Adorable Boys

What a wonderful day it was when these two adorable 17 month old twins came to visit us and play with the bunnies. Lots of scootin' and scamperin' going on, but beautiful portraits to remember this day by.

From a Good Home

I come from a good home. I have two sisters who are selfless and beautiful inside and out, and I have parents who are godly, patient and full of wisdom. My family encourages me when I'm frustrated, they pray for me when I'm down and laugh along with me in our many, many, good times. I never want to take them for granted, our times together are short and precious. They have all set the example that I want to follow and pass on to my children. That is a precious legacy and I love that I have beautiful portraits of all of them to mark this legacy with. Love your families in their perfect and un-perfectness, it is so worth it.

My gorgeous step-daughter

Summertime always takes us up north to our "Home and Native Land," Canada, to visit our families. Spending time with my gorgeous 24 year old step-daughter is always a highlight of our trip. This year I was privileged to capture these beautiful portraits of Kristina with her dog, Molly, along with some updated family and sibling portraits. I am so blessed to have Kristi in my life and I love her dearly.

Oh Baby!

I was given a wonderful opportunity recently to photograph this beautiful baby boy, Lucas. I just love newborns! I love being a part of a huge first in their new life - Baby's first portraits. Lucas has the most loving parents and adorable older sister, Ava. The love and care Ava gives her baby brother just takes my breath away! Lucas, you are a most blessed baby.

Class of 2009

The class of 2009 is very special to me, because one of it's members is my first born son. The photographing of Seniors is so awesome because you get to be a part of this huge moment when these young adults are embarking on their futures. I love to be around them during their Senior year, they are so full of life, hope and promise. Nothing quite prepared me though,for what I would experience when photographing my own son's senior portraits. Happiness for his future, but such an aching sadness at how fast we got to this place in time. Colten is constantly making me laugh, even when I'm trying to be stern with him, (especially when he's in trouble), he's immensly talented in music and just the nicest young man ever. I know this sappy old Mom is long winded today, but I love this guy so much!
