Miss Anna

My dear friend, Anna, is so beautiful and was willing to do some model work for me. We were able to do about half of what I wanted to do so here are a few photos from our first shoot. More to come soon.

Taylor

Taylor is a 2009 senior. He needed some more photos and so we got to spend some time together on a rainy Sunday. He as patient enough with me to endure the weather and go outside for a bit. We were on a time crunch but we were still able to work with the time and the weather and pull off some great photos for him.

Baby Hannah

This was such a fun baby to photography! She LOVED Samson. :) Anytime she was unsure of something we just let her pet him and she smiled so big. This was Hannah's 1-year photo session. I hope to photograph her as she grows older!

Amanda

Yea! My first senior photo session of the year! This is my favorite thing to do. Together we get to be creative and have fun inside the studio and outside, too.

I am still booking sessions for this year. Call or email any time with questions or to book a session!

Amanda and I have gotten to know each other through Cross Roads Youth group during this last school year. She is an amazing person and I wish her much fun in her future decisions.

Stacia and Madison

My wonderful, beautiful friend and cousin is on bed rest to keep her unborn baby safe and healthy. To keep things fun and spontaneous I brought my camera to take photos of her beautiful 18 mo old baby and of her baby in her belly. :) Here are a few of the results. It was great practice to use just the light from their 2 windows too. That was neat to work with. The light really cast some neat shadows.

God must be granting her many patients. I admire the sacrifice of "boredom" that she is making. Three months of bed rest is a task only a mother could perform.

Dustin and Courtney

I'll be photographing this cute couple's wedding in May and can't wait! We did their engagement session last week. It was one of the first beautiful days of the week. It was great to spend time getting to know them and talking "wedding talk." I'm looking forward to working with them next month.

Cute Cousins

These 3 beautiful children are cousins! They are so full of life and fun! Everything here was new and an adventure. The most fun they had was on the 6x6' pillow/bean bag my mom made for me. They loved to jump on it and have their mom's drop them on it.
The best part of the shoot was having them dance to a Madona CD that one of the mom's brought! YEA! They taught me dance moves I'll never forget. ;)

Pooches cont...

Just a few more to add to the previous post:

Pooches

Here are a few photos of dogs in my life. I am an avid animal lover. I own 3 dogs myself. I do offer pet photography. It is so fun to take a dog to the studio and watch them explore while being photographed. I would be pleased to go to a location of your choice and take photos as well. An example could be your house, your yard, or a favorite park. It is wonderful to include your family pet in any family photo sessions as well.

Animals are in our lives for only so long and it's a wonderful sentiment to have a few photos that truly capture who your pet is.

I photograph any pet that you desire.

I have 3 horses and would greatly enjoy any farm photos as well.

Pet photo sessions are $30.00. This includes an hour of photography.

Marshall Family

A great and cute family from Montevideo. It was a pleasure to get to know this family and work with those adorable girls. Those girls had such amazing personalities that they made me look forward to having children of my own. (Just not for a few years ;))
