Bazzell Family | Welcome Baby Everly

Good morning!!!  Say hello to Miss Everly and the beautiful family that she gets to be a part of.  I had the best day with them!!!   Other than photographing this precious girl, my favorite part was sitting with big brother Oliver watching some Saturday morning cartoons.  :)  

Thank you so much, Matt and Sarah for welcoming me into your home!!  I'm so lucky to have been a part of this most precious time in your lives.  I look forward to seeing you soon!!

Zoey 6 Months | Big Brother Jameson | Too much adorableness!

So I'm at the park setting up and waiting for my clients to arrive....  I get super excited before each session because I can't wait to meet my clients in person! ( <-----that's one thing that WILL change soon)  Then I see Stacey walking up, but wait I see a very familiar guy walking behind her!  "What's up Ryan Barnes?!!?"  Wouldn't you know that I've known this dude since JR. HIGH!!  And stupid me, "Oh sorry! Hey Stacey, nice to finally meet you."  Ha!

I just LOVE seeing my old friends and meeting their families AND getting to photograph them!!  How lucky am I?!?   

Stacey, it was such a pleasure meeting you!!  Thank you for being so awesome!!!  I hope to see you all again soon!!!

Good afternoon!!!  These are the Sims and Hunter families.  They're really amazing people that I'm proud to call my friends.  And according to my 5 year old daughter...that little cutie pie, Maxx is her boyfriend.  Uh oh!  

Maiya | Six Months | Adorable

Say hello to Maiya!!!  Isn't she beautiful?!?  Even with no teeth she had THE best smile!  I really love 6 month sessions because they're happy and smiling and sitting and they're just plain good at being cute.  :)
Thank you, Jenny(mommy)(her mommy, not mine)(haha) for giving ME the privilege of capturing such a precious time in your lives.  

PC Clean-up!!

Hey hey!! :)  I am soooooo behind on my blog and just all together totally unorganized.  SO!  All day yesterday (until 1:30am) I cleaned up my computer.  I moved all my old files to my hard drive and widdled down my personal images.  I am a picture hoarder for real!!  I found a lot of images that were overlooked.  A lot of times I'm checking lighting and don't bother really looking at those images in editing.    This is my husband and my 3 year old daughter.  We went out with my parents and my sister's family for some updated family photos (shot by me) and I happened to catch these two like this...  This should not have been overlooked...  Don't worry, you're not missing any images like this.  I overlook my own images because I take hundreds and then "I get back to them later".    One of my many goals for this year is to get more images like this.  It's time to get some new art on OUR walls.  

Speaking of my 3 year old.  She's not feeling well today so it's time for me to go snuggle with her.  Have a fabulous day everyone!!  I'll be back tonight to post more.  <3
