My weekend was filled with little boys

Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family in their backyard.  Their boys were so well behaved and tolerated numerous outfit changes (I can barely get my kids out of the pajamas).  Here is a sneak peek for the "C" family.

Three times the fun....

Spent saturday afternoon with this wonderful family.  These boys were so much fun and made my job a breeze.  They weren't shy and knew how to have a great time.  Here is a sneak peek of a few shots I got.

She made my job so easy....

Last week I had the pleasure of working with a BEAUTIFUL young woman.  We spent the afternoon climbing over creeks, scaling steep hills and risking tetanus for the perfect background, but it was well worth it.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

Wonder Twin Powers

During this incredible summer heat I had the great pleasure of working with these adorable twins.  We had so much fun at the park even the ducks couldn't stay way.  Everywhere we went they followed us.  This pleased my little models, but it is very hard to compete with a gaggle of geese.  Fortunately it was nearly impossible to take a bad picture of these two cuties.

Five teens and a toddler

I recently had the pleasure of spending the evening with a fun group of teens, taking pictures of them doing what they do!  I was accompanied on this shoot by my very active two year old.  Normally this would not be a problem, but this location had a pond!!!  You see my dilemma.  With the help of the above mentioned teens we got in quite a few good shots.  Here is a sneak peek of just a few of them.

To have it all at ONE

Last weekend I got to spend some time with an old client.  Well she isn't old actually....she is only one....but I've been working with her since she was just crawling.  Ms. "S" is one of the most active, expressive toddlers I have worked with.  She is so much fun and definitely keeps me on my toes.  This session involved a lot of running (for both of us), multiple clothes changes and quite a few cookies (the only thing she would sit for).  I think we were all exhausted after this.

Senior Prom ~ ~ ~

This is it!  The last dance!  The senior Prom!!!!  They've been planning for months.  Shopping for the perfect dress, the right shoes, the coordinating jewelry.....and it all came together for one special night.  I have never been accused of being over emotional.  I don't cry often.  But I have to admit that I got a little choked up when I saw my girls coming down the stairs looking gorgeous.  The little tear in my eye was overshadowed by my best friends open mouth blubbering.....but that is the norm for her so I don't think anyone even noticed.....and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way!  So after all 10+ teens pulled out of my driveway for their big night, there we were, me and my best friend......the person who has been by my side for years sharing all of our childrens joys and sorrows........and she looks at me and says "what are we going to do when she gets married?"  Whaaaaaaaaaaa...............

The shoes!!!  My child never wears heels and this is what she picks out for prom!!!

Kayla and Ben........I have a feeling he will be my son-in-law one day.  Shhhh!  They don't know it yet!

Liz and Lucas.....my other beautiful daughter (at least for a few more weeks)

The REAL prom dates!!!

The mama's squeezin in for a picture.....I should probably have brushed my  hair!~
