Sweet, Sweet Baby!!!

I was soooooo excited when sweet B's Mom asked me to take some shots of her new bundle of joy. He surprised his family 5 1/2 weeks early and was a month old when we took these
pictures. He was so sweet, (didn't necessarily want to sleep so much), made the cutest noises, and has a great big brother to watch out for him. J and K, you sure know how to make the most handsome little boys. Thanks for letting me help you capture some sweet moments. I hope you love the pictures!

Amazingly Talented Friend!!

I have been so excited about this post for so long I can hardly stand it. My dear friend, Amy, (amazing artist and photographer) of Studio Charm creates the most amazing pieces of art (storybook canvases) from your child's picture and personality. Her theory is" if you can dream it, we can create it!" I have never seen anything quite like this. For more information go to Storybook Canvases.
She is also being featured at the Oh Sweet Sadie Art and Gift show this weekend and the next. Go to www.ohsweetsadie.com for more information about locations and times. This art and gift show is an absolute blast to attend featuring the most amazing crafters and artisans.

I actually took this picture of C . . . . . . .

. . . . and this is what she created. It is a 24x24 inch gallery wrapped canvas that hangs above her crib in her bedroom. Amy will never know what a treasure this is to me and my family. There are certain people out there w/ amazing creative gifts and she is definately one of them. Thanks again Amy! You are amazing!

Fun Cousin Pictures!

Man, I'll tell you, eight kids, 8 years old and younger (w/ three 2 year olds mind you) is definately a challenging photo shoot. These kids were an absolute blast to take pictures of. 90% of the pictures are wild w/ at least one kid running out of the picture or looking the wrong direction, but you know what, that is who they are. They would much rather play with each other than get their silly pictures taken. Who'd blame them?

Nothin' like a little cousin love!

Just check out these eyes and lips!! Amazing!

FYI: If you put the three 2 year olds up high (w/ adults hiding behind the wall w/ a hand on their back of course), they definately stay in the picture better!

Fantastic Wedding!

I can't believe I almost forgot to
post a recent wedding I had the opportunity to be a "Second" shooter at. What an experience! I absolutely loved it! The couple was darling. The weather was beautiful. It was a perfect day! Thanks Amy for the wonderful opportunity. It is always a pleasure working with you! You are such a great friend and absolutely amazingly talented photographer. You can see Amy's work @ http://www.studiocharm.com/

A little Sleeping Beauty moment here!

Fun Summer Pics!

I can't believe the summer is coming to an end. I'm not quite sure where it went. Seriously is it just me? Time flies these days. Just a few fun random shots I found going through pics on the computer!

T at the Wheeler Historic Farm. What a handsome fella!

C is not so much into the picture taking thing. I cannot get her to look at me for anything (even a popsicle)! Still my darling princess!

We discovered the Children's Discovery Garden at Thanksgiving Point this Summer! Loved It!!

T: "Don't worry C, it's going to be fun I promise!"

C: "Are you sure? What about my beautiful hair?"

"Whoo hoo, that was wet!"

Not the best exposure, but still a cute pic of these 3 peas in a pod neighbor friends!

Handsome newphews!!!

What can I say? I absolutely

love these boys!! My older sis is the AMAZING Mother of these four handsome boys. She wanted a close-up, large pic collage of her babes similar to mine. I hope you love them Sis. Love ya tons!
