There is an end!

This is how I feel:) I'm seeing an end to the '07 Christmas Card season. YEAH! My schedule lightens up in December so I can attempt to shop and enjoy the reason for the season with my family. I can't tell you how much fun my job is especially when I see the same kiddos year to year it's fun to watch them grow and be a part of their life. I met these beautiful girls last year...their daddy is Mike Drumright he is the awesome builder who built my house and new studio. He did a great job, I'm so happy to have finally moved in. So for any of you who may be looking to build check him out...INK Drumright constuction.

I Love Kansas City!

Kansas City in the fall, is just beautiful! I went up to visit one of my best friends and we had a ball! Look at her family, they are so adorable. I haven't got a chance to really look at all of her pics but thought this was just amazing, wish we had something like that here in Wichita. Not only did we have a fun photo shoot but we also did a little shopping in some small towns around KC. We went to Nell Hills in Atchison KS (great little home decorating store), and Parkville, which I found a red and black antique chair I will be shooting pics on. Can't wait to go back up there!

I always have fun with this family! She's an old friend and I've got to see her family grow. Little Dillon just turned one and Bella is being a little ham! I thought this was a sweet capture.

Beautiful Girl

This little one was so sweet and so cooperative, she just conformed to the dresser drawer. She's 3 months and you never know how a little one is going to be but she was a doll. I love this image!

Back from the BIG ISLAND!!!!!

We had such a good time in Hawaii! We went with two very good friends who celebrated their 10 year anniversary and just had a ball. As you can see the sunsets were beautiful:) And of course I made everyone get dressed up for a little photo shoot, the guys were such good sports! We were able to experience so many cool things...we saw the whole island from a helicopter which was awesome. It was a much needed break and now it's back to reality and the hectic life of 3 boys playing football, getting ready for school, and the Christmas season. If you are wanting a session for those Christmas cards we are almost full...we have five appts left in Oct. and a few in Nov. so please try to plan ahead and give us a call if you would like to schedule.

QT PIE

Look at this QT Pie! She is just adorable in her mama's old vintage dress with little pom poms. Your going to like these mom!

Such a sweet family!

I think I must have the best job in the world! I get to meet so many different people everyday. This family was so sweet and fun to work with...we a really good time. They were up for anything even back by my rocks which were squishy, squishy, squishy between our toes because of all the rain. And just look what a beautiful couple they make:)

What a blessing!

This little one Alaina was so fun to shoot...you never know what mood a baby is going to be in and she was so mellow and she just let us play so we took full advantage. I had her on different chairs outdoors, inside...you name it just wanted to give you a peek mom and just to warn you there are lots of beautiful pictures!!! Can't wait for you to see them.

LITTLE ANGEL

This is Giavanna Alexandra my new little God-daughter. I love her!!! I spent the last week in Flordia getting to know this new little one and we bonded. She is such a good baby and since most of you know I have 3 boys so to have a little girl like this is all new to me. Giavanna is definately going to be a social bug... just like her mama you can totally tell. She loves to be around people and the more the merrier it was to cute. And the way her big brother Alex took care of her that was priceless she is one lucky girl.

Trying to keep up!

I haven't been doing very good at keeping up with my blog...So I'm going to try a little harder I just got back from vacation and I am an editing machine tonite and this picture took me back to the other morning...I had to share this, this little guy said "I don't like getting my picture taken but I'll do it!" He was a trooper too. This is his favorite hat and when I asked him to put it on he just lit up, like a totally different kid, wow!

Watch out Paris!

this picture just cracks me up! She had ATTITUDE for a 6 mo old. Her name is Charley and she had such a great session with priceless expressions. Dad your going to have your hands full!

Brothers

Look at these two cuties! Mom I thought I'd give you a little sneak peek of your little ones. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Edie!

Just the Girls! My niece, Edie celebrated her 10th birthday party on May 5th. Since I have the 3 boys I was asked to help with her birthday party, which was so fun! We decided to do a little photo shoot around the neighborhood, they were too cute! She is the one that is not in a hot pink shirt with the blonde hair. She is such a sweetie. Her teacher even stopped by for a short visit. Makes me want to have a little girl!

So MANY Changes

As most of you know by now we are moving to our NEW studio next week!!! We are SOOO EXCITED! This has been a long awaited process. I can't wait for everybody to see it. We also have a new addition to our family as if our life hasn't been hectic enough. His name is Bandit aka Little Buddy. He is a min pin and we adopted him from the rescue shelter. He is 2-years-old and is such a good boy! He is very mellow and laid back and fits into our family very well. His favorite place to sleep is on my leopard chair...he has fabulous taste:)
