Senior Cousin

She's "UCLA" bound and she's my cousin! We had an adventure...but she survived! She was a good sport throughout the process...even when I was being silly to get her laughing! I haven't loaded the pictures of her standing in the middle of a creek yet, but if they turn out...I'll post them as well! )

STELLAR 'S'

This is my cousin's dear friend who wanted to take her senior pictures with me, too! :) We fought the elements...wind, sun and attack geese, but we survived. This was a fun photo shoot because Sam and 'S' shared an appointment and even jumped in for a few 'friend' shots. I loved listening to their bantering back and forth...it was a fierce competition to see who could out 'model' the other! I think it's a tie! They were both amazing!

ENJOY!!

Sam. I. Am.

My curly-q cousin is a senior. This certainly made me feel old. Lately, I haven't feel that old when I take senior pictures, but today was quite different. She's all grown up with adult goals and a direction in life. She is still a silly kid and we certainly have the same sense of humor. (It runs in the family.) Anyhow, she's all grown up and looking as adorable as ever! Her personality certainly shines through in these!! I hope you like them, kid! :)

Did I happen to mention she's going to college on a running scholarship!?

Gorgeous!

'T,' you were such a trooper! I'm so glad that the weather held up for us because you rocked the shoot. These are amazing! You looked beautiful. I hope you and your mom had as much fun as I did. Even sitting in a broken window frame, with glass and bugs...you were still smiling! Hopefully you think that all your hard work paid off. I do.

Boy Trouble

WOW.

Another senior with brains AND beauty! "J" is headed to Loyola in the fall to become a teacher!! (Great choice, by the way!) It was fun hanging out with you this afternoon...I really enjoyed taking these! You are a natural in front of the camera!! Enjoy the 'sneak peak!'

Beautiful "R"

She's got it all. Brains. Good looks. Personality. Mr. and Mrs. Y., you have done an amazing job! It was such a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you and take these pictures. I hope these are what you are looking for. Even while I 'proof' these pictures, I still see a little girl with glasses, no older than five...then suddenly, on my computer screen, she's all grown up.

I think this is a case where the pictures can speak better than my own words.

I hope you enjoy!!

365 Days

Time flies! It's been a while since I've posted any pictures and now I'm going to post 6! Enjoy the newest of Mr. Eli...MY BIG NEPHEW!! :)

D & R - Ready for Christmas!

D & R were great sports when they had their Christmas pictures taken on Wednesday. They were really fun and well behaved (always a plus) and they photograph PERFECTLY well! I'm not going to put up the "real good" pictures of them together...we will save those for your card. However, here is a sneak peak of a few good ones we got! I hope you like them! The kids were great!! Hopefully we can do an outdoorsy one this summer and really have them let loose. That would be a riot!! :) Thanks again!!

The Divine Miss "M"

Here she is! In all her glory and only about 6 months old, Miss "M" was certainly not afraid to smile (when the camera was not in her face) and she definitely loved her momma and daddy...especially daddy's fun noises!! I hope you enjoy the pictures. It was a pleasure to finally meet you!! Thanks for coming to see me! :)
