A Year of T's.....

Over the last year, I got to see this little cutie every 3 months. In those shoots, we did "T" pictures. The sad thing is that she grew but the "T" did not. This blog goes from maternity picture to 9 months. Stay tuned for the big "1".......

Baby Double D....

10 months ago, I found out that this little guy was going to be coming into this crazy world. However, with him living in Florida, I never thought I would see him as a newborn, let alone take pictures of him. Well, I was surprised to find out that I would get to have that chance. I had a small window of opportunity to take these because he had people to see! I jumped all over it and got some wonderful photos of him. The next time I see him, I will probably be shooting his 1st birthday pictures but, this made it all worth it.

Happy 1st Birthday Lauren...

How sweet is this! I got to do their family pictures and also Lauren's 1st Birthday pics as well. It took her awhile to warm up but once she did the smiles just kept rolling. This is WHY I LOVE what I do.

Whew...It's Been Awhile

It has been awhile since I have blogged. HOLY COW!! What better family to start with. I have known Jill since grade school. And her Grandma lived up the street from me growing up. I was so excited when she contacted me (all the way from Germany) to let me know that her family was going to be in the big Q-town and she wanted me to do family pictures for her. Of course I said yes! What a beautiful family! Thank you guys for letting me be a part of your Q-town visit.

Now it's my turn!

For those of you who know Kristi, you have followed her blog. Now it's my turn to blog about her. I have known Kristi since high school, maybe even jr. high. When she contacted me back in December to ask me if I would come over during Christmas weekend and take a family picture for her Mom. It had been awhile since they were ALL together and of course, I said yes. A few days after I set this up with Kristi, her sweet mom called me. When I had confirmed with her that I would be more than happy to do these for her, the excitement in her voice made my heart melt. This family oozes love for one another. They are so close yet miles apart. Wow, that kinda sounded like an 80's power ballad. All joking aside, I'm so honored they let me into their lives for 1 hour to give them something to last a lifetime. Thank you Kristi.

God Bless the Broken Road

A few years ago I heard a song and immediately thought of these people. Meet Beth and Jeff, and their beautiful children. I have never seen two people more in love with each other. I have sat and thought about this post for a really long time. They both have been down broken roads. Some that, at times to them, would never end. I have seen this relationship overflow with nothing but love for each other and God. I thank him everyday for bringing these six in my life. Beth first, whom I am honored to call my sister-in-law. She has shown me the true meaning of family and I love her to pieces. Emily second. Whom I've had the chance to get to see grow from a little baby to the beautiful young woman that she has become. Then Little Nathan third. This little guy is quiet but has left a huge footprint on my heart. Then Jeff. WOW! He is an amazing husband and father that has a true passion for his family and God. Then Mitch and Evan. These two have a very special place in my heart. Mitch is my little Abercrombie model and football stud. Evan is my little man with a BIG heart. I'm so grateful to have all of them in my life. All 6 of the Shadey Bunch.

"That God blessed the broken road. That led me straight to you"

Little "C" turns 1

Happy 1st Birthday Miss Cameron! This was the first time that I did a "birthday cake" shoot. We (I'll let you be the judge on who had more fun) had so much fun. From the giant cupcake to the pink polka dot balloons to the tutu. I have had a blast capturing this little princess all year. Where has the year gone?????
