..My Girls.Eryka & Camry..

These are my sweet little girls. I've just realized that I rarely post pictures of them, which I don't even know why since they're the whole reason I wanted to push my love for photography further. These two are the highlight of my life and have the ability to make me go from wanting to spank their little bums and pull my hair out...to giving hugs, laughing my head off, and loving on them all day. Their personalities are so different from each other and they both so unique in so many different ways. Camry tends to be very shy, yet total maniac at the same time, soft spoken, and the biggest cuddle bug you'll ever meet. Eryka is 6 going on 16. She is extremely bossy, sassy, so full of spunk and way too mature for her age that most days I don't know what to do with her. She is at the top of her class in reading, writing and math....luckily for her, she did NOT get my brains! (or lack thereof) These two little rugrats have made me realize that life is so short, goes by way too fast, and there's no room or time to let little moments with our children pass by without recognition. My New Years goal was to take more time for family, play barbies with my girls a little more often, play Chutes & Ladders over and over with Eryka, and to take a minute to stop and really take in what's happening around me.

..Justie's Seniors..

I am so sorry for being such a blog slacker the past month. I'm usually so much more on top of it, but the past month has been a crazy rat race, now things are finally settling down a little bit and I have a few spare minutes to sit down and blog some sessions. But for now it's Justie's time to shine. I've known Justie and her family my whole life and I can't believe she's a senior already. I still remember when she was just a tiny little girl, and now here she is this beautiful grown up!! On a side note, I've decided that I really love doing senior sessions. They are so fun, laid back and I feel like I can take my time and "try" to use my creative side a little more.

..Lincoln, Hazel, & Piper..

Here are three of the cutest kids around. Hazel wasn't so sure about me or my camera and was really shy. She was twirling and dancing all over the floor but as soon as I pulled up the camera she stopped and went to the corner to get away from me. Lincoln is such a good brother and is quite protective of his new baby sister. At one point I asked if he needed help holding her and he looked at me like I was a crazy person and said "nope, I'm good" ha ha!! Little miss Piper was the sweetest little baby and so snugly. She didn't want to cooperate very well at the beginning and was determined to stay awake, thankfully she gave up and slept like a rock. Also, the mom of these three kiddos is so gorgeous and looks like a total rock star for just having a baby less than a week before pictures!

..Heather..

When Heathers mom booked her session she said wanted it to be a fun photo shoot that focuses on just Heather and shows off all of her beauty, the second I met Heather I knew it wouldn't be hard to do. Scheduling photo shoots is something fun that her mom does for all of her kids that allows them to have a chance to be the only one in the spotlight for a few hours. Heather is such a beautiful young girl and has some of the most striking features. This girls eyes are so intense and something that's very easy to focus on because they just stand out and create this very moody expression. I'm so glad her mom called, they were so fun to be with!

..Senior Peek..

I have a whole bunch of pictures I need to get posted. This senior session is included, I walked away with so many pictures from this session that I didn't know how I would ever narrow it down...I guess it's a curse that hits when I'm lucky enough to photograph such beautiful people!

..Brown Family..

I happen to be related to these guys! Every time Kirsti and I get together we always have so much fun and laugh at just about everything. I did their family pictures last summer, and I cannot even believe how much Haydon has grown up and changed. He still has the most "chill" personality I've ever seen in a little kid, and I think it's totally unfair that he is such a good baby for his mom & dad. Besides being unbelievably mellow....he is the most handsome little guy around and seriously makes my day whenever I see him!

Brandon's only requirement was that there HAD to be pictures with the old truck. Simple as that.

This picture of Haydon & his little puppy Chip absolutely melts my heart!

..Peavler Family..

I was able to shoot these pictures for this cute family while we were in Wyoming visiting our own family. We weren't even sure if we were going to be able to do pictures, it had been raining on and off all day and windy. Luck was definitely on our side, because literally 5 minutes before we were about to head up the mountain all of the sudden it stopped raining, no more wind, the sun broke through the clouds and created the warmest lighting. Let's not forget to mention how completely adorable Liya is! That girl is full of spunk and just did her own thing, posed the way she wanted to and totally loved being center of attention!!

We told her to grab and smell the pretty flowers. This little weed is all she was able to wiggle out of the ground.
