Family Shoot in my field

I'm starting to feel like this field is my studio:) I sure hope no one decides to ever build on it.

This adorable family was great. Their daughter was a pretty busy little girl but loved to pose and work it for the camera and their son...well just look at him, ADORABLE!

Enjoy your sneak peek!


























We took a chance

on the weather. It kind of rained on and off all day and was raining on my side of town. The stables are about 15 minutes away though so we thought what the heck...let's give it a try. I'm really glad we did because we had the perfect amount of time while there. The one horse that was out cooperated (he's always a nosy little thing) and one of the barn cats wanted to be included in the photo shoot...so cute!

I had a little challenge while there because my camera decided to stop focusing so I had to manually focus. It's quite challenging chasing a one-year-old, changing camera settings to adjust for light, or to get the affect that you want, etc..., and then to have to manually focus. I was pretty upset on the way home thinking that now is just not a good time to have to buy a new camera (or possibly it's the lens?) but since then it's only done that sporadically. Any other photogs out there had this issue??

I'll have some more sneak peeks up today if you're waiting:)

Family Shoot

It was great meeting up with this family because I actually knew both of them way back when. Before they were married and before kids. They have 2 adorable boys that loved being at the park exploring. We decided that they almost liked our location choice a little too much...we were having trouble getting their attention:) I hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek. It was great seeing you again:)

3 girls and a guy

Poor guy...he was the only male in the group of cousins. This was another family group that had me laughing so hard! They were a riot with each other. Enjoy your sneak peek guys!






























House Photo Shoot

We decided to do this family photo shoot at their home which is nice because it makes the pictures more personable to their life. Their daughter loves knock-knock jokes and thinking back it cracks me up because we were coming up with some of the craziest jokes to keep her attention. They didn't have to make sense...that's the beauty of it because I certainly wasn't able to change camera settings and come up with jokes that made sense at the same time.

I think she has the most gorgeous brown eyes.

2009 Calendar Gift & family shoot

I'm in love with this calendar. I had one printed just to see what it looks like in person and it's adorable. You pick your favorite 13 pictures from your photo shoot and I'll design the calendar and have it printed and ready to go in the frame. These are great for Christmas gifts!(Grandparents would LOVE these) Just switch out each month to a new picture in the stand-up frame or add these to a 5x7 album and give it as a gift...really cute! These sell for $50.




















This nice family knew exactly what they wanted...the couch in the field. Makes it easy on me and I love that. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

So Excited...

to catch a newborn smile. We had to be really still and quiet for minutes at a time but his mom knew that as soon as he gets still and is drifting off to dreamland that he starts smiling. Isn't he adorable??!!
