A Surprise Session!

How beautiful are these two girls! I mean seriously! They both need to be on the cover or something!! Dollie asked me to come to their property to do a surprise session for her hubby's bday. And I couldn't have been more honored. We got all 3 of his babies in the pics (wife, daughter and tuck).
It was a fabulous morning, the sun was pe...rfect. AND as if that isn't enough....they live on an amazing property. I kept saying it was a Photographers Amusement Park! LOL. I could have been there all day! So much fun!! SO many neat things to photograph in, on and around :)

Thanks again ladies for a super fun session!
I hope your hubby was surprised!!!

I Heart Faces-Fix It Friday #82

In my attempt to become a more active blogger, I am have decided to take advantage and participate in all the fun over at I Heart Faces!


Today is Fix It Friday. They provide an image SOOC (straight out of the camera) and basically give you creative freedom to edit the way you like.
Today's image is of a beautiful little girl. The first thing I noticed about her were those amazing eyes! So in editing this image I wanted to get them to stand out!






Edited using CS4---on my laptop, shhhh! Don't tell on me ;)

The M Family!

So I have decided, I am no good at keeping up with this whole blog deal...but I am going to keep on trying! I have been a busy girl, and I am going to use that as my excuse :)
So time to play catch up!
Meet the M family!! They are actually very close family friends of ours, and I was honored when they asked me to do some new family photos of them! Little E {the big sis} is my 4 year olds girlfriend :) Too cute! My boys actually came a long with me to this session. Kaleb followed closely behind me with our old point and shoot camera taking photos himself. And he did very well if I do say so myself!!

I have been a fan, or "liker" of I Heart Faces on FB for sometime now, but this is my first time entering in their weekly photo challenge! It is so fun to look around at other blogs and entries and get some creative inspiration!

Princess {P} 6 Months!

I have been capturing this adorable family since baby Paige was still in mommys belly! It is so rewarding to me to get to watch her grown and capture such monumental milestones for them! I can not believe she is already 6months old!
