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!

Itzy Bitzy | Shoe Session #2

I usually choose to shoot the Itzy Bitzy shoe sessions in two groups just because it gets pretty crazy trying to get that many little ones styled and fitted at one time. It was super steamy for this session and many of my little squeaky models were starting to melt a bit. But they were all troopers and did a great job for me! I would like to send out a special thank you to Maggie Mae, Riley, Aubree, Elizabeth and Tori for being great little models!

Itzy Bitzy | Shoe Session #1

Yep, it's that time of year again...time to shoot all the new shoes and hair accessories for Itzy Bitzy. The sessions got pushed back a little later in the month due to all the rain, but we finally managed to get them shot. It was a crazy fun time with all the little squeaking people running around! I've always considered myself a pretty fortunate photographer because I have the cutest mini clients ever! I wanted to give a special thank you to the kids that participated in the first of two shoe sessions. Thank you to: Abby, Ruby Grace, Tate, Brynlee, Cale, Aislinn and Jacie. You guys rock!

Out of the office...

I will be out of the office until Saturday, June 5th with limited access to phone and email. If you need me, I will return calls and emails as soon as I return. Have a great week!

Dillon | Depew High School

Dillon was my last senior of 2010! (I think...haha!) I enjoyed my session with Dillon and his mom. He was like most senior boys and wasn't all that enthused with having to be a part of having his picture taken, but he humored us long enough to get through it. :) Best of luck with your future, Dillon!

Patti Matthews | Teacher of the Year

Congratulations to Patti Matthews who is the Bristow District Teacher of the Year! She is now competing to be one of 12 finalists for Oklahoma Teacher of the Year. Since she needed a current portrait for her portfolio, she came to see me! I was very happy to work with Mrs. Matthews as she is someone I've always admired. She is not only a wonderful teacher who has devoted 34 years of her life to teaching...but also a very sweet and kind person. I would also like to add (and she may kick me for saying this)...she's timeless! I swear she looks as beautiful today as she did when she taught when I was in elementary school!

The 12 finalists will be announced in July and the winner will be chosen in September. Best of luck, Mrs. Matthews! You would definitely have my vote! :)

Miss Molly Beth

I first met Miss Molly Beth back in the fall when I shot a session with her family. Of course, I thought Molly was just adorable, but I was so impressed with how she listened and how fun she was to photograph. So her mom promised her a session in the spring...which was wonderful other than we had to reschedule numerous times due to all the rain! We FINALLY were able to get together and shoot her session...and oh what fun we had! Here are just a few sassy shots from Molly's session. :)
