smorgasbord of pretty people

September 30, 2008

more pretty people and another long post from yours truly. enjoy!

first, we have j & d’s engagement session…can’t wait to photograph their wedding in a few weeks…

next up, super cute girls galore…

and last, to balance out the girls, we have this darling little guy and his family…

don’t know what your little girl should wear to her photo shoot? you want something different, unique, and so stinkin cute that you just can’t stand it? i have three words for you…jenni jackson clothing.

i am SO excited to be working with the amazingly talented desinger, jenni jackson. you can check out her full clothing line on her website, but i just couldn’t help but post a few of the pictures from our shoot (ok…a few more than a few).

oh…and rumor has it that boy clothing is a possibility in the near future…



monster of a post

September 24, 2008

yup. this is one gigantic monster of a post. this tends to occur when i don’t post often enough. so humor me and keep on scrolling down…and down some more…and finally, a little more, and you may just reach the end of this post. these are from three sessions and a wedding from this last week…

i sure hope mommy has a sense of humor because i couldn’t resist posting this picture with her finger jammed right up that tiny nostril!

newborn…

September 18, 2008

i don’t get it. was there a sign up sheet last year to order a newborn for fall of 2008? i’m telling you…it is prime time baby season here…and i’m loving it! you all know i love newborns dearly, so i’ll stop writing and share a few pics of my newest little friend…




my little bro…MARRIED

September 18, 2008

my smile is huge as i type this because i am just so stinkin happy for my little brother and his new wife! they are truly perfect together and i am so thrilled to have her in our family!

they were married in august and i am just now able to start working on their pictures…eek! yes, the groom is lacking in these pictures, but that just gives me a good excuse to post more from their wedding soon!

i love you brett and jessica and CONGRATULATIONS!!!



need your opinion…

September 16, 2008

yes…i love seniors…it’s no secret. this senior was up for anything…even tromping through weeds taller than her in bare feet and enveloping darkness…thanks for the fun night!



ok…i need some opinions…for my next dark and moody pictures…do you prefer warm or cool?


rain, rain go away

September 15, 2008

seriously. go away rain. coming from arizona where i never saw a drop of rain, i should be grateful for rain…and i am…but not when it rains for two days straight!

oh well, life goes on and so do my sessions. although i had to cancel two outdoor sessions this weekend, i still had the privilege to photograph a family whose mother and grandmother was celebrating her 80th birthday party! happy birthday!!! here are a few shots from that rainy, rainy day…




and last, i wanted to share a few pics from a recent session with my super cute little neighbor. these are for his mother who has been waiting VERY patiently for pics of her cutie…



weekend fun…and monday too

September 9, 2008

you know i am behind on sneak peeks when i get emails that say things such ” do you have a peek i can see? i’m not good at waiting to open presents at christmas either.” or perhaps, “i just can’t wait…i am such an eager beaver!” or maybe my favorite yet…”if i blog stalk you for one more second, my house, husband, and kids are going to fire me.”

haha! here are your peeks my wonderful friends.

friday evening…



saturday morning (i sure hope the parents of these two beauties can tell them apart because i sure couldn’t!)…





saturday afternoon…


and last but not least, we end with monday evening. this little one is 19 months old and (i swear) has the vocabulary of a four year old. hmmm…what does that say for my 16 month old with a ten word vocabulary? i’d better get crackin…


babies and bellies

September 4, 2008

a newborn and an almost newborn. a baby and a belly. a tiny one and a bun in the oven.

call them what you want, but these two sessions were fabulous! check it out…

what a sweet, sweet newborn. anyone who has tried to get a newborn to look directly at them knows it just DOESN’T happen. and LOOK…she is looking right at me! i swear she is even waving at me…


next, check out this hot mama-to-be (technically, she already is a mama, but still, she’s hot)…




d.c. and babies

September 2, 2008

d.c. and babies…nothing to do with each other, but it makes a nice title.

here’s the d.c. part…we just got back from washington d.c. over labor day weekend and had so much fun. this was our first experience in our nation’s great capitol, so we took in all of the sights. one of highlights of the trip for the kids was the air vent we found next to the Washington Monument. go figure.


ok, moving on the babies part…here’s a little sneak peek from a session last week. OH MY GOSH. can you believe the cuteness? he was a real charmer…
