I took Taylor’s senior pictures last year – and had a GREAT time with her! She messaged me about the mini-sessions last week and we got some GREAT shots!

She is SUCH a natural in front of the camera!

I love love LOVE that photo! I couldn’t pick between black & white or color …

I could seriously photograph her all day!!

I LOVE that shot!

Again – I couldn’t decide between black & white – so here is the color version …

Taylor – thank you SO much for scheduling with me – I always have a GREAT time at our sessions!!

I took Allison’s maternity photos and *O*’s newborn photos – what seems like so long ago!!

She messaged me about the mini-sessions last week and I got to see how big the boys have gotten!

*B* is so cute!

*O* has gotten so big!

LOOK AT THAT SMILE!

Oh I love love LOVE that shot!

*O* wasn’t all about getting his photo taken but I captured a few great ones of him!

Allison – those eyes are gonna get your boys in trouble!

Thanks so much for setting up a session with me! Can’t wait to see you next time!

I love taking photos with Rachel! She set up a mini-session with her sweet little girl last week!

I mean seriously – how CUTE is she!!

HOW GORGEOUS IS SHE! I am seriously blessed with AMAZINGLY beautiful clients!!

WHOA!!

Rachel – thank you so much for being a great friend and wonderful mother to your sweetness! See you again soon!

Can’t believe I totally forgot to post a blog yesterday! Well – the time is coming where it won’t be updated everyday anyway!!

Angie also responded pretty quick to my FACEBOOK alert of mini-sessions!

I had never been a big fan – but I will definitely be holding more spur of the moment mini-sessions in the future!

GORGEOUS!!!!

Angie is a Lia Sophia consultant – you can contact her here!

LOVE that shot!

Angie – thanks so much for coming over and playing in the snow with me! I had a GREAT time!

This week we got ANOTHER snowstorm! ANOTHER!

Jared and I fasted TV last week because we (meaning mostly me) watch way too much! Monday and Tuesday I cleaned – by Wednesday I was so bored!

I decided to put it out on FACEBOOK that I would do $50 mini-sessions for anyone willing to come to my house – within the next few hours!

Ashley responded quickly and brought her puppas with her!

Seriously – look at her eyes! HOW GORGEOUS! I couldn’t choose between color or black & white – here you go …

It was a PERFECT day for pictures in the snow – not too cold and NO sun!

I love love LOVE animal shoots!

That shot might be my favorite – OH WAIT – and the next one!

WHOA! LOVE THAT ONE!

Ashley – thanks so much for your quick response and trudging through the snow and sleet with me!

On March 19th we had our first baby shower! We had it at our church – Liberty Bible Church – and had such a great time!

I love love LOVE peeps! I wanted to keep it low key – and the balloons and peeps worked great!!

My beautiful friend Stephanie made this cake for me – UNBELIEVABLE!

My friend and fellow photographer – Megan Hampton made these for Fitzy!!! AMAZING!

Kelly and Hannah got this BEAUTIFUL diaper bag for us – OH MY! I love it!

Tarren MADE this AMAZING scrapbook for Fitzy! I can’t even begin to describe the awesomeness!

THANK YOU EVERYONE who came out to celebrate our baby with us! We are so blessed to have EACH OF YOU in our lives!

I know *H* through her aunt – Miranda! We had a BEAUTIFUL day last week to take her photos!

*H* was shy throughout most of our session – as soon as I mentioned that she could come to the house and see Schrute when we were done – she was SOLD!

These are some of my favorite images of a kiddo EVER!

I mean seriously – FOUR YEARS OLD!!!

Such a natural in front of the camera!

OH MY! I love love LOVE those shots!

Thank you so much Shaina for coming over! I am so glad you got to meet Schrute and love him!

Jackie and her family won the BEAUTIFUL contest last year! I have become friends with her over FACEBOOK and am so blessed to be in their lives!

We set up an appointment for Nicholas and his 2 year photos – but the weather was not cooperative – SURPRISE!

We finally managed to fit in a session in mid-March! I just love this little guy!

Nicholas was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and will be having his 4th heart surgery in July in Oklahoma City!

There will be a chicken BBQ in the Wal*Mart parking lot in Mansfield on May 28th to help benefit Nicholas and his trip and surgery!

I am still working out the details with Jackie – but am hoping to be able to offer mini-mini-sessions that day with the funds to directly benefit the *O* family!

Make sure to come out and support this BEAUTIFUL family!!

HE IS TOO CUTE!

He makes the craziest faces I have ever seen!

My heart just melts at those shots!

Jackie – thank you so much for welcoming me into your lives! Your little guys is such a miracle and a blessing!

I donated a Gift Certificate to the Winterball Benefit Pageant through a facebook friend! *M* won the photo session and we got together last week to take some shots of her.

She was not thrilled to be in front of the camera – at all! Thankfully her Grandpa was there and he helped us get some great shots!

Thanks again for having me in your home Trisha! Good luck with your pageants this year!
