She isnt the ham that she was at 6 months, a little bit shy, but still just as cute... especially in that tutu!

















my favorite of the day!

Olivia's First Birthday

Ok, you guys know I love kids, so what could be better than a child's portrait shoot? Add cake and some party hats and now youre talking!

Olivia is in my daughter's class so we were invited to her first birthday party..... this is one of the sweetest children Ive ever met, so this party was just a great day for everyone....

Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day, Olivia!



waiting for all the guests to arrive (isnt she the cutest?)


Olivia entertaining one of her guests


here's Emma at the party.... not quite tall enough


the first taste

I think its pretty good


I think the cake was a big hit!


the best gift of the day - a new tricycle!


and another gorgeous mom...

Amber

I did these Senior Pictures for Amber and we had such a good time.... She is gorgeous and with not a hint of teen attitude or angst - she was such a pleasure to work with....

It was quite the windy day that day, but we just pushed through and I think the pictures turned out wonderful....























this one was her mom's idea and I love it!


I love the easy-breezy look of this one

Allie and Ellie

This was one of the most fun families Ive had so far.... the parents were so cool with whatever, and the kids were just too sweet.... Both girls are so different - Allie definitely embodies that red hair of hers - fiesty and smart, and little Ellie is the baby - adorable and curious....

At the beginning, Allie decided that she didnt want her picture taken... at all.... her mom was worried about it, but I assured her that we would get something good out of her.... :)

how the day started off....


I got a few when she wasnt looking though


the weather was beautiful that day, so they let the kids go barefoot.... I love it!


Allie was pretty happy when they let her stick her feet in a small creek bed


this next set is just gorgeous.... I would absolutely hang these in a 4 panel black frame








arent they a pretty family?!


the mom is just gorgeous....






I love these - how all the colors bounce off the inside

Senior Saints Banquet

With the weather warming up, business is heating up as well.... so I stay hopping, but I LOVE it - its so much fun to be able to capture a moment in time for someone - just to be a part of that is just amazing..... ok, enough gushing, on to the pictures.... :)

I recently took pictures at a Senior Saints Banquet for a local church.... they have all their "Senior Saints" out for a luncheon to show how much they appreciate them.... they do this twice a year... if only everyone appreciated the wiser in their life so well....

everyone said hey and gave a good hug around the neck


the girls got prepared for the singing about to take place



this lady has been at that church ~85 years, I think.... and she is the sweetest, and I just think she is one of the prettiest "mature" ladies Ive met


I love that I caught some gossip being shared in this one (dont you love all the colors!)


one of the couples helping serve are still newlyweds





the preacher and his wife


another sweetheart of a lady
