Baby Emmitt

Baby Emmitt gave his momma and me a run for our money. He was NOT going down without a fight. :) But we hung in there with him and managed to capture some really sweet shots of this little guy. I shot mom's maternity photos, and I've grown to really love the Marcum Family, and I hope to work with them again in the future. :)

Lindsay | Oologah High School

Oologah still owns the reputation of having some of the nicest seniors. Lindsay was right on track with that reputation. Her and her mom were so sweet to work with (and I might add...during one of the worst times of my life). Lindsay's session was shot during the time right after my mom had her stroke. It felt good to get back to some kind of normal and shoot a very cool senior session. Lindsay is such a naturally beautiful girl...and more importantly, a very sweet and sincere person. We honestly probably could have just sat the camera down and visited for another couple of hours after the session was over! LOL! Best wishes for a wonderful future, Lindsay! :)

Drew | Owasso High School

So this guy obviously isn't the same cute little 3-yr-old with a black eye that was at my wedding (I wanted to post that picture but could NOT find it!). He's all grown up now and has turned into a very handsome guy. He's looking at a wonderful future in baseball and has signed with OSU. Great things are in store for Drew, and we couldn't be happier for him!

Oh wait...looks like I did find ONE shot of him when he was a cute little guy...with his upside down goggles and all. :)

Baby Halle

Baby Halle is such a precious little thing. I was so excited to finally meet her after shooting Jodi's maternity and sister maternity sessions. We had an eventful and extended shooting day...which subsequently resulted in a longer waiting time on having images edited...which I apologize for! I know everyone has been anxiously waiting to see this little darling in her modeling debut! Thank you so much for being patient. Miss Halle is definitely a keeper! :)

Miss Kinlye-bear

Oh my...this girl may only be one, but she has already figured out how to "work it." She is obviously the cutest little thing ever, and she did great for the first part of her session. Then we started losing her, at which point, she managed to give the fakest (and cutest) pout I think I've ever seen. She would actually do it on demand and then promptly go back to being just fine. It was SO hilarious! I'm afraid mom and dad are in for a long road with this little gal. :) Once she masters batting her eyes at someone...it's all over!! I very much enjoyed my session with Kinlye and her momma. Thank you for being patient with the editing process...and I hope to see you guys again soon!

Life happens...

Many of my clients and friends already know this, but for those of you that don't, my mother suffered a massive stroke on April 4th. This, obviously, has turned our lives upside down, and many days I feel as though I'm hanging on by a thread. It's imperative I be there to support her in her rehabilitation which is going to be a lengthy process...and I'm trying to maintain some sense of normalcy for my family and still manage my business. To my immediate clients waiting on sessions to be edited, I promise I am working every spare minute I have to get them completed...but it is obviously taking longer than my normal time frame. You have all been patient and kind...and you have no idea what that means to me. However, the bottom line is, I know you are waiting on your sessions to be edited and I respect that and am making every effort to complete them.

I am still shooting and taking appointments but it is on a more limited basis due to the uncertainty of my mom's rehabilitation process. If you need an appointment, please still feel free to call or send me an email and I will do my very best to schedule an appointment for you in a timely manner.

Thank you so much for your understanding during this very difficult time. And please say an extra prayer for my mom's speedy and complete recovery.

Bella Rose & Eli

If I could have even a small fraction of the energry Miss Bella Rose has...I could probably rule the world! LOL! I was even amazed at how sweet and peaceful her images turned out...only because we were able to harnass that energy for even a few seconds. :) Little Eli was such a breeze. He seemed very unphased by all the commotion and was content about any way we put him. It was a pleasure meeting these cute kiddos, and I look forward to seeing them in the future! :)
