Sisters

Loved these girls. Sweet sisters!

Twins

Friends. Playmates. Kindred Spirits. Siblings. Twins. It was the end of the session when I caught these last few pictures. They wanted to play in the dirt. I love kids that like to play in the dirt. This is how life is suppose to be lived.  Carefree, fun, and shared with a best friend.  

Little Z

I am a little behind on my editing. Here is little Z, she is an absolute doll.

More Workshop Pictures

This little guy was ADORABLE. He was so fun and a little sassy by the end.  He was so much fun and such a handsome guy.

Amazing Photography Workshop

My inspiration comes from so many things.  I love to see my Autumn playing with her doll or animal. My Olivia dancing around as a ballerina. I get inspiration from flowers, nature, old rusty looking doors, chipped stools, barns, lighting, animals...really from everything I encounter. I also get my inspiration from other photographers. Amazing Skye Hardwick from Work of Heart Photography was in town for a workshop I attended. It was beyond amazing. I learned new business type things, and she introduced me to some new vendors (more great things coming soon). She also talked to us a lot about inspiration. Her work inspires me within itself, but she shared so much about how to find my own inspiration from within. Did I mention how great it was? I really needed this workshop in my life, it was perfect timing with everything I have been going through in the past number of months.  

We also had the time to do a photo session with about 16 different children. It was SO fun!  You all know how much I love kids and it was so fun to get to know so many at one time and take their pictures. I will post some of my favorites over the next couple of days.

Newborn Isaiah

Back in August we did family and maternity pictures for a beautiful family who serves our country in the military and as civilian military support. Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing their newest edition.

Daddy flew home from Iraq in time for the birth, but he had to return within days after his son being born. This momma is not only Army strong, but Momma strong too...


Hey Daddy, I have a message for you!



He had other things on his mind besides getting his picture taken...

This is an example of me playing with selective coloring. I want to make it clear that this is not consistent with the normal style of photography editing we do. I am being a little edgy and playful. I have to be honest, Nicole, my business partner hates selective coloring and I like to play with edits a little too much.

Since M is wearing a blue sweater and she had a baby boy, I was being cheesy and selected the blue coloring and said: "It's a boy!"

Praying Mantis

I am not known for my love of insects, snakes or spiders of any kind. There are a couple insects which are okay, one of them is the praying mantis. They are just cool looking. The fact that they look like they are praying makes them a little more endearing then your average insect. We found one outside the other day. The girls had never seen one before. It was great. It looked right at me as though it knew I was admiring it.
