This is my nephew.  Look closely at his eyes.  

I told Brode he was cute so many times that I worried later he might think I was a weirdo. Great smile! Beautiful Eyes! Just perfect! I am so happy I got to take Brode’s senior pictures!

Long ago in a land far away I was not a photographer. I worked in the Business Office at a school. Chelsea was my student office aide. She helped me do filing and such. Even then she was a sweet and lovely girl and responsible too. Chelsea had a boyfriend named Casey. After highschool Chelsea went to college and got her teaching degree. She still had a boyfriend named Casey. Chelsea and Casey got married a couple of weeks ago and I got to be the photographer at their wedding! I am so proud of Chelsea and I know she will be a great teacher, and wife, and someday a mom. This is one of my favorite images from her wedding. This is the end of my little story but just the beginning for Chelsea and Casey

Michelle is so gorgeous it is hard to believe she has not one, but two babies to chase after? and those babies provide lots of comic entertainment!I told them to walk and for her to swing her skirt. She was prissing so hard that walking became impossible!!This was before she declared “Mama I MAD!” and didn’t want to take anymore pictures!This one thought it was hilarious to scare us to pieces trying to crawl off the edge of the porch!

Wow, what a pretty family!!

I had so much fun shooting this Winters senior and trying to make him laugh. All I had to do was say “look sexy” or something like that and he would crack up, messing up his “serious, I-am-tough face”.
“serious”“I am tough”“I am seriously contemplating my future”“look sexy”……see!! That is all it took! TOO CUTE.

I loved Braden and his mama too! And he had a pretty awesome truck!

I met with James and Heather last week to do an engagement shoot while he was home on leave from Iraq. They are high school sweethearts and the perfect couple. I am over-the-moon excited at how this photo turned out.

here are a few more from the session
James wasn’t all fired up about posing in front of this Navy guy. He is ARMY and there is a big difference! With a little arm twisting he was up for it!Heather is so beautiful I think she looks like a famous actress. I really loved how in this one you could see her ring and his army fatigues and boots. They haven’t set their wedding date for sure yet because they have to wait for him to come home from Iraq.

What a beautiful couple! Godspeed to James in his safe return from Iraq.

I had MORE fun photographing this senior and designing her invitations!
