Miss Alexa

There's just something you have got to love about sassy little girls.  I'm finally learning from some of my favorite little models that "Sassy" is a good thing most of the time when used correctly.  It's amazing what you can learn from preschoolers...lol.  Alexa was no different and had the personality to match her images.  I had the best time playing with her at the studio.  Hope you enjoy the sneak peak!

Miss Emily

Every little girl dreams of being a princess for a day.  This little one came close to being one in every way.  Simply delightful to work with.  The images of the details came to light when I had a flash forward to her wedding day.  What a way to capture her journey through her spiritual life.  Congratulations on 1st Communion.

Ohhhh how I love those tiny tiny babies...

This is Mr. Drew and I have to say that I fell completely in love with this little man.  He cooperated so much with our ideas until...duh duh dum....mommy was holding his little bare bottom.  Sooo sorry I thought for sure I had it timed for Daddy...lol.  Thanks so much for coming in with him right after he arrived.  His photos are going to be gorgeous.  Enjoy the sneak peak.

Yummy Pineapple Whip...

It happend so fast, he spotted it the minute something looked out of place.  Or should
I say back in place.  The HULA GIRL on the yellow trailer...was it true...could it be....summer must be officially around the corner.  Warm days, breezy nights, kids in the backyard, fire in the firepit and PINEAPPLE WHIP!   West is now one happy boy since he broke in the checkout line at 3:45 today.  Who knew that the simplest of things are always the best as a kid.  Enjoy!

Meet the Scott family

I have never met someone as awesome as Janice that could be such a baby whisperer.  AMAZING at how well she had her newborn at ease.  Their other 4 kids were just as cool, I'm sure dad will say they get that from him but we'll have to talk about that one....lol!  Enjoy your sneak peak.

"My Story" Session


I don't know how many times I've heard other women say "I wish I looked that good...or...wow she looks beautiful!"  Why not let yourself feel that way and celebrate you...just as you are.  Everyone is beautiful and sometimes it takes something special to feel that way.  This thought process is what lead me to start the "My Story" sessions.  Call today for information!  889-0994

Willard Cheer Senior Girls! I had such an awesome time with these girls. There was plenty of laughter going on that night. Congrats on becoming SENIORS!

The Lyon Gang











Thinking back I believe that Kristi and her family have been with me forever! I appreciate her willingness to always do something different and to just trust me. Not to mention that those kids are awesome as well. Oh wait and don't you think Jess looks a little like "Maverick"...no wait was that "Goose"? Sorry little inside joke that I couldn't resist...LOL!

Burton Kiddo's










Here's the neat part...they are the cousins of the Smithwick kids. It's so cool when you get to be involved in the whole family thing. These 3 are amazing and always let me play and put them thru EXTREME cold to get cool photos for their momma. Speaking of Momma...Megan is the best she works at Long Acupuncture & Skin Ritual Spa as their Esthitician. (You all know my spelling I'm sure it's wrong...lol)She is the absolute best! Give her a call.
