minute location before the storm came…they are also my favorite!

The colors in this old pick-up are just so cool…

A storyboard showcasing the pick-up Beau is so proud of…

Thank you Beau.  I had a great time getting to know you at both of your sessions!  Good luck this year!

I have taken Owen’s pictures several times and this session proved to be a whole new challenge.  He brought his twin brothers William and Benjamin…wow his parents are busy!!  I explained this picture to Maria and she thought it would look great under the saying “We may not have it all together…but together we have it all.”  I love it and it goes with this picture PERFECTLY!  Owen is frowning and Will and Ben are crying…so funny!  Unfortunately this is about as good as we did with the whole family and 2 very tired little boys. ..but  I love Maria’s attitude about this one!

Owen did an awesome job.  He is just about to turn 3 years old which is sometimes a challenging age as well but he was a star…plus I bribed him with suckers! 

Love this one of all 3 boys….

What a little charmer…I love this little boy!

So cute!

He was so friendly with me and did a very good job with instructions!

This is William…his eyes look great on the blue background!

And this is Benjamin…

Thank you Paul and Maria.  I enjoyed your session and I’m sorry you were sweating so much by the time we were done!  I don’t know how you do it but more power to you!  You are wonderful parents and you have adorable little boys!

I took Caden’s pictures last summer and this summer he brought his new little brother with him!  This is Bryson…

My aunt knitted this baby sack for me a really long time ago and I finally got to use it…I think I need to put her to work again.  She is so good and I just love the things she makes me!!!

Here a few pics with Bryson’s mommy…

And one with his daddy…

And some with brother Caden…

This one cracks me up…guess this is what Bryson thinks of kisses…at least from his brother!

Thank you Tony and Suzanne!  I look forward to capturing Bryson’s first year!

Kobe is such a cutie but today he decided he wasn’t having his pictures taken and no amount of bribery was all that effective.  I did manage to get a few and I love this serious shot…

We did get one picture of him smiling with his mom…

And I love this picture where Kobe is playing with his grandma’s hair…so sweet…

This is the look I got a lot from Kobe…but he’s cute no matter what he is doing! 

Love this look too!

These girls are absolutely beautiful!

We got a lot of pictures of Lacey interacting with Kobe and those are always my favorite anyway…

They had poppers to bribe Kobe with and he got to do some of them throughout our session…I just had to capture that in a storyboard!

Thank you Lacey for getting your family together for pictures!  I enjoyed our time together.
