Nic: Senior Session

I had the pleasure of capturing Nic for his senior photos. I had a great time with Nic and his sister. It was interesting and funny at the same time listening to his sister trying to get Nic to smile bigger and telling him where to postion his body. To my surprise, it was my little Morgan who got Nic to open up and show those teeth...maybe I should bring her more often! Enjoy!

Little Latane!

I will be featuring two photo shoots for this posting. They both consist of the same people, but just in a different way. My good friend was pregnant and the day she gave birth, we were able to sneak in a photo shoot! So the first session is with baby in the tummy and then the second is with baby born!!






















Welcome Latane! She is such a precious little lamb and is loved very much. I had the opportunity to capture her while her mom and I, had coffee and visited. I couldn't resist pulling out my camera, what with my new hard wood floors and her beautiful skin, it just made an afternoon, full of creativity! I wish that we had more time to take photos...hopefully soon!

I am sure you will see more of Latane throughout this year!

Karla: Senior Session

Its that time of the year!!! Fall is my favorite time of the year; Senior photos to family ones, all are so fun with the wonderful colors of Fall. What a beautiful girl Karla is and how blessed I feel to be able to capture her as a Senior. It was such a wonderful day when we met. Beautiful light and awesome backdrops to accent her and her smile! Thank you so much Karla!

Meet the Martins!

Good Morning everyone! I am so excited to share with you the photo shoot of the Martin fam! We had a great time, taking photos at their lake house on Detroit Lake. What a beautiful scene it was, with the lake and mountains in the background. Their little one was full of energy giving us some great looks along the way.
Hope you enjoy!



















Stacie's side of the family, jumped in for a few photos






PS...lots of blogging is coming your way by yours truly! Business has picked up, so look forward to that

The Burlingame Family

I had a wonderful time shooting the Burlingame family! There little guy gave such a show with his facial expressions. I had to pull out all the stops to find a smile from his. I am sure that other people in the park thought there was something strange going on when they heard my crazy sounds just so that I could get his attention. Rhodidendrian Gardens is where we met up, and let me tell you, it was such a beautiful setting for family photos. I cant wait to go back there!

Thank you so much Burlingame family for letting me capture you and your beautiful smiles!

The shot of the day!

Morgan has yet again been the victim of posing for another photo shoot. My father-in-law has a wonderful living room with beautiful wood floors and huge windows that let in tons of morning light. My mother-in-law requested a photo, with Morgan in the nude laying on white fluffy fabric, which is what got me to do the shoot in the first place (although I really dont need an excuse to take pictures of my precious baby girl). i thought i would show you the pic of the day in color and in black and white.

Which way do you like it? write in your opinion.... I will post more of the shoot soon!

The first of many - The Lanes Family

This past Sunday, I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with the Lanes...the whole clan!! It was a joy to witness their love for each other by watching them interact with their little ones as well as with each other. Soooo, this afternoon I was able to down load (after tracking down my power cord for my computer) all 800 photos that I took during their 1 hour session on to my lap top. I knew this was going to take a while to edit (and re-edit again), so I started on the first of many. I thought I would share them with all of you because I am SO EXCITED about all of them. You will die when you get a look at their adorable children!! I cant wait to get started on the rest of the photos and once they are done, I will share them with you!

The Best Job!

Morgan is now almost 4 months old and is doing great!! She is changing everyday and I thank God that so far HE has provided a way for me to watch her grow 24/7. It is the best job ever!

Close to the heart

It was my father-in-laws birthday last weekend, so for his present, I took him and his children and Morgan (my baby; his grandchild) out for a family photo shoot. We had a great time, scouting out places that sparked interest. Some were a little crazy but the photos turned out great!

Happy Birthday Brian!!
