Mr. B all the way from Utah

This little man and his very beautiful Mama came all the way from Utah for his portrait session.









He was wide awake the whole time and he sure did like eating those cute little fists of his.



Check out those amazing blue eyes.



He used up quite a few smiles before he arrived at his photo session but we managed to pull a few more out of him and that face is so sweet even without smiles how can you not love him.

Even the rain couldn't stop us

June has been a really rainy month this year. But we were not going to let it stop us from getting some Maternity pictures done of my sweet friend and coworker.




She is not only a very sweet woman, but a fabulous coworker, I miss worknig with her now that she is in another department...





Her Hubby is such a sport and even hopped in a few pictures when we asked.



How fitting she had this blue umbrella since she is having a little boy any day now.





I can't wait to get the baby pictures of your little boy once he makes his grand entrance! Hopefully his big sister will want to get in some pictures too!!

A closer look

I have been itching to play with my macro lens more. I really love this lens and just don't get to use it as often as I would like. I took it out onto my pack patio today and played around with capturing some closeups of various plants back there. These 3 ended up being my favorites out of the couple dozen I took.

Penny's got a new hair style

I have not really had a proper chance to introduce my sweet Blythe Doll I named Penelope Paprika (Penny) because I really have not had a chance to do a proper photo session with her. However, today when I got home I was feeling kind of blue from a rough couple days at work, and the fact it is still raining. Well I a a little package waiting from a sweet friend and fellow photographer, Heather. Inside was a new wig for Penny so I had to change her and slip the new wig on so I could snap off a few quick pictures. Doesn't she rock her new pink and purple style?






As I walked by a mirror I noticed my hair was looking a little like Penny's. So I think it is either time to cut it all off, move some place with less humidity, or dye it pink and purple so penny can be my mini me. What do you think?

A severe case of the wiggles

So my friend Em wanted ONE decent pictures of her boys together as a father's day gift for her sweet hubby. Sounds like a simple request, nothting perfect just both boys in the same picture looking at the camera. Well seeing as Sir O. had quite a severe case of the wiggles it turned out to be quite the challenge.












I thought it would be cute since Dad is in his last year of Dental school to pick up these Giant tooth brushes at the dollar store. Umm bad idea, when Sir O. wasn't trying to brush his teeth, his brother's hair or some bird poop off a rock he was just swinging it around.



Luckily Dad was willing to hop in a few pictures too, still not an easy task to calm the wiggles we managed to get a few with both boys at least looking my general direction.





Love these little boys but I sure don't envy his mom having to keep up with him all day. The Captain fell asleep as they were getting ready to leave, just watching Sir O. wore him out.

One more from the group as promised

As I mentioned in my last post that we had one girl missing from the group and it just would not have been complete without some pictures of her. Well with the fear of having some unattractive camping pictures or some from pioneer trek photo-shopped in she swung by my house for some quick shots. So sfter she helped me chase my evil dog around the block and catch him we took a few quick pictures of her so I would have them for a project being worked on for all 6 seniors.










Isn’t she beautiful? She has 2 gorgeous sisters too that I need to get pictures of at some point. I have known this beautiful young woman for years and I knew her parents back when I was younger than she is now, it was before she was even born, man that makes me feel old. There will always be a special place in my heart for this young woman and her entire family for that matter.








We had an audience the entire time. Yep about six little bunnies were hopping all around checking us out while we were trying to get the pictures taken. So I had to shoot a few of them too. As you can see they were a bit camera shy.





Best of luck next year at College, I will miss you!!

A fun group of Seniors

I have had the privilege of working with this great group of young adults through church. They are really are a remarkable group that I am going to miss as they start their next stage of life which will take most of them west for college. We just grabbed these shots right outside of church and were kind of regulated to one spot since it was the only shade we could find. It was still a ton of fun though to get to do this mini session with them.





This shot took about 6 or 7 tries till we gave up since we knew we were not going to get one that everyone was happy with. The funniest part is the one that wanted to keep retaking the shots is the one that had his appendix out 10 days prior.





Aside from the group shots we got some individuals of each one.

Yep this is the same girl that crawled in a dumpster full of books from my previous post.



This here handsome fellow is the older brother of the last sweet baby that flipped me off... Yep he is the oldest of the 7 children in the family..



This photogenic beauty will be moving to Texas then heading to Idaho for school, she has one busy summer coming up!!



This handsome guy was such a trooper, went along with all our crazy ideas, and his mom hung out with us while we got the shots taken!!




This Rock-star organized the whole thing so we could do the pictures before everyone went their separate ways after High School.



We were missing one of the girls that had to take off right after church so I am going to try to get some individual shots of her soon, so be sure to check back.

Congrats to you all and best of luck next year!!

Oh and just because this one cracked me up I had to add it.
