As a wife and mom of 5, I understand how important capturing those fleeting moments are. Making my clients feel comfortable in front of the lens, photographing priceless memories and building relationships with people in the process are my main goals.

2 Years!

6.12.10! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I married my best friend. It seems like yesterday. Thank you God for blessing me with Randy, I am forever grateful to you. We took this photo last year for our 1 year shoot ;)

I’ve enjoyed the nice little break I gave myself this past week. Although, I edited and blogged every day, it’s good to put down the camera every once and in while. I cleaned house, did laundry, lunched with friends, read for hours, went for a few runs and just enjoyed having more time in my day. For so long all I knew how to do was rush rush rush to make sure I got everything done. Slowly, I’m learning to let go of the fast paced lifestyle. I’ve truly enjoyed having some weekend time off lately, too. Life is good!

 

Caden :: 3 Years

Caden has the cutest little personality! Loved his fireman rain jacket, umbrella, cool sunglasses, beach wear, etc! He rocked his session :) This is SUCH a fun age to photograph and I wish I was able to capture this age more often. They aren’t toddlers anymore and not yet too old to want to have their picture taken. Love when they HAM it up! I had a great time with Caden for his session! (Minus my camera’s shutter breaking when I first began the shoot… thank goodness for backup cameras!!!)

Jude :: 1 Year

I had a great time photographing Jude for his 1 Year Photos! He was dressed in the most adorable little outfits! His 1st Birthday theme was “Pancakes & Pajama’s”, so we finished up his session with PJ’s and big stack of colored pancakes. LOVED this session and the creativity with the Pancakes instead of a Smash cake. Great Job, Mama!! These were taken at Rivertown Park. Jude could be the Gerber Baby… so handsome! Check out that blonde hair and those blue eyes!!

Here are some of my favs:

Grant :: 6 Months

I photographed this little cutie last week for his 6 month session! Mommy & Daddy hopped in for a few, too :) Grant has the most precious dimples. Loved his outfits, too! His Mom, Lindsey came with some really cute ideas… the overalls & watermelon and the block trucks! Looking forward to watching Grant grow and change even more over the upcoming sessions :)

Greyson :: 6 Months

Greyson smiled for almost every single photo that I took during his session last week. For 6 months, he surely has a little personality :) I loved his outfits! Thanks to his Mommy and Daddy for both coming along to help him ham it up in front of the camera! Love this little area in Rivertown, perfect for this age!
