The Alcorn & Farris Families

What can I say, but these two families are great! I've gotten to work with them on numerous occasions. So when ALL of the family was going to be in for Thanksgiving, they wanted me to come and photograph all 16 of them! I have to say with the wide age ranges of the kids...they did really good! That large of a family session can be pretty tricky...but we managed to laugh our way through it. :) I just picked a few to share since there were so many...

Four Generations

When Ann called and asked if I would make the trip to her house to shoot a four-generation photo...I was pretty excited. First of all, Ann was so super nice to visit with on the phone, it was like I had known her for forever. And then the thought of capturing four generations together was pretty special to me. But that wasn't even the best part. The best part was meeting Mimi! I'm not sure what adjectives to use to describe this lady...cool, special, hilarious, or maybe just a complete mess! :) Such a neat family! Thank you for the opportunity to work with you guys!

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!!

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! :)

The Woolery Family

I was super happy to finally shoot the Woolery's family session. We had been trying for a while but with everyone's schedules, that proved to be a task. I really love these guys for many reasons. Marla was one of my oldest son's 4th grade teachers last year (bless her heart! LOL!) and was wonderful with him. Marla and PD both teach after school music lessons and have music camps over the summer that both of my boys have attended. I also had the pleasure of shooting Paige's senior pictures last year. And then there's Jake! My boys LOVE Jake...and well, he's got about the prettiest blue eyes ever. :) They are such a good-looking family, it was really hard to pick a favorite family shot...but I'm kind of partial to the love seat shot with the pups. :)

The Inman Family

We were FINALLY able to get our schedules together and shoot the Inman family session! They are such a sweet family and were fun to work with. The girls are both beautiful...yet I keep wondering where the time has gone because they should still be little! :)

Miss Sydney...and mom, too!

For this session, we planned a garden-type setting with a little water thrown in! Mom and grandma came along for Sydney's session, so we were able to get some "mommy & me" shots, too! Sydney seemed pretty shy for most of the session until I started teasing her a bit and telling her I was going to toss her in the pool! She's such a pretty little girl with such gorgeous hair...and I even discovered a little sassiness, too! :)

The Cook Family

I had the pleasure of working with the Cook family recently. We met at a friend's house with a beautiful yard for their session. Max is currently running for re-election for District Attorney in District #24 for Creek and Okfuskee counties and needed an updated family shot for his campaign. I think the family will attest to the fact that it was SUPER steamy...so we tried to get through the session as quickly as possible before everyone melted. The Cook's are such a nice and welcoming family that I even got an invite for dinner! Good luck with your campaign, Max!

The Mackey Sisters

I became acquainted with the Mackey family about a year ago when I shot Nikki's senior session. Her mom told me she would love to come back and have some sister pictures done with her other daughter, Erica. I was so excited when she called to set up the appointment, because Nikki and her mom were so much fun to work with. (Nikki was my senior that had the AMAZING eyes...one brown and one green!). It was a pleasure meeting and working with Erica, too...and you can totally tell they are sisters! LOL! You can also tell how much they love each other, and they brought such a fun and playful energy to the session which makes my job easy!

The Droz Family

The Droz kids have MUCHO personality! The trick is keeping up with them to capture that personality! LOL! This session served a couple of purposes...first and foremost, it was to celebrate Mallory's 5th birthday. Secondly, it was to attempt to get a family shot. Notice I said "attempt." :) Thankfully, we actually accomplished both, but I think the adults involved were worn out by the end of the session! I always look forward to working with the Droz kids because they are adorable and they have the most beautiful blue eyes!
