Jadyn

I had the pleasure of working with Jadyn a couple of weeks ago. Her momma and grandma came along to help out. Jadyn, unfortunately, was not a very happy camper for most of the session. We tried and tried to get a smile out of her, but she just wasn't having it.

It wasn't until her little pal, Brynlee, came outside with her that she perked up a little. She had some of the cutest outfits...and the little fur coat and hat was over the top adorable!

Eva & Ace

Meet Eva and Ace! These two are just adorable. This was Ace's first session, and he was a handful! He was pretty much only happy when mom or dad was holding him, so we had to be quick with our shots.

Eva is Miss Personality. She had many, many faces to offer up for the camera. I fell in love with her eyes and that mess of curly hair. I managed to get some cute shots of her in between while mom was trying to calm Ace.

Thank you Kari and Jeff for allowing me to shoot their session...your kids are adorable!!

A cool couple...yes, that would be the Ihrig's!

A very windy and chilly day my husband and I traveled out to the Ihrig's home to get some shots for them for Christmas. Now I've known Debby for quite some time due to all her awesome work with OPAT (Oklahoma Parents as Teachers). She used to visit our home when my boys were little. Debby is top-notch...just a really neat and caring person...truly one of my favorites.

Then there's Judge Ihrig...LOL! I had the pleasure of getting to know him over the last couple of years when I worked part-time at a local law office. The only way I know how to explain Judge is that he is an original! Anyone that knows him knows that he is top-notch as well...you just have to factor in that he is a big ol' ornery mess on top of that! :)

So when you put Judge and Debby together...wow, you get a pretty cool couple! Kudos to Debby for keeping Judge in line all these years! I'm sure it's been tough (just kidding, Judge!!...well, kind of).

I anticipated this to be an interesting session. Needless to say Judge did not let me down! Thanks for letting us shoot your session. We had a lot of fun visiting with you guys afterwards...and your place is beautiful!

The Brown Family

I had the pleasure of shooting the Brown's family session recently. Melissa is a good friend of mine who I've gotten to know over the last several years. The last time I got to work with the Brown's, there was only Payton. They have since had an addition to the family...Miss Caylea. She had a pretty eventful birth...she arrived during the ice storm last year! Can you imagine bringing a new baby home to no power! Melissa...we'll just have to hope this winter is much less eventful!

NINE KIDS!!!

Yes, you read that right...NINE KIDS! Seven boys and two girls! This was an extended family session I shot a couple of weeks ago. This was a wild and crazy bunch! I had little boys running and flipping around everywhere...LOL! The group shot was less than perfect, but it was about as good as we could manage with that many little personalities running around. I bet this bunch has a lot of fun at family gatherings!!

Family Homecoming

I know these guys have been anxiously awaiting getting to see some of their shots. This was an important "get-together" for them. Having family in the military makes it hard on any family...so finally getting to be together was something to celebrate!

I will say the women were a little more eager to take part in the "picture taking" than the men were...but we managed to get them to cooperate pretty well.

Julie...thanks for calling me to be apart of the homecoming! Your family was a lot of fun!

Reily l Bristow High School

So keep in mind that I knew who Reily was from when he was little. He used to live on the road that my parents lived on, and I can remember seeing him and his brother playing out in their yard. Fast forward several years to our session a couple of weeks ago, when to my surprise, I see this massive "kid" lumber out of his car! Holy Moly! Reily grew over the last few years!

So looking at him I'm thinking...I wonder if he has a big football player ego to fit his stature. Well...that's the coolest thing about Reily...he's SO nice! Forgive me, Reily, if I am tarnishing some mean, tough-guy, football player image you have here...but he's such a nice guy. I really enjoyed working with him, and we got some cool shots.

Rick and Dana...you should be proud! You did good!

Family picture time again!

I recently had a session with my friends, Leann and Jody, and Leann's girls Avery and Lexi. I shot their family pictures around this time last year at Woodward, so this year we headed to Gilcrease for a change of scenery. It was a very bright, cold and windy morning, but we made the best of it.

Leann and Jody will be getting married soon...so I had to throw in a smoochy shot! I will probably be receiving some threatening emails from them shortly telling me to take it down...LOL!
