Patience

I do not like to admit it but I have very little patience when it comes to certain things...technology is a biggie! Please have patience with me as I try to edit some of the recent posts that are not showing up properly. Check back soon to see highlights from those sessions! Hopefully it will not be too long! Thanks for visiting! In the meantime, please check out some of the archived posts to the right!

Cassie

I LOVE these pics! Cassie was so extremely easy to photograph. She was so natural & had a great smile! We went to some fun locations in town & got creative with places that might look run down to others. Her photos will be completely unique because some of her backgrounds are no longer there. I love using what is available at the time & seeing past what most people might see when they pass by a location. This is the fun part of my job. Along with pretty much everything else:) I had a difficult time narrowing Cassie's photos down, so there are a ton of proofs in this collection...

Jerrica

My posts lately have been completely out of order, but I have just decided that it is OK! I have so many things that I am responsible for that I need to be a little more relaxed, so I'm just going to be alright with this portion of my life that is completely unorganized. So I apologize to any of you that should have seen your post a long, long, long time ago - but here they are. That leads me to Jerrica. I've known Jerrica since she was a little kid. It's hard for me to believe that she is a senior! We did some head shots for the yearbook this fall & I'm looking forward to shooting some more poses for her this spring!

Miller Family

I love this family! The one thing that I am enjoying most about this new venture is re-connecting with faces from the past. It is so nice to see people that you grew up with, all grown up & married with a beautiful family! Logan was precious & we played tag! I think I made a new friend (my other favorite thing about this new venture). And little Ashlyn is tiny, but she acted like she knew what was going on & just posed. Too cute. Grins all around! It was a fun time! Thanks Cindy & Devin - you have a wonderful family!

Ellie & Lilah

How adorable are these two! These little girls belong to a friend of my sister's & are friends with her little girls. They had a fun time playing together this day, so much that Miss Ellie was a bit timid in the beginning. She really just wanted to play. Can I blame her? No - Gertie & Syd are fun, I know. But she warmed up after awhile and began to giggle for me. I love the cover shot! Little Lilah was easy...she just smiles at Mom all the time. Just a few weeks from my Sophie in age, they had fun playing too! Or, riding in the wagon anyway. Enjoy!

Woodard Grandchildren

Count them - NINE kids! You would think it would be difficult to get that many kids to look at you at the same time, but the only difficult thing was wrangling Charlie, and I wasn't really even the one doing that:) Love the one-year-olds that don't stand still for long! This was fun because it was supposed to be a surprise for Grandma for Christmas, only Grandma just happened to stop by that day for a visit. She knew immediately what was going on & she was thrilled! Also - loved the location of this session! There were endless possibilities for fabulous backgrounds! I may be calling in the future Martha! Thanks to all for allowing me to photograph your family. See the entire album below. And, note the new way I'm posting - you should be viewing all proofs, and some of the funny/crazy ones are included. I know there are a LOT, but I left those in there for them to see! Enjoy!

Baby Harley

I am so blessed! For many reasons, but on this evening in particular, to have had the opportunity to photograph this precious new little one! What an adorable family! Almost makes me want another one already. I did say almost! Click below to see Harley's entire album. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

MERRY MERRY Christmas 2009

This post is a bit out of order, but for those of you that did not receive a Williams Family Christmas Card this year, you would have seen this...


Adorable & Sweet,

Ornery,

Silly,

wonderful, cuddly, lovable little girl!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! Happy New Year!

Jake, Hannah & Gracie

For my Aunt Jeri Lynn, I hope you love them because I'm really bad at keeping secrets! I took these photos of my cousins children for their grandparents (as a surprise Christmas gift) and almost spilled the beans like 3 times! Wow! Am I bad at surprises or what? Fortunately, I caught myself each time and covered pretty well because she had no idea & she loved them! YEAH! That was the goal! Anyway - Love the kids, love the colors, love the pics. Hope you do too! Sorry it took me so long Nichole!

Canter Family

Sorry it has taken me so long to post! But I'm back now:) The fall season was a busy one for this newbie & now that winter has settled in & things have slowed a bit, I hope to fill you in with what I've been up to these past couple of months! Beginning with...

The Canter Family (none but Grandpa actually has the name Canter, but they all belong to him, so they are the Canter Family). They were a challenge, as they were the first large group of children that I tried to capture all smiling at the same time - they were fun, silly, sweet, wonderful children! It actually rained on us the first go round, so we tried again a few days later. On the first day Grandpa let me take pictures of him by himself (with the persuasion of his daughter) and I was elated. The photograph of him is one of my favorites. I grew up with the parents of these children, so it was great to reconnect with friends from my past & to see faces I hadn't seen in a long time, and new ones that looked so much like the parents I remember being their ages. It kind of made me realize how old I am! Thank you Sara, for looking me up & giving me the opportunity to photograph your family! I truly enjoyed every minute of it! With a group this large, there were tons of proofs, so I had to narrow them down a lot - hope you enjoy!
