I'm back....

I know I haven't blogged in a while. I've been super crazy busy lately!! My dad came for a visit. Then Craig's band came into town to play some shows (more on that later). And I've started my busy holiday photos season. It's going to be a crazy month! And I'll be posting TONS more photos as the weeks go on. No more long blogging breaks for me!

Now... on to this super cool family.

I'm sure you will notice this cute little boy below. He's starred on this blog a few times already and has pictures all over my website. He's super awesome! Probably because his parents are pretty darn cool. This is one of my favorite families to photograph.

We got together a few weeks ago to take some family photos, and a few portraits of Mr. "T". I'm finally getting around to posting them. Enjoy!

Miss "Z" - Baby Girl!

Tere contacted me a while back to photograph her new granddaughter, "Z". This is the first time I've photographed a premie this age, so I wasn't sure what to expect. "Z" is 3 months old and so adorably tiny! She may come in a little package, but her cuteness is endless!

I think we managed to get some great photographs of this little girl. Here's a mini sneak peek...

"Z's" parents Mel and Kevin (Tere's son), were very cute with their new baby. I love doing simple black and white photographs of parents and their young children. They're timeless photographs... simple and classic.

Thank you Tere for inviting me to spend time with your family!! It was a pleasure getting to photograph little "Z"!

Pigtails and Puppy Tails

This post is a little sneak peek for my friend, Amy. I met up with Amy and her family two weekends ago to take some photos for them. Amy just got a new puppy, and she has an adorable niece... so of course, they got most of the camera attention!!

Amy's niece is one of the most adorable little girls ever!! Uh... those eyes are to die for! And her pigtails are too cute!!

Let me introduce you to two of the best dogs ever.

Black Lab on Left: Dakota - the BEST dog in the entire world!!

Yellow Lab on Right: June - the BEST puppy in the entire world!

If labs are just this well behaved, then I think I need my dog to hang around a lab pack. She needs some good influences.

There's no photoshop here... these dogs really were this good off leash!

Even when they are being tackled... best dogs ever!

OK... a few more of this cutie...

Amy, it was so nice meeting your family. I'll get your photos finished as soon as I can!

One Sunday Morning...

Oh how fast children grow!! It always amazes me how many changes the first year of life brings. Some of you may remember when I did little "M's" newborn photos. Well, now she's six months old and just look how she has grown!

This time we did lots more family photos. Mom, dad, and big sister all joined in. "M's" big sister was happy to show me her modeling poses... and I just LOVE her heart dress!

Halloween is right around the corner... "M" is going to be a lady bug. And big sister is going to be a purple butterfly. The photo below may not show the entire butterfly outfit, but seriously... those blue eyes are awesome!! So I chose this photo to make all the brown eye people of the world jealous... me included.

Spending my Sunday morning photographing these girls was lots of fun. They are so super cute and I loved getting to see their halloween costumes!
