Josie

I wanted to be sure to get a few images up for Josie and her Mom before I head out of town for a work conference for a few days. Josie is the cousin of Madelyn and Katelyn (that I posted a few posts ago). She was so pretty in her pink dress! We got a few of her alone and a few of her with her Mom. It was a beautiful summer morning and the light in their home and yard was terrific!

I want to thank all the wonderful families that have called me to take pictures over the past couple of weeks. I have learned so much from my time with each one of you. I love photography, and it is such a gift to get to share it with others. I appreciate all of your enthusiasm and support as I begin this new adventure. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Avery and Sawyer

I had such a great time taking pictures of these two cuties! Their grandma's back yard was a photographer's dream! Lots of fun props and flowers. Too cute! And grandma was a terrific photographer's assistant as well - she knew just how to get Sawyer to smile. Thanks so much for inviting me to this fun garden and letting me spend some time with you!

Will

Doing a "sneak peek" is really hard - I can't narrow down the pictures to post! Will was so much fun to photograph! He has the bluest eyes. He definitely made me work to get him to smile - I need to learn to charm the boys a little better, I guess! :) We started out at his home and then went to his grandparents' yard. They had a terrific barn and lots of beautiful scenery. Thanks for letting me spend the morning with you, Will!

Madelyn and Katelyn

I had an absolute blast with these two beautiful girls! They were so much fun and had lots of their own ideas for poses! Here's a sneak peek at some of my favorites. Thanks for letting me spend some time in your backyard taking pictures!

Meg

I wanted to post a picture of Meg from this past weekend at the lake. I love the light at sunset. I love how it looks reflecting in the water and through the trees. So, I tried to capture that classic summer moment - sitting on the end of the dock as the sun sets.

Brody

These are pictures of Brody - the son of my daughters' gymnastics coaches (James and JJ). Isn't he adorable? I got to watch Brody the other night and took advantage of the oppportunity to take pictures of a baby! I love the storyboard of his cute face and adorable little fingers and toes. So cute!

Grace

Grace is the granddaughter of my co-worker and good friend, Lynn. Lynn and Grace's parents were graciously willing to let me take pictures of Grace at a local park. I put together a slide show of the pictures to music and was so touched to hear that Lynn cried when she watched the video! That is an aspiring photographer's dream come true!

Grace is a beautiful young girl who played throughout the whole session. I love capturing kids like that - in their natural environment where the don't even realize they are having their picture taken.

Thanks Grace for a fun time at the park!
