One word... precious...

1st Day of School...

It seems like just yesterday I found out I was going to be a mom... and 10 years later, I have a wonderful young man entering the 5th grade, along with a vibrant young lady going into 1st grade.

I couldn't be more proud of the both of them!  I am so privileged to be their mom!

And another beautiful senior...

Beautiful Senior...

I had the pleasure of photographing my niece's senior pictures this past weekend.  This is a girl who I would babysit occassionally, and now she's looking forward to the rest of her life ;)  It's been a privilige to know her... 

Good luck to the class of 2011! 

Baby, baby...

These twins are turning 5 months old in a few days... how precious are they????  I even get another chance in a couple of weeks to photograph them!  I can't wait... and hoping that they are both happy and well-rested so I can get the 2 of them together :)

My 1st family...

This was the first time I photographed a family... as a favor for a friend :)  This was a celebration of Mom & Dad's 50th Anniversary!!!  Bless them... :)

My nerves were frazzled, but I think I did ok???  I still need to tweak some of the processing - it's definitely a learning experience!

One of my favorites!

My favorite, I think!

Summer sightings...

While wandering in my backyard, I discovered these - blackberry bushes! I'm not a huge fan of them, but I thought it was pretty cool... if you stop mowing a section of lawn, eventually you get wild flowers, blueberries and blackberries. We even have trees starting to grow!

I love watermelon :)

From my garden!

Girls, girls, girls...

Boy... I had lots of willing models for me this week! I need these girls to come spend a day with me... I'd love it!~

Little Lily... Not so little anymore ~ she looks so grown up here!

What a cutie!

Watch out... in a few years these girls will be hitting the town!

Memorial Day

The kiddos and I treated ourselves to a Memorial Day special :) We headed over to the local ice cream parlor on this beautiful day! It was so great to spend this time with my children... these are the special days to remember...

Junior Prom...

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing my niece before she left for her prom :) I can't even believe how time flies! Just the other day she was born, then a few days later we were at a tea party for her 6th birthday. A couple of days after that she was begging to hold my baby, then I blinked... she got her driver's license... and now... well, it's prom time, and getting ready for her Senior year.

These girls rocked! They were so much fun!

This would've been much better if it were more in focus AND if I didn't chop Christine's hand off :) Ah, well... It's still post-worthy!

I just love close-ups... especially with those blue eyes!

How beautiful does she look? Really!














And another jumping shot... my daughter just had to do it with the big kids!

Loved these girls!
