Handsome Brothers

I just realized that I never did post pictures of these handsome brothers!! I did this shoot toward the beginning of October. We do a lot with their family through our Sunday School class and also through soccer. This was the second time I got to do pictures for them - the first was when the mom was pregnant with the baby. They are a wonderful family and I had a great time capturing these special moments for them. Enjoy!!

More Cuties!

Another shoot last night and boy was it fun. These kiddos are about the same age as my two, so I knew what to expect - lots of exploring and not wanting to stop for the camera! That is one of the fun things about taking photos of little ones!! They both really liked the locations we did the pictures - especially the big rocks and water! I look forward to taking their pictures with Mom and Dad next month. Enjoy these personal faves:

I also wanted to inform you of a couple of an event I have going on this Saturday and a "special" I am running. I am doing "mini-shoots" of little ones in their Halloween Costumes this Saturday beginning at 2:30. I will have a Fall background (bale of hay, scarecrows, pumpkins, sunflowers, etc) and each session will be 15-20 minutes. Each family that takes part will receive a free 5X7, with no obligation to buy more. Plus - no sitting fee!! I still have slots left, so please contact me if interested.

Also, due to how quickly my dates for November and December are booking up, I am offering 2 free 5X7's to those people who book a shoot with me at least 2 weeks in advance. If you are wanting photos for Christmas, please call me ASAP to get your session booked!!

Red Rangers

I love taking sports-related pictures and I got to do just that last week when I did team pictures of the Red Rangers. They were shot at the park where the kids practice. Here are my two favorites:

I will post individual pictures when they are all done! Thanks for looking!

What a Cutie!

The following pics are a couple of my favorites from a recent shoot I did with a good friend's youngest daughter. It was hard to choose my two favorites because she is so photogenic, I liked them all! This was just a "practice" shoot that we did while her older sister and Colton were practicing soccer, but we had a lot of fun! "K" is one of those kids that just oozes with personality and it really shows in her pictures. I can't wait to "practice" on her again! Enjoy the pics!

Three Senior Boy Shoots in 4 Days!!

Hello! It's been a while since I posted, but that is ok because that meant I was busy! I got to shoot 3 senior boys all in 4 days and they were all friends and all were referred to me by the same person - thanks, Debbie P.! I had a lot of fun and I am still trying to get all the pictures edited and posted on my website. We got the yearbook photos taken care of though, so that was good (deadline was Oct. 1). I am sure you know what is coming next...

Here are my favorites!!

Sunflowers in Mimbres

Been busy with other things lately, and while I have quite a few shoots coming up, I don't have one to post right now. So, instead of "people portraits," I decided to post some pictures I took of the beautiful sunflowers that are covering the Mimbres Valley. Colin and I took the kids there to camp and visit my parents a couple of weeks ago and there were more sunflowers than I had ever seen up there. They also seemed a lot bigger and fuller than in previous years. Enjoy!

I also wanted to give everyone a heads up (mainly those with small children) that I will be having a Fall/Halloween Portrait Open House on Saturday, October 27, 2007 at my house. You will be able to sign up for a time for a mini-shoot of your child/children dressed in their Halloween costumes on a Fall background. Each family will get one free 5X7, with no obligation to buy. Plus, there will be refreshments and other fun stuff, too. More information will be sent out as the date gets closer, but please mark your calendars!

Another Senior Shoot - This Time a Boy!

Here are a couple of my faves from another senior shoot I did. After 3 senior girl shoots, I was excited to have a senior boy ask me to do his pictures! I met them at their house and really enjoyed the breathtaking views of the mountains and valley that they have. A big thank you to both him and his mom for allowing me to document this special time in his life.
