Olivia - Class of 2011

When you live in a small town and never leave, you'll eventually meet everyone or they may already know YOU! :) Olivia and her family have known people in my family for a LONG time. I just had the privilege of meeting them this week! {You guys were great!!} Olivia is a budding fashionista and a fantastic subject to photograph! All of her pictures look amazing and it was quite hard to pick my favorites for the blog!

Thanks again, 'M' family for driving us around town! I had a wonderful time! It was great to finally meet you!! :)

Miss "B"

I've never done a First Communion pictures before, so this was my first attempt! :) Since the weather was sooo crazy this spring, we opted for an indoor and more traditional session. We didn't fare too badly, considering we were done in less than 30 minutes. Miss B went to school with my son almost 5 years ago and just became a big sister for the first time this past week!! What a big week for their family!! Congratulations on the First Communion and the new baby boy!! I can't wait to meet him! :)

Owen - 6 Days Old

I have ANOTHER nephew!! He made a surprise debut on Christmas Eve morning!

Meet Owen John, who joins big brother Eli and big sister Abby...Tim and Natalie's third child in 2.5 years!! This was a two-day photo extravaganza. Owen was not too excited to have his pictures taken on day 1, but day 2 proved to be much easier!! Thank goodness!! I would have hated to miss out on all his newborn goodness!!

Dickens in Dundee - 2010

Did you come by this December for Dickens in Dundee?? It's the craziest day of the year, but when we realize how many people look forward to their pictures with Santa, it makes it all worthwhile.

The best part of my night??

Taking THIS picture. My favorite!!

Yep. We had a screaming good time! Be sure to stop by next year!!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this night possible!!

Michelle - Class of 2011

Meet Michelle.

Another senior I've had the honor of 'shooting.'

I am LOVING taking pictures of seniors...especially when they are as fun and pretty as her!

How can you go wrong?!
All of them turned out amazing and we took over 400 pictures!

I've got a tough job ahead of me to pick my favorites!

Thanks for being up for anything today! You looked amazing!

Thank you to Robin, too, for your referral!!

Kelsey - Class of 2011

I had the privilege of touring the town with Kelsey and her mom this past week. She loves dance, so we tried to get creative and show off her ballerina side. I think we had GREAT success in doing so!! Here are a few of my favorites!! She was a DELIGHT to spend time with and I'm sure she's going to make a GREAT elementary teacher in 4 years!!

Thanks, C FAMILY!! :)

Did you happen to notice her AMAZING blue eyes!!??

WOW!!

Ryan - Class of 2011

This is Ryan. I knew him when he was just a baby...and now he's graduating from high school. It's hard to believe how quickly time really does pass. He certainly has turned into a very polite and TALL young man! Thanks so much for spending your Sunday afternoon with your mom and I! You did great!! Enjoy your sneak peek!!

Cinnamon & Sugar

Can you tell that she didn't want her picture taken?!

Miss J was only 6 days old, weighing in just under 7 pounds and looked like a doll! For the first two and a half hours she fought as hard as she could to avoid having her picture taken...

That was until we forced her into exhaustion and won the battle!

Thanks so much, A & J, for sticking it out with me tonight! It was great meeting you! Enjoy the sneak peek!! Your daughter is GORGEOUS!!

-GUS-

This is Gus. I took his sister's senior pictures a few years ago. Today was his turn! I knew he wasn't too excited about having his picture taken, but I must admit...you can't tell from the pictures. He faked it well! :)

Thank you so much, Becky and Craig, for choosing me again! I am so grateful for your kind words and free advertising! I appreciate all you've done to help spread my name around town!! :)

ENJOY!

Baby G

Baby G and I did NOT get a long to well tonight.

After a long battle (3 hours) we gave in and called it a night.

Not before I captured this....

...and this. (Just for her Grandpa!)

Thanks G & J for making the long trek and all your trust and patience!!
