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!

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.

Family is one of nature's masterpieces...

I spent a few hours one morning photographing the Turnbull family. It was a chilly day outside, but luckily we scheduled pictures for the morning and missed the afternoon rain. Following are some of my personal favorites...

My girls...

are growing up too fast. These pictures are of my two nieces and I can't get over how grown up both of them look in these pictures. My sister is going to have her hands full in a few years trying to keep the boys away from these girls...

Now aren't they just too sweet!!

Typically my biggest challenge...

is taking pictures of my nephews. I convinced Cuinn that this would make a great gift for his parents Christmas and it wouldn't cost him any money. He has been around me long enough and he knew that was a good deal. We wouldn't let my sister come to the studio until we knew we had gotten some good shots because we knew that they might not listen once she arrived. I can't share all the images until everyone gets her Christmas cards, but here are a few for now...

Cason is so grown up and looks so handsome in this chair.

I love this picture of Cuinn above. He doesn't like

to smile in pictures so it's definitely one of my favorites!
