Dowdy Girls

Oh my night and day difference....each as beautiful in their own way. Talk about the personalities...They split their buddy session over 2 days and we had a ball! Loved that they did different hairstyles over the 2 days. I hope these images give you an idea of the diversity between these sisters. Enjoy Girls! I can't wait for you to see the other images, all 175+ of them!!!!!

Three of my favorite senior sisters!

Meet Erin, Taryn, and Sara. I am so fortunate to have taken Sara's senior session and now I get to take Erin and Taryn's this year also! Things are a little crazy at their house, college, senior year, boyfriends, moving....you name it it's going on. So today we did a session with the three girls to celebrate being sisters. You can tell their relationship with each other is a bond that can't be messed with. Thank you girls for allowing me the chance to celebrate your friendship/relationship today! Sara safe trip to Colorado!!!! Girls I'll see you at the dances!!!!

Oh and sorry girls I called Cingular and they don't need anyone for the new "Raising the Bar" commercial! LOL!!!!!

The Lacey Gang

I recently spent an early morning at the park with these 3 adorable toe~heads. It was perfect, the sun was out, they were wide awake, their parents and I were wide awake. LOL! They were troopers, and we just ran all over Phelps Grove Park. Their daddy even made it out for a couple of shots that day. Here are a couple from the session that just grabbed me.

Never imagined I'd be doing so many 7-7:30 a.m. sessions this summer, but this heat!

People who make a difference in my life!

We all have one, maybe two people who make a difference in our lives or someone who has helped make you who you are today. Let me introduce 4 of the 7 people that I could not have made my business without. They are my peers, mentors, best friends, confidants, some would say competition, but I truly feel blessed to have them in my life. Back row is myself, Pat Owens, Elise Ellis, front row is Martha Dameron and Christy Blehm. We are missing at least 3 others that are usually with us, Kenna Bartz, Brandon Hedgpeth, and Kirsten Twigg. We have been friends for years and continue to learn and grow from one another. Thanks for always being my towers of strength in my family life and business life. I'd also like to thank Gwen Prichard and Angela Deville whom I've only known for a year but it feels like a lifetime!!!

Josie

Josie, you had the best attitude! I had the pleasure of being in on a Mothers Day surprise with her a couple of months ago and then got to do her Sr. Creation Session this past week. She was so comfortable to work with and had and easy going attitude the whole session. We even got to play with her friends during her session. Here's a couple of my favorites, they reflect her personality so well!

Alana, Ashley, and Troy

Oh my these 3 little cuties were great from the get go, and when they left I even got hugs and kisses!!!!!! Their mom had come to me wanting to capture who they are right now, the tutu's and toe shot was something that just happened when the girls saw them. I had to just turn them loose and this is one of those moments of them in the act. Troy and his toes, I just loved this abstract shot, his eyes are on nothing but those little piggies!

My first "REAL" client ever!

I've learned that there are some people who just trust you unconditionally in your talent. Lorna was probably my very first client who had not met me previously, flash forward 7 years and here we are with an addition of 2 little sisters! Lorna you have no idea how much I appreciate you and your belief in me when I started. Your family is still just as beautiful as it was then, only more people. Thank you!!!!!!!
