Meet Ms. K.

Meet Little Miss K.  She and Mom paid me a visit on Monday and I absolutely couldn't wait to post a preview!  She was soooo good and fell asleep half way through in the hat... ahhh... yes, I know -- you could just eat her up! And of course, my fav. is the one of her smiling. Here's a little preview Amanda and Nathan. You have a beautiful, sweet bundle of joy!

Cori, 90 Plus

Meet Cori.  
Cori is going to melt hearts!!! Look at her! I had a hard time narrowing her selection down to 90 -- yes 90! She doesn't take a bad picture and she has fabulous clothes. So down to earth and fun, fun, fun. From the 60 we narrowed it down to, here's just a snapshot of her talent --

The Beginning




I am not stretching the story any when I say when my friend walked into the studio on Saturday to take these pictures, I was literally shoving cardboard boxes atop of one another, mopping the floor and shimmy-ing the table with all the power tools on it over just enough to allow me to have about 20 feet of space. Which to me, 20 feet of space... WOW! That's a dream compared to my basement--ask anyone who has taken pictures down there ;)  But, with that said... here is a taste of me. A taste of what's to come. The studio opens an world of possibilities for me, and for you too! I have so many ideas that I can't wait to share. 


Meet Kaiser. He reminds me so much of Brecken. Kaiser is one. He isn't walking yet (so much like my little guy) and is so mellowed natured. More than once my husband asked... "is he laughing or crying???" only because he just isn't one to belt it out. That's changed a little around my house as Brecken's gotten older--as I'm sure it will for Kaiser too. 


The studio has been such an amazing journey. As I look at what's ahead, I can't help but be a little giddy. I'm praying for many more days like Saturday.

A + J

Finally! Signs of spring!!! Angie and Jason had a little snow on the ground still for their engagement pictures, but it was a sultry 50 degree... whew! Hot!!!  :)  Well, maybe not hot but warm enough to motivate me into getting pictures edited extra early.  These two are lots of fun, makes me excited for their May wedding!!!

Don't Bother Me!

Poor Stephanie... little Laina was not happy to have her pictures taken! Out of all the pics, I have to admit, this is my favorite --













Yes, I do realize she's crying, but really... 15 years from now, will she not look at that and laugh?!?  I didn't torture her the entire session though, we got plenty of her semi-smiling ;)  I think the best part was when my little guy dumped out 2/3 of a box of Cheerios just for her. Ooops. Cheerios always save the day.































And finally, check out those leg warmers!!!

Rachel + Lance

First, I must apologize. Rachel and Lance, I'm long overdue and that's lame... while excuses don't make anything better, the studio is sooooo close to opening, I'm spending so much time trying to organize, decorate, configure... ugh... my to do list is entirely too long. While I hate my husband being gone, it's probably best he's in Vegas this week. At least that way I don't feel bad about staying up late editing and neglecting spending time with him. 


Okay, back to the newly weds. Rachel and Lance were so nice, incredibly nice... genuinely thoughtful people. The kind that make you want to be better yourself. I enjoyed every moment I spent with these two. They were brave enough to step outside for a couple minutes here and there in the frigid February temps--it was well worth it! Here's a little preview; I have sooo many I want to show you... can't wait until you see them all!
