Alex | Bristow High School

I've known Alex indirectly for some time because I am friends with her family. I've wanted to work with her and was excited when we scheduled her senior session. Now admittedly, our session did not get off to a great start. It seemed like nothing was working out like it was supposed to...add to that Alex was sick! It turned out really cold that day and she had to think really warm thoughts to get through the session with what she had chosen to wear. One of the last places we ended up, we found a really cool old car...and a whole mess of stickers in our pants and shoes! Alex is such a beautiful girl, and she did a great job even with all of the hiccups we had along the way. Best wishes for a great senior year, Alex!

Let's exhale. Shall we?

Whew! So all Christmas deadlines have been met...yay! I'm currently still working on meeting some senior deadlines but seeing daylight...yay! I finished shooting my last session this morning with Baby Z and will be off from shooting for several days...yay! I'm SO looking forward to spending some much needed time with my family during the holidays. I love my husband and boys more than anything and this time of year is always so hectic for our family. I will be completely closed (won't be answering the phone or emails or anything) on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. As my photographer friends (and their families!!) well know, this time of year is a challenge to get through! Around Christmas, we can all finally take a deep breath and exhale...and it's really nice! :) Thank you SO MUCH to all my clients that have made my business what it is. I appreciate each and every one of you!!

Merry Christmas and have a blessed and Happy New Year! :)

Luke | Bristow High School

Luke is not only a senior but also quite the musician from what I hear. He is a drummer in a band called Chasing Eminence. He wanted to go a different direction with his senior session, so we tried to come up with some different looks for him. I enjoyed working with he and his mom...even though they did make me go on a roof and I'm TOTALLY scared of heights! Best wishes for the remainder of your senior year, Luke! And don't forget to check out his band on Facebook! :)

Chris | Bristow High School

This was such a fun session! Between me and Chris' mom and sister, we drug that poor guy around all over the place! :) I know he hears this a lot but he really does resemble one of the vampire dudes. He's kind of a retro/vampire type, and has a very cool look. When I told his mom we were on a schedule to make it to all the desire locations before dark...she took that VERY seriously. We pretty much Dukes of Hazzard-ed her Tahoe over a bridge. All that was missing was one of us saying "Yeeeee Hawwwww!" She swore that bump didn't used to be there...hehe! This session ranks right up there as one of the sessions where I've laughed the most! Best wishes for an awesome future, Chris!

New momma...Jenny

Yes, Jenny is already a new momma! Between me being behind on editing and Miss Breken making her arrival early, Jenny has already experienced the joy of being a new mom for about a week now. :) Jenny is always a pleasure to work with and was absolutely adorable pregnant! You want to dislike her because she's one of those women that doesn't get a stretch mark, and can still wear most all of her clothes...but she's just too darned sweet to dislike! :) I'm a little sad that I can't post some of my favorites because she was a little less covered in those shots. It seems like just yesterday I was shooting her senior pictures! Congratulations...Baby Breken is adorable!!

Miss Kayden

Miss Kayden is such a pretty little thing, and we had been trying to coordinate for her session for quite sometime. She is quite the little character. She can go from happy and smiling, to crying and back to smiling in nothing flat. In the flower pot picture below, she appears to be VERY unhappy pretending to be a flower but the very next frame is the shot of her looking sweet as pie. :) She may have some acting in her future. LOL!




I don't like being a flower!


Well, maybe it isn't soooo bad. :)

The Banks Family

The Banks Family recently had a new addition to their family...Miss Brook! I had to laugh because she is a very cute mini version of her big brother, Brock. :) We decided to attempt an outdoor family session...on a day, of course, that turned cold. Miss Brook wasn't too happy with the situation and Brock is like most boys and would rather be doing anything other than having his picture taken! With that said, I think we managed to get some really cute shots of this family. And Miss Brook is an absolute doll...congratulations! :)
