Avery is 6 months already!

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Avery is on my baby plan and she just gets cuter and cuter every time I see her…

I’m a sucker for big brown eyes…

Love the expression on this little flower’s face…

Looks like she was waving at mom in this one…

Pink and brown is one of my favorite color combinations for little girls…

Wow…those eyes…

It was so nice to see you again Taren and “catch up”.  See you when Avery turns one!

Teah and Brendin

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Teah has been here before and this time I got to meet her little brother Brendin…

She is such a good big sister…

This one might be my favorite…

Such a cute little smile…she was the perfect subject.

She even had a little supermodel action!

Loving Brendin’s eyes…

Thank you so much Rick and Erin for coming back again to see me.  You have beautiful children!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been having some major issues with my email.  I am receiving emails (…I think) but when I respond sometimes they send and sometimes they don’t but I have no way of knowing if they really have or not.  Sometimes emails through my website go into junk email boxes as well.  Anyone who knows me very well knows that I am not highly organized and sometimes it takes me days to return phone calls but I am usually better about responding to an email so if you have sent me one and haven’t heard back from me, first check your junk mail and if there isn’t a response there, contact me again and I will try and resend my response.  I apologize for the inconvenience.  And because a post without a picture is just boring…this is my Mother’s Day present…a picture with my kiddos…I will cherish it forever!  It might have to become a Mother’s Day tradition. 

Baby Kennedy

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

Baby Kennedy has arrived!  I took Macey’s newborn pictures and several since then so I’m really excited to photograph her new little sister…

What a proud big sister…

It took us a while to get Kennedy to sleep…she loves to eat…not that you can tell by these skinny little legs…

I am in love with this shot…might need this one hanging in my studio…

What a sweetie pie…

I’m sure Derick was tired of driving Macey around town by the time we were done but we ended up with some really cute shots…

And a smile…

Thank you Derick and Melissa.  You have adorable girls!

Favorites!

This has been one of my very favorite sessions ever!  I have been taking pictures for this family since Kelly was pregnant with Bailey and they have been very loyal wonderful customers.  We get to start on Baby Plan #2 now and I’m soooo excited!

There are so many favorites I couldn’t choose just a few…

These are Bailey’s 3 year pictures as well as maternity pictures so we took a ton of this cute little thing!

This shot is very similar to the one that Kelly ordered as a big canvas…I almost didn’t want to give it to her…I would have hung it on my wall…I just love it!

This is on my favorite shots of the session…

Bailey is going to be such a good big sister.

What a sweet little face…

This one just cracks me up…

This is also one of my favorites…

This was Kelly’s idea and Bailey was totally into it!

Thank you so much Matt and Kelly!  I can’t wait to meet your new little girl!

Kellen and Marin

Friday, May 6th, 2011

This family has been a client of mine since Kellen was 6 months old and I have really enjoyed getting to know them…

Which is why I am VERY sad that they have moved back to Michigan!

Oh those eyelashes…

Kellen has always been full of spirit, words and songs!

I love the bright colors in these next few…

These were Marin’s 1 year pictures…how time flies…

After they left I went in my office and had a really good cry.  I was so touched when Bethany asked me when we were done if she could take a picture of me with her girls because I have been their photographer for so long.  I never really even thought about it that way and I am so grateful that I can make an impact on people’s lives…I know that I do that in my other job of working with disabled children, but I had never thought about making an impact as a photographer…so thank you Bethany for making me feel so special.  I am truly honored to have been a part of your lives.  Good luck back home in Michigan.  I’m certain you will be so happy back with your families.

Doug and Shaunna

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

Doug and Shaunna are getting married this summer and I had the pleasure of taking their engagement photos…

I just love these next two family shots…

Doug doens’t look happy at all that Shaunna will be his bride!

Maddie is quite the character…she had me laughing the entire session!

Love this black and white…

….and one more of Maddie…she would have posed all day for me!

Congratulations Doug and Shaunna!  Good luck with the rest of your wedding planning!

Love this family!

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

Here is one of my favorite families…they have really helped me out with some business things and I am forever grateful to them…

I also love the Chadron State gear…I’m proud to say I did my undergraduate studies at Chadron State and had some of the best times of my life there. 

Shots like this just make my day…

Too funny…

Daniel is such a sweetie…I’m sure he will grow up to be a very sensitive young man since he is growing up with 3 sisters…my little brother is pretty sensitive and sentimental and we always think having 2 older sisters may have had something to do with that…

Too cute!  If you remember back a while, I took Daniel’s newborn pictures laying in this very glove and then we took his picture with the glove again along the way.  I can’t wait to put that storyboard together…when I do get that done I will be sure to post it. 

Thank you Jay and Carrie.  I enjoy you guys so much and always can’t wait until the next time!

Kaylee and Damon

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

Kaylee and Damon’s mom brought them for pictures and we got some great shots of the three of them.  Seems fitting that with Mother’s Day coming up that I finally get these posted…

This mom has so much fun with her kids…

Kaylee is such a pretty girl…

She was perfect for our session! 

I absolutely adore this picture…Kaylee looks so sad for her brother…

Damon did get happier and we got some cute shots of him too…

Love the shots that show wonderful interactions like this one…

Thank you Meghan for bringing your kiddos to see me!  They are wonderful!

Aidan is one!

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

I’ve been taking Aidan’s pictures since he was an infant and have had fun watching him grow over the past year. 

So darn cute and I love his birthday shirt!

I just love his eyes.

Looking away from the camera always end up being the sweetest shots…

This might be my favorite birthday cake shot ever…he was LOVING the frosting…

And his storyboard…

Thanks Jean for being a Baby Plan customer.  You have an adorable little boy!
