SNAKE!!!!!!!!!

Saturday I was able to spend the whole day out with my boys. We had a wonderful time! When we got home we decided to go take some photos of them since it was such a beautiful afternoon. Everything was going great & I was getting amazing photos of them until I happened to notice something move in the grass! I was laying down trying to get an artsy photo of Kolton, and I saw & heard the grass move right beside my arm! At first I thought a toad hopped (we have LOTS of toads where I live), but all of the sudden this big, black snake tail whipped out of the grass! Right in my FACE!!!! You can only imagine the high pitched scream I belted out!!!! Needless to say, I was ready to go home at that point! I am just so thankful he was obviously slithering away from me instead of towards me! Ugh!! I shutter every time I think about it!!!

I call this one "Flower For My Mommy"

Oh how I love their handsome smiles!!

Love my boys! :)

GOOD TIMES!!!!

Brittany & Oscar

I had the funnest (I don't care what the hubby says...funnest is too a word!! Ha! Ha!) engagement session with this couple! They are absolutely adorable!

Their session started off with really cloudy skies, and according to the radar we only had a few minutes before we were going to get hammered with rain!

We were pretty bummed that the rain started right when we really got into the session, but I did risk equipment & hair to get this sweet shot of them!

I love for my clients to bring something meaningful with them on their sessions like photos, etc., so that I can incorporate them into some of my portraits. I especially loved the things Brittany brought. She was so creative & put a lot of thought into their session.

The photo below is my favorite from their session. 

They are such a precious couple. I loved editing their photos & especially designing their custom album. Below are a few pages from it.

Above is a slideshow of their entire session.

Congratulations Brittany & Oscar on your upcoming marriage! I wish you guys all the love and luck in the world! See you again in January!

My Favorite Photographer

Today I had the best time with my favorite photographer, Tonee Lawrence. Tonee is not only an amazing photographer, but also one of my best friends!

Our fun day started with a text from her saying lets go take pictures, and scout for some new locations, and of course I said, "Oh yeah!"

Our journey started with a trip to Sonic since I was craving a corn dog and a cherry vanilla root beer. Then we were off!

We live in a really small town with a population of plus or minus 3000 people, and we decided to try to find an old cemetery to take photos in. Using our phones we GPS'd cemeteries close by, and found about 7 of them.

We ended up stumbling across the first one on accident, but there was too many people there. The second we never could find. We finally gave up trying to find it when dogs started chasing us.

The third one took us about 2 hours to find since her phone kept having us drive in circles until we finally found it. If you know us, and know where we live then you will probably find it hard to believe that there is that much road to even drive on in this one street light town. Plus, the squirrel that wouldn't get out of the middle of the road and let us pass took a little bit of our time, and there was also an issue with a goat. Once we found the cemetery we decided there was too many people there too though.

So we were off again. This time we found the fourth cemetery just fine, and we had it all to ourselves!

For some reason we thought changing shoes was extremely funny!

Tonee heard a car coming, and dropped to the ground yelling, "Here comes a car! I don't want them to see us!" Funny girl!

Argh! Pirate faces in cemeteries are cool!!!! HA!

So that was my awesome afternoon with my awesome friend! Can't wait to do it again!

Beautiful Family

I had such a wonderful time capturing this family! They are all so sweet!

A few of of my favorites

I Love Red Heads!!!

I have always loved red hair. My precious little sister, Jessica, has the most beautiful red hair. I even colored my hair red for several years. So when this red headed beauty asked me to take her senior portraits I was super excited!

Little Miss Independent

It's been a while since my last blog. Ever since the tornado life has been pretty busy. I have had several sessions since my last blog, and below are a few peeks from one of my many favorites.

I met Kyleigh and her mom, Kelly, at one of my favorite locations, the pecan orchard. Before they got there I took some time to walk around, and try to plan some of my shots. I soon realized that the orchard had sustained pretty bad damage from the recent storms. Several of the trees had been broken at or near the base; it was so sad to see so many of those beautiful trees torn down. To be honest, it was not only sad, but I kind of panicked a bit since now I had no place to shoot, and my client was on their way. So I started walking. I ended up finding a beautiful field with yellow wildflowers and a gorgeous little pond. I was elated!

When Kelly arrived Kyleigh was asleep in the car. Since she is only 2 I was a bit nervous about this especially since I know how grumpy I am when my nap is disturbed. I asked Kelly if she had a good nap earlier in the day, and she said Kyleigh didn't take a nap because she sleeps late on Saturday. I thought to myself, "Oh no! This may not go well." I guess Kelly was reading my mind because she told me she would perk right up.

Kelly opened the door to the car, woke her up, and this beautiful, blonde haired, blue eyed 2 year old hugs her mommy's leg, and says, "My mommy!" And then promptly gave me a beautiful smile. For 2 years old I was amazed at how quick she did perk up, and how independent she was. The only time she fussed at all during the session was when Kelly wanted to carry her over some mud. She wanted to do everything all by herself.

Here are few pictures of Little Miss Independent.
