Timmy's 1st Communion

Timmy came over and we snapped a few shots of him all dressed up...

I love this silhouette of Timmy and how you can see the outline of the Rosary.

And here were some Thank you cards that I created for him...

A day at the park...

A beautiful day at Loose Park + An adorable blonde haired girl =

Isn't she too cute for words?

A Growing family...

Krystal and her family came into the studio for a family photo session. The lil' guy, Aidan was full of smiles. Here are some of the many photos that I loved...

I definitely think Aidan is Grandpa's boy...

And a group shot with all eyes looking at me, big smiles, and all eyes open..
(this can be a challenge with such a big group)

And then another...



Great job guys!!! You have a very loving and beautiful family and
I really enjoyed capturing all those smiles...
and I also believe a CONGRATS is in order as well
as I've heard that Aidan is going to be a big brother!

RIP Diamond

I am so glad that I got some pictures of my sister, Monica with her dog Diamond. Unfortunately, Diamond was ran over this week and got her angel wings.

RIP Diamond

Myra

At Easter, I took a few snapshots of my lil' cousin, Myra. She is beautiful...look at those eyes!!

TGIF

As I went back to see which pictures I've forgot to post on my blog, I came across these that I took of a group of friends. They came in one afternoon with a few bottles of wine and some fun personalities. We had tons of fun in the studio and here are a few of my favorites...

Cheers to it being Friday!! I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend!

Happy Easter!!!

I realize I am a little behind on posting, but I strive to get caught up each day and wanted to get a few posted today. Marissa came in around Easter and we had a lot of fun. She didn't like to sit still for too long, but we still managed to get quite a few pictures. I think by the time I do her next photos, she will be running from me...

I thought this one of her with her basket was just too sweet.

The Most Handsome Future Firefighter

Does this give you a little bit of baby fever?

I fall in love with this lil firefighter over and over again. It's impossible not to!

Kylee

Here are some more of my favorites from the photo session with Kylee. I loved the color images, but I also am loving the antique look as well.

I had such an amazing time capturing Kylee.

She really is a happy girl that is so full of life!

Miss Thing...AKA Kylee

I had the pleasure of taking some pictures of my niece this week and had to share this with everyone. More to come soon...

Beautiful Eyes...

Need I say more than beautiful eyes??

Beautiful Baby!!

Connor's Body-Parts Collage...

Here is a body-parts collage that I created of my friends baby, Connor.
I hope to have more images from this session posted sometime this week.
He is such a sweet baby...

Handsome Tugg

I fell in love with this 'lil man' as soon as he came into the studio.
From the pictures, you would never know that he didn't like the posed positions.

He is adorable in his swim gear...

And I just love how sweet he looks in this picture...

ad this one too...

And look at Tugg all decked out in his chef hat...

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Happy (early) Valentines Day!! I couldn't wait any longer to post this on my blog. My nephew, Cason came over for a few hours early this week so we could take some pictures similar to ones that we took of his older brother when he was his age.

These pictures of Cason mean a lot to my family. If you look close at the image you will see the scars that he has on his chest from the open heart surgeries that he has had. Cason was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome prior to his birth. Click here to learn more about HLHS. Cason has been very blessed with his health since he came home from Wisconsin. Unfortunately, he will be having another surgery in July.

For my nephew, Cason and our other heart friends, my family and friends will be walking in the Heart Walk in Kansas City on Saturday, May 30th. My family has set a personal goal to raise funds for the American Heart Association and we need your help to reach my donation goal. We are raising critical dollars for heart disease and stroke research and education. A great example of where these research dollars go is obvious to me each and every day as I look at my nephew, Cason. The future holds strong for him and many others because of this research. When you support CHD research and screening you are helping to save a life!

You can help us reach our goal by making a donation online. Click here and you will be taken to our personal donation page where you can make a secure online credit card donation. If you are interested in joining our team on the walk please contact me and I can give you all the details for this. Thanks for your help.

Lily Maree

As you might recall from a previous post, our friends Jon & Alison were pregnant. They delivered Lily Maree on Dec. 15th. She is the sweetest little baby and I had a lot of fun taking pictures of her.

I LOVE the "baby-parts collage". . .

And this was right after Lily's little accident that she had on the towels.

I think it might have even shocked her a bit,

but we repositioned the towels and got some great shots... And what's sweeter than baby feet and diamonds ...You can quit thinking now because you won't come up with anything :)
