8 Month old Thomas

I had so much fun photographing 8-month old Thomas! He is a very active little boy with a lot of personality. He loved standing in the basket and rocking it. He knocked it over once but his mom was right there to catch him!

He wanted so badly to walk around this chair, he did a great job pulling himself up but getting his feet to move took a little more effort. Then he wanted to climb on the chair. That one did need some help from Mom.

He also loves to put everything in his mouth. The other night he was at my house with his family and was trying to eat my feet while I was making dessert! This one with the chair is one of my favorites. (Don't worry mom's I disinfected it after he left.)

I love photographing babies at the different stages of their first year. They change so much and learn so many new things.

Special Events

Special events need to be remembered. These sweet girls, (yes one is my daughter) were celebrating their baptisms. What better way to remember this special day than with pictures.

For me, as Kiara's mother, I wanted it not only to be a remembrance of that day but a reminder of the importance of baptism and the promise that she made to follow our Savior, Jesus. I am so proud of her and the decision she made to be baptized.

Emily is a friend of Kiara's and we took a day and went shopping for these special dresses. The girls, along with another friend, tried on many dresses. When we arrived at the store I walked over to the white dresses and told Kiara to pick out a few to try on. She surprised me and said that she already knew what dress she wanted, when I asked which one she said "The same one Savannah was buried in." I cried and told her if we could find it, she could have it. I wasn't hopeful that we would find it since we bought Savannah's dress 2 years ago. We found it a size to big on a clearance rack. We bought it and had Lucy at Carousel Bridal in Jay alter it for us. It fit perfect!

Senior Pictures Already!!

It's crazy to think that we photographers are already thinking about Senior Pictures for the Class of 2011 but it is true! I am looking for a few high school juniors who are interested in becoming spokesmodels for the Class of 2011. There are amazing benefits to being a spokesmodel!! And the prizes for this year will blow your mind!! Call me for details!!

Save a Smile!

My hero's, Savannah and Embree

In honor of one of my greatest hero's, my niece Embree, for the month of October half of all Family Portrait Session will be donated to Operation Smile. Operation Smile funds surgeries for children born with Cleft lips and Cleft palates.

At the age of 3 Embree has already undergone numerous surgeries and still has many more to do!
