My kids are very close to their cousins so it was really fun to do this session.  These children belong to 4 sisters, 2 who live here and 2 who don’t so it was great to get them all together. 

Here are the lone boys of the group who also happen to be brothers…Marcus and Kyler…

And sisters Trinity and Jordan…

And another set of sisters, Payje, Laramey, and Jersie…

What a cute idea…loved it!

And one more of Jordan…what a pretty girl…

Thought this might make a fun storyboard…

What makes these pictures extra special is that they were taken at these kids’ great grandmother’s house.  Too cool!  I enjoyed my session with you guys!

What cute kids!  This is Kaylee with her toothless grin….I love it!

And this is Caleb…who has just the right amount of spunk and sparkle in his eyes…

And here’s new baby brother Lucas…

He looks so cozy…

What a cute bunch of kiddos…

This one shows just how much that sparkle in Caleb’s eye works for him…

And at mom’s request a feet picture…too cute!

Jessica it was so nice to meet your family….and you are all  in my thoughts and prayers after the recent loss of your father.  I cannot imagine what you going through.   I hope you can find some comfort in the memories you have with your dad.

What a sweet little boy!  Logan finally made it after we had to reschedule due him not feeling well…

I’m so glad I got to meet him!

Bare naked baby butts are so darn cute..

This is Logan’s monkey he is pretty attached to…

I love the way he is looking down at his hands in this one…

He was so happy during our time together….what a dream!

He just wanted to eat the old metal tub but I actually love this shot…all babies go through putting everything in their mouths…and this is a good reminder of that!

Thank you Miranda for allowing me to meet you sweet little boy!  I hope to see you again soon!

My good friend Ben got married Memorial Day weekend in Ord, NE.  It was REALLY windy and REALLY  hot!  Please bear with me while I post quite a few from their special day…There are 15 here out of over 400 that I edited!  No wonder my backside hurts!

I decided to use the stain glass in the church for the dress shot…Shawna didn’t even know I took these…I did them before she arrived…

This church had a balcony and I wanted to use it more than just for me to take pictures during the ceremony…

Very cool windows…

This is a cute shot of Shawna and her best girls!

Used another window for the shot of the rings…

They are so happy together and you can’t help but smile when you’re around them…well that and Ben is a total goof.  They are both teachers which is how I met Ben in the first place and teachers are very near and dear to my heart since everyone in my family is one…my mom, my dad, and my sister…

I never put a shot of the whole group on my blog…but this is quite a big group so I am proud to get them all in a photo and all smiling!

Another beautiful window…

I love when the minister turns the couple around for the kiss!  Makes for a much nicer photo!

You’re in the club Ben! 

The wind had calmed down some by the time the ceremony was over so we did get outside for a few…

This is my absolute favorite of the day…this one would make a really cool canvas!

Shawna’s dad was pretty serious during the family photographs before the wedding but he was all smiles when dancing with his daughter…

Aren’t they so cute…

Congratulations Ben and Shawna!  I wish you nothing but happiness in your new life together.  And you must be good friends because this is a record for me to get wedding photographs edited in just barely over a month!   Enjoy the rest of your summer!
