Haley | Bristow High School

I've known Miss Haley since she was just a baby. I never dreamed that I would be taking her senior pictures some day! The fall colors were just gorgeous when we shot Haley's session...and it was one of the first days it was actually pretty chilly shooting! Haley is obviously pretty...but also just as sweet. :) We had a lot of laughs shooting her session. Have an awesome senior year, Haley!

Caleb | Bristow High School

Anyone that knows Caleb knows that he is a fun guy to be around. He told me from the first of the session that he would not be able to give me any of those "serious faces." We cut up and laughed a lot...but I actually did get a few serious faces out of him in between laughs. :) I was happy to see that Caleb brought more than one t-shirt like his brother did when I shot his senior pictures! LOL! It was a pleasure working with you, Caleb! Best wishes for a great senior year!

The Dodd Family

It was a pleasure to finally meet the Dodd Family. Jentry and I had been emailing back and forth for sometime trying to get an appointment worked out. They are such a beautiful (and beautifully coordinated!!) family. :) We, of course, had a ridiculous wind to deal with the day we shot, but we did the best we could...and I think we got some great shots! Again, thank you, for being patient since it's taken longer than usual to process this session. Tis the season, I suppose! Have a wonderful holiday and can't wait to see you again!

My List

Happy Thanksgiving to all my family, friends and clients out there! I have so much to be thankful for this year. First and foremost...at this very moment, I'm thankful Cale can breathe and is feeling better! Thank the Lord for urgent care and medication!

I have so many other things to be thankful for and it's the perfect time to take a few minutes to remember a few of those things. I'm so very thankful for my husband and my marriage. Marriage certainly isn't always easy, but I'm so very lucky and blessed to be married to my best friend and couldn't imagine my life without him. I'm thankful for my two knot-headed boys. Thank you, Lord, that they are happy and healthy enough to drive me crazy on a daily basis. :) I'm thankful for still having my momma. She's always in my corner and is always there to support me...she's the best. I'm thankful for reaching a point in the last five years where I can remember my dad happily...and thankful for the wonderful memories I had with him. I'm thankful to have a mother-in-law that I love and get along with. She is such a giver of her time. I'm thankful for my friend, Denise. We typically take our daily walks through life together celebrating our ups and downs every step of the way. We swear we have to be sistas...somehow, someway. :)

I'm so very thankful for my clients who make my business what it is and allow me to do something that I love so dearly. This time of year is always absolute craziness...but I still wouldn't change it. I feel amazingly blessed to be able to create memories for families they can cherish for a lifetime. I'm able to feed my creative nature...and through that have forged true friendships with many of my clients. Thank you for continuing to come back to me...as I appreciate each and every session.

There is so much more I'm thankful for, but since I've been told I'm "wordy," I'm going to try to leave this with just hitting the high points. :)

From me to you...have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving! :)

The Womack & Davis Families

I think it's safe to say that this session just about did in all who were involved! LOL! We had a baby who was teething and had kept his parents up all night. We had two other kids that I'm sure had ants in their pants. :) We even had cats that came out of no where that were running through almost every frame! It was craziness, I tell you! But through it all, we did manage to get this family some great shots! We were certainly determined!!

Garrett...another cute cowboy!

I was excited when I talked with Garrett's parents and they let me know they wanted me to take Garrett's pictures. He's such a handsome little guy, and I knew he would be fun to work with. We ended up at some really cool places around their house. We went way back in the woods to one spot. On the drive over we saw a deer and some wild turkeys...so it was pretty cool. I have to say that Garrett's true personality finally came out once we he broke out the cowboy hat...then it was on! :)

Colby...Mr. Cowboy :)

What a session I had with Mr. Colby! By the time we got done with him, we felt like we had traveled through three counties! He's a busy man with not much interest in being a model. :) He likes his dog, his horse, the tractor and riding round bales! He's such a cute little stink even if he is a mover and a shaker! His momma really wanted some shots with him and his dog, and well, we did the best we could...but the dog wasn't really interested in being a model either. I think we might have needed a video camera on Cheryl, because I'm not sure what she was doing, but it was the ONLY time he really laughed through the entire session. :)

The Conkling Family

I always enjoy hanging out with the Conkling family. They are not only a great looking family...but they are also our good friends. :) Most everyone knows that Chuck is Bristow Fire Department's Assistant Chief, so we took some shots down at the FD and also around town. We could only shoot at a fraction of the places I wanted to in town because the wasps were out in full force! I guess because it was a warmer day they decided to swarm...but the girls weren't having any part of it!! So we gave up on town shooting and headed to their house where we shot some pretty stuff in their pasture and around their pond. You might even catch their dog, Charlie, in the background hopping through the pasture. The pasture is tall and he's not much for walking THROUGH it...he's more for hopping OVER it. It's hilarious! One fun difference about this session? We cooked out and had dinner after it was over! :)

Sophie & Sadie

Every time I work with the Varner's, I always say this...it's an adventure! :) This time, however, it did not include cow poo at least! LOL! Lisa, Sophie and Sadie's mom, always puts great thought into what kind of look she wants for their sessions which is always a lot of fun. We had several looks to work with this time, but I loved the old vintage luggage...very cool!! Even though we had to battle the wind, we managed to get some really cute shots of the girls. It's definitely always a pleasure! Can't wait to see you girls again!

Dekota | Bristow High School

What started off as a pretty quiet/indifferent kind of session with Dekota...well, it ended up being rather funny (the "dump squat"). I knew the quiet person he brought to the first part of the session wasn't all there was to him, so his mom and I had to drag it out of him a bit. Plus, frankly, I've been on YouTube, and I knew better. :) Aside from being funny, he's actually a very handsome (don't get the big head!) and sweet guy, and I enjoyed working with him and his mom. Thanks for keeping it interesting, D-Train...and best wishes for the remainder of your senior year!

Taylor | Commerce High School

Taylor and her family made the drive down to come see me for her senior session. Obviously, Taylor is a beautiful girl...and very sweet, too. We had a great time visiting different places around town for her session. I thought it was pretty sweet the support she had from her whole family...mom, dad, grandma and even little brother. :) Taylor was recently accepted to OU (yay!)...her and her family were pretty excited! Best wishes, Taylor, for a wonderful senior year!
