[ Sister Friend ]

In life I think women only find "sister friends" in a few people.
IF. THEY. ARE. LUCKY.

I have been so blessed to have found a few.
And one of them is my DEAR friend Celeste.
Words cannot even describe how much I LOVE and ADORE her.
Forever in her corner. Forever supportive. Forever her friend.
I just know we will be lifelong friends. Something I know to my very core.
We have been friends for almost two decades. That's a LONG time! LOL.

More to come Celeste.
You are beautiful & loving in every way.
I love you so very much.
Thank you for letting me take your photos!
MUAH!





Yes... I KNOW you are going to kill me for putting this up on this here blog!
But I HAD to!
This is my favorite thing about you! Your laugh!!!













Seriously... I have the most gorgeous friends!

[ ADOR-ABLE ]

I LOVE this picture of my kids!
Just a random shot taken during an evening up at the studio!
SO SO SO many sessions to blog!
Trying to keep everything together while also enjoying this holiday weekend!
Hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving!

[ S.W.A.M.P.E.D.! ]

So... I am working... working... working!
Getting Christmas photos ready for everyone!
I really should put some make-up on and pry myself away from this computer! LOL.

No, in all seriousness... I've been speed editing to get ready for my ENTIRE family to be here tomorrow!!! Woohoo!
I can't wait for us all to be together again. Grace & I have been planning meals and making plans!
Movies to be watched, yummy food to be eaten, games to be played, a whole bunch of laziness and laughter!
I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Also wanted to share some pics of a great couple I know!
I love it when Mom & Dads let me get some "lovey-dovey" pics!

Thanks Monica & Erin!!!

[ The Williams Family ]

So... if you are ever wondering what to wear for a session... think along these lines!
Amy picked out great outfits for her family...
colors that go well together but not too matchy-matchy!
Patterns, solids, layers, a GREAT necklace! ... I just loved it!

Thanks Williams Fam for letting me take your photos!









I love how Sloan is looking at her mama!



CUTE CUTE!

[ Sweet, SWEET girls! ]

These sweet little girls totally made my night I have to say!
When they walked in for their Christmas Session their eyes were sparkling &
they were SO excited to have their photos taken!

Gracie, Kylie & Jada... you girls were SO SWEET and so very BEAUTIFUL!
You took some amazing pictures for me!
It was a pleasure to meet ALL THREE OF YOU! ... and you too April!

Please let me take your photos again sometime!

Here's one to hold you over until I get the rest done!

[ Just Because: Adam & Meghan ]

I had such a great time taking a "Just Because" session of these two!

They have a long distance relationship and only get to see each other periodically!
It was cute photographing them because I could tell they were SO glad to be together...
they wouldn't quit kissing each other...
which was fine with me because it made for some adorable photos!

We took these photos over Halloween weekend and they were thinking
"outside the box" for their session (so much FUN for me!) and brought their Halloween Costumes!
Such a fun and loveable couple!

Thanks you two! Here are my favs...

Starting out with my favorite!















I'm also trying out some different editing techniques... thoughts? Like? ... Don't like? ... Me? ... Not me? ...









Meghan has some beautiful eyes!
