fun in the sun!

I enjoyed this family and 1 year shoot yesterday morning! what a fun and happy little girl!!!! I hope you enjoy them too!

Warm fuzzy feeligns!!!!

Sometimes I think I shouldn't sell my rights to my images.....I think I should print like every other professional photographer out there. Then God does something to encourage me in the route he has sent my business. This shoot was one of those encouraging moments.
This couple drove from Lincoln for their 10 year Ann. shoot and back the same night because they feel it is worth that much to receive the rights to the images! I realize there are pros and cons to printing and giving rights but the fact that a lot of my customers come to me because they want the rights to their images makes me think I will stick with the route for now.

So now back to the BEAUTIFUL couple!!!! They just celebrated 10 years together and wanted to document the occasion. I had so much fun getting them to interact with each other and watch their love for one another. Never mind my rambling.....enjoy these images!!!!

Ellie is ONE!!!

One of the greatest joys for me as a photographer is to take pictures of my friends and family. This family is in our small group (kind of like a bible study) and I just love them......AND this little girl was one of my first newborn shoots. I'll share one of those too becasue I have gotten a lot better since then.

The red skin is something I could fix now......

Isn't she so pretty!!!!?????

I love all the faces she was giving me!!!!

Love is in the air!!!

This was there first meeting.  I love it!!!

It is a bad idea to send a pregnant lady to a wedding.....I mean, no one else cries as much as I do at weddings......When I was like 34 weeks along with Jaxon (my oldest) I went with Derek to a high school friends wedding (I had never met either of them) I swear I cried more then anyone there!!!! This wedding was no different except I was shooting the event. A few months ago my old college friend called me up and asked if I could do her wedding in Colorado. I of course said yes despite the fact I had another wedding the next day and off we went to Evergreen, CO. This couple was so genuine and full of love. THIS PEOPLE is what LOVE is!!!! Enjoy!!

Loving the summer weather!!!!

I am loving this outdoor shooting! The leaves are full and green and they just look amazing with all outfits!!! :-)  This family was full of energy and fun to work with! What a beautiful family!!!!

Another Graduate!

I know I've grown in my profession the past few years but I really can't explain how much I have grown without showing you a picture.....This family was one of my very first clients way back when I was in the mall for Christmas cards. Since then they have gained a child and that baby turned 1!!! So yet again, I have a graduate from my "watch me grow" program. Check out these images from their session.

This is my favorite!
