Practice, practice, practice!

So,here lately, I've realized how little time I have spent taking pictures. I took my little cousin, "M," out to do a little practice. Mind you, she said she wasn't very photogenic. I completely disagree! I think she is very photogenic. Thanks for being my model, "M!"

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Well, this week my mom turned the big 6-0. I have been planning her surprise party since...for a while. She made me promise not to ever give her a party, but who was listening to her anyways. Family from all over the country came in to celebrate the occasion with her. My mom has endured many trials and hardships the last few years (my father's death and the death of a brother and sister) and I felt it was only appropriate to show her how much she is loved. Plus, I wanted her to have a good time with about 80 of her friends and family. Happy birthday, Momma! I love you!

The Girls!

I haven't blogged in 2 months! School has started back and things have been hectic there. Needless to say, I haven't made much time to shoot either. Yesterday, after school, I was able to take pictures of two beautiful girls. They are growing up so fast! I've watched "J" grow up over the last 7 years and she is such a fashionista. "E" has been at the school for the last 3 years and she is getting more mature every day. I was very proud of "E" for stepping out of her box and letting Becky and I put her in buggy situations. (She's deathly afraid of them.) Thanks girls for helping me out!

Let's go fishin'!

This past week, I took one of my favorite little people out to take more pictures. I decided to have mom bring his fishing pole along since there was a creek. Well, he had so much fun fishing that he started throwing the pole into the water. Of course, he expected someone to go and get it. I thought I had the nerve to do it, but I let mom do it instead. We also played in the creek. However, I think my favorite picture is the one where he inadvertently gives the "One Finger Salute." That one's for you, Dad. Thanks Wendy for always offering to let me take practice pictures of your son!

He's a runner!

So, the other day I went to Centennial prepared to take pictures of my favorite little boy, S, who recently turned 2. I knew I would be in for it because he's a runner! I couldn't keep up and knew we weren't going to have many pictures to choose from. It' okay though--I still love him. He made me work and rethink my game plan for working with 2 year old boys. Next time, I need chippies (his favorite snack). Lots and lots of chippies.

Beautiful little girls

Once again, I was given the privilege of taking pictures of my co-worker's beautiful girls. I think these pictures came out great! It was a little difficult at times to keep their attention, but we (mom and I) were able to get some nice shots. I hope you enjoy them, B!

Senior 2010 part 2

I took "S" to Centennial Park for part two of her senior pictures. I'm glad we did! It was a little warm, but the lighting was great. I ended up with a lot of great pictures. For once, I was totally excited with the pictures we took.
