Overalls, Jerseys and a Bright Yellow Dress!

The weather seemed like it was not going to cooperate for our pictures for our morning session; however, we wait for about a half hour and then ran outside to beat anymore rain!  Momma brought sooo many cute outfits for Brady that I couldn't wait to start taking pictures!!  Also, Mr. B's daddy is a huge PATS fan, so it was only appropriate that he have some pictures in his PATS jersy.  And how cool to have a jersey with your very own name on it already??  His best friend Sydney came along to help with Brady and some pictures of her own!  It was fun jumping back and forth between a girl and boy!!!  Girly one minute - Manly another!  hahaha!  I had so much fun that morning!  Thanks so much for bringing the kids out Chrissy and Angie!! 

Mr. T -- Apples Anyone?

Mr. T's mom is a good friend of mine and we were going to be having dinner one evening.  I asked her if I could bring along my newest prop (yes, I am a prop junkie) and she said absolutely!!  hahaha!  We had about 8 minutes before dinner was ready and we ran outside really quick!  I don't think that Mr. T quite knew what was going on, but what a great sport he was!  I'm happy to say that we made it back inside in 8 minutes and we had a great meal together!  Thanks momma for letting me try out my new prop on your little cutie!!

Kyle + Kaity = Engaged!!!!

I LOVE "in love" ones!  Engagement sessions have sure changed from the "traditional" old school woman's hand on her future husbands chest, showing off the ring.  It's funny that the ring used to be the "highlight" of the picture.  Don't get me wrong - the ring is SURE important, but I LOVE that most of my clients want candid sessions - just them being them!  Kaity and Kyle were NO exception and I was so excited for their session!  I love it when they say - just run with it!  And that we did.  Funny thing is that mother nature was supposed to NOT cooperate that day, and I was happily surprised when I woke up that morning - sun a shinin!  I showed up about 15 minutes early to our session (as did they) and we started right away!  About half-way through the session Kyle's dad let him know that a huge storm was coming our way and we had about another hour.  Well, he then text back about 10/15 minutes later and said...ummmm...it's headed here much sooner!  hahaha!  So we scrambled to finish up and just as we did it started to lightly rain.  By the time we'd walked back to our cars the sky was brown as dirt, the wind was really beginning to pick up, and I thought to myself - WHOA - this is going to be quite a storm!  And it was!!  Luckily we all made it out AND we got some GREAT pictures during the time we had!  Thanks again Kaity and Kyle for the fun evening AND the fun memories!  Much love and luck to you both!

A Morning at the Park...Family Session

I was THRILLED when Mom contacted me to do a family session for them at Happy Hollow Park.  I LOVE that place and the weather had finally normalized where I knew it wouldn't be torture for everyone!  Plus - there were 5 kids!!!  I just LOVE meeting children and getting a glimpse into their personalities, and this family was amazing!!!  They ranged from 16 to 1, so there was quite a variety!!  Even though our session was during "nap"time for Mr. B - I think that we still got some great shots (and I'm a momma that loves even the crying ones at time because I often worry I'll forget how CUTE their crying was one day when they are crying because they don't want to do what they're told...hahaha)!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for letting me preserve some fun memories for you all!  It was SOOOO much fun!

My Beautiful Daughter is 4 months old already!!

I can hardly believe that my little Maycee Grace is already 4 months old!!  It just hardly seems real that 4 months has passed already!  Her progression pictures have gone from laying down with a lot of support to now (in just a few short months) she can sit up on her own with some support (::sniff:: ::sniff::)!  I thought the picture of her in the white tub expressed just how I feel - really, 4 months already?  hahaha!  Couldn't resist posting and sharing!  We are almost completely rolling over on our own too!  Which that means my motionless, bend me any which ways photo subject, is about to get really interesting to photograph!  And I'm going to love every minute of it!! :)

Family Session

I was so excited when a friend of mine had wanted to do her family pictures at the Battlefield.  I was thrilled that they had even brought along their 4 legged family memer!  I had been there previously, but really had NO idea how pretty it really was!!!  It was like a photographer's playground, and her family was SOO easy to photograph that I lost all track of time!  Thank goodness L was watching it because I could have kept going all day!  haha!  Thank you so much for trusting me to capture some nice family pictures for you all :)!  There are soooo many good pictures to choose from that it will be difficult to select which ones you want to print!  Can't wait to get together this winter for some winter pictures with this family!
