I’ve known JJ since the day he was born…can’t believe he is going to graduate this year!

I think this is the shot JJ was hoping for…we tromped out quite a ways into this field to get close to some cows…

JJ is very country…which I love about him!

I cannot believe I am even posting this one with his yucky TEXAS tshirt on so I will just have to say GO HUSKERS!!!!!!

Here’s one on the ranch…

The wheat was just about ready and looking great when we took these…

And my favorite…

Thanks Jami, Mary, Mandi, and especially you JJ…we got so many more shots than just the one good one you were hoping for so you could be done!  LOL  Good luck with your senior year!

I took Sawyer’s newborn pictures not very long ago and I had the pleasure of taking photographs of the whole family…

What cute sisters!

Just love Kennedy’s smile…she has a sparkle in her eye and I’m a little partial to little girls with sparkles in their eyes!

MaKayla is such a beauty…

I love this shot…I was trying to get Kennedy to move her chin down so I was putting my hand on my chin and pulling down on it to show her so she did just exactly what I did…too cute!!!

And one more of her wonderful smile!!

Thank you again Todd and Nicole!  Your girls are wonderful!!

I wanted to post Katie’s slideshow now that I have it done!  Enjoy!!

I am still working on Katie’s senior slideshow to post but these will do for now. 

Katie is the most impatient person I know so she was really glad when I got these done!  I know her pretty well since our exchange student Shelby is good friends with her so I can say that about her and get away with it!

The people across the road were really wondering why in the world we would take pictures in front of this old, falling down building so we just had to giggle and keep on shooting!  I think Katie’s mom was wondering the same thing…

Katie really wanted picture at Lake Mac and we had a perfect evening for them…well once we actually found some beach!

The sunset could not have been more fabulous! 

I love all of your pictures Katie!

Phew…I have made this family wait way too long for these but I am finally done!  This is a huge family and definately the biggest group I have ever taken pictures of. 

In addition to the huge group…it was REALLY sunny out at 9 am this morning which severely limited the number of spots in Chappell where we could take a picture and we all know I couldn’t fit half this many people in my tiny basement studio!

This is a cute picture of this set of siblings.  Dani was getting married the next day which is why the whole family was together…

And another set of siblings…who all have very long legs!

I love the turquoise against the white building…

This little girl was not impressed in the least with pictures…but it was right during her nap time so completely understandable!

And this is one of the granddaughters and her husband who are expecting their first child this fall…

Thank you Johnson family…mostly for being so patient with me!

What a cutie!  This is Ashlynn…

I was in love with the fabric in her dress…

Blocks always work!  Kids love them!!

A personal favorite…

So cute…I love how she is showing me her blocks!  Sometimes I wish that darn camera wasn’t in front of my face because I love interacting with kids…

Had to try out the tutu…

And we even got outside for a few…

Another personal favorite from the session…

It was nice to meet you Crystal and Ashlynn!  Thank you for coming down for photos!

I LOVE this baby!  He was soooo good and his mom was worried since he has reflux that he might not be too happy but he was a dream! 

Maybe he knew that I had 2 babies with reflux so it is just like normal to me…

Here is Cooper’s great big brother Brayden…he is such a great helper!

He was just so stinkin’ good…and cute!  Even when his eyes were open he was very mellow and just chilled out while I took shot after shot…

Mom’s kisses are always the best!

So cute…and so cooperative…I could have gone another hour with him…

He didn’t even mind when we folded him in half!

And his birth announcement…

Thank you Tracy and Sabine.  Your little guy is so precious!  It was really nice to meet you!

I traveled to Parker’s future home in the country to take these pictures.  He wasn’t too sure about me and of all days to forget the Smarties…I could have used them!

He gave me a few smiles…as long as I didn’t get too close…

Cute family photograph…

So curious at this age…he would have much rather been crawling on the tractor or getting in with the cows than paying attention to that silly lady with the camera…

Just love the look on his face in this one like he wasn’t sure if we were going to let him play with that or not!

And a sweet shot of Parker and his Mommy…

Thank you Jay and Shauna!  Good luck getting moved into your new home and I hope you enjoy life in the country.

Marjorie was my first 2011 senior and what a way to start!  She is a beautiful girl and I got carried away and edited way more than I normally do because it was so hard to choose.  I went ahead and did a video for hers since there are so many and then I will just post a few.

Here are a few of my favorites…

And a storyboard to share…

Good luck with your senior year Marjorie!

I’ve been playing around with some video slideshows and I am loving them!  I am going to offer slideshows similar to this one soon.  I’m going to try them out first with all of my senior sessions.  I think I will offer them for free after spending $500 on an order or they can be purchased with orders less than that.  There is a way to get them burned onto discs which will be available and also they are great to post to facebook pages, etc.  It will be a way to be able to view all of the pictures from a session.  I can do them for past sessions as well.  More details will follow as we figure things out.  Enjoy!
