Little Sister

My little sister is all grown up!! This is her final week of high school!! :(  I'm a little sad about this!  I have always had a special connection with her.  I have her back, ALWAYS!  She has grown into a BEAUTIFUL young woman!  Its hard to believe this small little tom-boy has grown into this amazing woman!

We had so much fun doing her senior pictures!  They all turned out so great, its hard to pick a favorite!
She has an amazing future!  She got a full scholarship for golf!!!  I know she will do great in everything she does.  I will always be here for her and I am her number 1 fan!

I am beyond proud of you Whitney!  I love you very much!
Congratulations and I am so excited for your future adventures!

My Boys

My life is finally slowing down a little and I am almost caught up on my editing!  I have Summer and Justin's wedding approaching and i am so excited!  Its a beautiful location with beautiful people! 

As a photographer, having kids is so fun!  There is always something new and adorable to photograph.  I have been so busy the last few months, i have not been able to photograph my kids much.  So this month i am going to photograph them a ton!
It amazes me how different my two boys are!  They are complete opposites!

Bryson has always been a mommy's boy!  Since day 1 he only wanted me, he would not go to anyone!  I loved it!! He is full of attitude and very shy at first!  He seems to be just like his mom! He is such a picky eater, hates getting dirty, and he wants mommy or daddy to snuggle with him in bed while he goes to sleep.  He is the SWEETEST kid.  He tells Brady and I "love you to the moon and back" at least 20 times a day, constintly hugging and kissing us, says "please and thank you" for everything!  He is going to make an amazing husband to one lucky lady one day because he truly shows his love all the time!

Brody is my little indepentent boy!  He has been a daddy's boy (unless he is sick). He is my tall and skinny kid (only 8% in weight) who eats everything all day!!!  He doesnt like me to feed him, he has to do it on his own.  He is always happy and will go to anyone! Brody can be covered in dirt or food and he could care less! He will not sleep good unless he is in his bed. He does not like to go to sleep with anyone, just alone in his bed!  He thinks he is a big boy!  He has always been a happy baby and has been so fun for us!  He totally takes after his dad!  He is already goofy and laughs at everything!  He has the best personality!  I am so happy he is just like his dad, Brady is an amazing, funny man and i am so excited to have a son just like him!

Bryson and Brody are already best friends!!  It makes me so happy to see them playing together!  We had them so close together because I wanted them to grow up with a best friend/brother!

Over the next month, I am really going to focus on capturing how unique each of them are!  I want to really display how different they are and their true personality!  I am going to be trying some new things and techniques.  I am SO excited to share these photos with you and hopefully the opportunity to capture you beautiful children as well!







I have also decided that i am starting a journal/photo books for the boys.  It is going to have all of the fun times, hard times, and fun pictures!  It will be different than their normal photo book.  I will be talking directly to them!  I think it will be a great gift to give my boys when they have their first child!  I cant wait to get started on it!

Don't forget my May special: Free hard cover photo book with your session!

Busy Busy!

The last week has been so busy! I finally have a few moments to catch up! 
My sweet Brody turned one on Saturday!! I can not believe it has been a year! He is such a blessing!  Such a happy boy!! He is always smiling! Brody had a baseball themed party.  I try really hard to be a great mother!  I want to give my kids great party's and their day to be perfect. BUT i really fell short this time! It really upsets me when i feel like i could of done better.  Trying to find a balance between kids and photography has been hard! My life has been so busy, the party just snuck up on me!  Just a few days before the party, i started running around trying to get everything ready!  I was crazy the day of the party because i was not prepared!! The party turned out ok, but he had a great day!  That is the most important thing!

Sweet Birthday Boy


                             
Brody has been sick for the last month with allergies and stomach bugs. A couple days before his birthday, he starting feeling a little better and his eyes looked pretty good.  They have been very red and swollen.  So i ran out and did some of his one year photos (very quickly)!  I hoping to do a "real" shoot with him soon!
It was the middle of the day and we were under direct sunlight, but i did get some cute ones!




I have done several senior pictures.  I will post previews of them soon!

I have a big request... please keep the Sullivan and Mullen family in your prayers!  They are a sweet family i met a few weeks back!  I had a great shoot with them, beautiful family!  They have had an amazing, emotional, and scary week!  Their father had a heart transplant.  From what i hear, he is doing very well!!!  Please Pray that he continues to improve! He is a very strong man and i know his family is very proud of him!  Please pray hard for him! 

I have a GREAT  special going on this month.  Email me if you would like details and want to schedule a shoot!
