Father's Day '09

This is always a very hard holiday for me, and this one I know will be my last with my Daddy...

It was a wonderful visit full of lots of laughs & memories, never once did we chat about blood transfusions,treatments or him being sick, we chatted about cat fishing and plans to shoot....

we took photos in front the tree my Dad planted almost 13 years ago and we LOVED being together as a family!!

Relay For Life '09

There is never an easy way to talk about what my family and most of all my Dad has been through in the last three years as he has waged and never ending and tiresome battle with Incurable and now terminal Esophageal Cancer. There are truly no words to express the emotional roller coaster I have found myself on these past few years, but there is thankfulness, and there is pride and in small ways there are victories. I know this Sunday I will be spending my very last fathers day with my Dad, though it brings tears of lose, it also brings tears of joy, blessed are we every single day that Dad has gotten this far and every day we are thankful for another. Most of all I am thankful for all my father will leave with me when he is no longer on this earth, I am so thankful for the memories, weather accompanied with tears or laughter, I am so very blessed to have had a father that loved me so much and it is those memories that will carry me through the days when it feels like they have no end to the pain.

She said [YES]

As you bite your tongue, hold your breath and try to calm your breathing just as you get ready to ask that scary question, there is no greater joy then to hear her say "YES" when you pop it!!!



Seeing couples at this blissful stage of their relationship is so much fun and it is my job to capture those special moments through the poses that show the bond and love between a couple! This couple is already very much a family, as they are joined with a bouncy blond haired little boy and another blessing on the way, and there is no lack of love among them to spread it far and wide!! Congrats to you two, I look forward to shooting your wedding in August!!

Baby I [LOVE] You...

Ever since I moved I have done a bunch of Bellies to Babies/Maternity Sessions!! I LOVE being able to see a mother in the making and to see their beautiful bodies form around their hearts as it grows inside of them and to be able to see what their precious blessing looks like when they meet this world!! Lauren was by far the smallest and cutest little bump I have done yet!! At 33 weeks she was still able to zip her pre-baby jeans...that's right ladies be jealous...lol!! I have yet to really edit her photos, but here is one I am thinking the more I look at it I like it...lol! Don't worry Lauren they won't all look like this...lol, just having fun!!

Painting a Portrait...

Every now and then you do a session that just comes out better then you could have imagined and a photograph takes on a feel of a piece of artwork rather then just a picture. Well Jenna and Chucks shoot would be just that for me! Chuck thought he was pretty big and bad, but all in all he was a big lover and the bond between women and horse was so evident in how he interacted with her! I have a million favs from this session, but here are only a few...and to think I am still editing this session...lol!

Addy, Addy Quite Contrary

This little girl was the cutest thing ever, but she was gonna have NOTHING to do with me, my camera or having her photographs done...lol! I put the chair down, she moved it, we asked her to hold the bunny she dumped it on the ground and in the end...her photos came out awesome...lol!!! I followed her around that park as she looked at the ducks, enjoyed time with mommy, grandma & grandpa and at the end of the shoot she decided I was okay and she'd let me take her picture...lol!! They came out super, super cute and as you can tell she has so much personality!!
