If your a photographer you know how hard it is to get pictures of your own family. (and I guess even if you arent one too) Much less get ones you truly love. I always look at my clients images and dream of having them of my own. My kids are pretty well photographed but as a family, not so much and Steve and I together, forget it! Well for a week now I knew I wanted to TRY to get some before my upcoming surgery, it was really important to me. Knowing this my sweet husband told our kids to behave and cooperate and pretend your having fun, do it for mom. SOOO im calling these “pity mom surgery pics” but HEy you have to take what you can get. We actually did have a pretty good time out together and the kids (and steve) and even Vegas (our wonder dog) were the best they have ever been for family pictures. I wasnt convinced we got anything amazing but I am so beyond thrilled with these. Just us. Just fun. Just jeans and a field. God has blessed me so.

This will be my last post for a while. Surgery is Thursday. I will be off of work for several weeks. Please email me with any questions or to book your Fall session. This is the time to start thinking about Christmas cards and gift portraits. Book early!

LOve you all. Thank you for all of your prayers, I will keep you updated as much as I can!

we had such a fun session at one of my favorite places! this young family was awesome to be with and as you can tell arent too shabby to photograph either. i am thrilled we captured so many great ones of the three, mom will get to decorate her walls very nicely!! Thank you guys and have a great time out of town (they are jet setters for the summer….LUCKY!)

i was lucky enough to meet lil landon at the Franklin St. Festival. I immediatly fell for him and he immediatly fell in love with me. (well maybe it was my necklaces that he loved) either way. it was love i was thrilled when i found out he was one of the winners of our drawing! Isnt he beautiful? The session went great and as usual I took way too many photographs and have sooo many great ones! Here are just a few!
