First Birthday Fun!!

I can't even start explaining how much fun and how sweet this little birthday boy was! We had so much fun dressing him up and changing scenes with him so we could have a montage of images for his first birthday. Even the dog, Dixie, got into the action with Gavin for his birthday fun :) We decided to do the session broken up into two days so we would make sure that we had him in a good mood the whole time. Which not only did it work great, but I got to know this wonderful family even more! I just feel so honored to know that his mommy choose me to bring the ideas that she wanted for his birthday to life :) Happy Birthday Gavin!!

Smith Children

So everytime that we scheduled this session, it rained. Not once, but twice on us. We finally said you know what, lets beat the weather and do it indoors. This is not the first time I had shot this family, so I think it gave me some familiarity with them. We had some much fun, and I got to see her finally break out of her shell a little bit and have some fun. Especially when I broke out the dress up clothes :) We had a lot of fun with the outfit changes! I can't wait to have more fun with them again soon!

Sherman Halloween

I think this was the happiest lamb that I have ever shoot! She was so playful and so cute. She also loved our big orange pumpkin that she held onto it for dear life!! I am very thankful that I got to photograph such an adorable little girl!

Scott & Chester

There is nothing cuter in the world, than a boy and his dog. When I was asked to do this shoot, I was so excited, because I couldn't wait to see what sort of "classic" pictures that we could get with the two of them.
They were both so much fun, Chester at first was a little over excited at the begining, but with my husband's help and a little coaching, we got some great pictures of the two of them together. It took a lot of sweat, but I think the pictures turned out great. Scott was so good and patient. Even when Chester thought he should be in the pictures alone, Scott was patient and waited for us to calm him down. It was a lot of fun :)

Reese Boys

I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing these two boys at Burke Lake. They had so much fun riding the train and riding the carousel! They were two very cute boys and the youngest followed his older brothers lead in everything!

Girls Day Out

We decided to do a girls day when we did this shoot. Mom and daughter had fun just kicking back and relaxing, playing on the docks and on the swings. It was a lot of fun, and just watching them interact together, I got to take so many pictures. You could tell that this mom and daughter have a strong bond, and everytime they looked at each other they would smile!
