Prom

It was prom here in Grimes a few weeks ago and I had the privilege of snapping a few formals of Jordan & Kelli. Jordan's family are close friends of ours - actually more like FAMILY! Jamie is Jordan's mom and she wanted some "clutter free photos" is I think how she put it. She got to sit back and relax and not have to worry about getting that perfect picture. She was so thankful she did too, what a great memory!

Happily Ever After... Ashlie & Adam

Ashlie & Adam were cute. I have been SO incredibly lucky to have "go with the flow couples." They were both calm and ready for the day. Which only rubs off on everyone else around you - parents, kids, wedding party and ME! This was a super small, intimate wedding on a Sunday afternoon. No bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc... It was all about THEM!




Here is a montage of a few of my favorites. You'll need pause the playlist to the right of the blog screen. Otherwise you'll be hearing 2 songs at the same time.

Boys will be boys!

I had my running shoes on for this shoot. Anytime you have boys ages 3-7... watch out and be ready at all times! I did manage to coral them for a few close ups!

Natalie

6 month photos are fun ones. Babies are really showing their personalities, sitting up pretty well, and really responsive. Don't miss this milestone! This family was cute and fun. They added on enhancements to their session - this is a collage that was included.

Wedding Season Approaches

Laid back, fun, happy to be together couple! What else can I say, it was super simple. I think the hot pink heels say it all - I loved 'em!

Brendan & Brooklyn

Friday was the day to be outside! We met at Walker Johnson park and stumbled upon a large ptach of wild tulips growing. It screamed - photo op! (I'm headed back there tomorrow!) Again, these are all enhancements added on to the session... must haves!

Senior Time

JJ had senior photos done last year in a studio but decided he really wanted outside photos now. Lucky for me they came calling, not only for an outdoor photo shoot but a graduation announcement also. And he's a golfer so we made our way out to the course for a few action shots. I am booking Class of 2010 senior photos now so get your appointment scheduled - it's going to be a busy summer!

Large Family Photos

Large family photos are becoming a popular booking these days. Mostly I'm hearing - "it's long overdue!" Anyway, the pricing is a little different for these large groups so make sure you read the website, and talk to me if you're interested.

Rockin!

Jaden & his family were SOOOO cute. Look at his totally cute hair. I loved the mohawk! He looks like he should be in a GAP commercial ad. And his mom is GORGEOUS, and yes she has a 3 month old (not fair!) Little Natalie was a doll baby. She looked precious in her white gown.

Owen - 6 months!

This is Owen and what a cutie pie he is! He would smile at the drop of a hat and pretty much let us just do whatever! I'm showing more enhancements here as his parents added them onto their session. I did a few collages for them (a mix of photos on an 8 x 10) and a picture in picture enhancement.

Super Fun!

I would love to post every photo from this session! I was in love with every one of them. But I couldn't go wrong with this family - look at how cute they are! Karlee & Kaycee were incredible. Their faces just sparkled when they smiled.

Let me know if you like this location - I am loving it!!! It was only my 2nd time there!

Gage Turns 1!

So many people over-think the whole outfit thing... I get a lot of questions on "what to wear". Babies are the cutest in NOTHING! How cute is Gage running around in just rolled up jeans??? So cute! The focus is on him and not his clothes.

Ben turns 2!

During this shoot we spent about 5 minutes doing indoor shots and the other 30 minutes outside on the tracks. Ben's outfit was perfect - if you're looking for outfit ideas this is definitely a perfect sample! Casual, yet totally cute! This was my 2nd time photographing Ben - the last time he was 18 months! Happy Birthday Ben!

SIMPLY ADORABLE!

Logan was a ham! We stuck him in this "big cup" and he belly laughed so hard his eyes were watering. It was hard for me to delete any photos from their session. He was really cheesing it up! I can't wait to use this cup again. So I'm calling on all 5-6 month olds... CALL ME!!

Where have the years gone?

This now 11 year old was in my wedding when she was 4!!! May how the years have flown by! Courtney & her sister Kate were having their birthday photos taken. This is a great family and you will be seeing more of them this year. Mom already booked photos in August & October! If only everyone could be as organized!

Cubs Fan

Xander's family did the whole Cubs theme photos. He was so cute and very interested in the ducks that were lodging by the river.
