Meet Karter

Yet another handsome little man with an abundance of personality! He, too, is one of my model search winners. The way I see it I'm pretty darned lucky to have so many adorable kiddos. Karter was such a funny little mess. He had us cracked up and in tears through most of the session. He had the funniest faces...most of which included an open-wide mouth. It's like he wanted to laugh so hard...yet no sound would come out...just the wide-open mouth! LOL!

Meet Tate

Tate is another one of my little model search winners. He was such a sweet little guy. We found out really quickly that he liked it outdoors much better than he did indoors. As soon as we took him outdoors, here came the smiles. He didn't even care that it started raining! Thanks for bringing him over, Sara...and it was a pleasure meeting you as well!

Miss Jadyn

Meet Jadyn...she is one of the model search winners that will be modeling in the finalist shoe sessions that will be taking place soon. I've worked with Jadyn before, and she is a tough act to get to smile. Obviously she has the sweetest serious face, but I'm always up for a challenge so I was determined to get a smile out of her. Well, I'm finally hip on her game! It's bribery! Bribery is what works for Miss Jadyn! :)

Model Search Winners!!

I would like to thank all the adorable children that participated in the model search. You guys were a blast to work with and I can't wait for the final sessions! I would also like to add that I apologize that not everyone that contacted me could participate. I only had limited slots available and a very limited time to work on this project. If you did contact me and I wasn't able to work you in for one of the 30-minute sessions, I would like to offer you 1/2 off a local session good through June 30, 2009.

I would like to announce my model search winners! May I have a drum roll, please? :)

Parents...I will be contacting you soon via email for more details regarding the finalist shoe sessions.

Thanks again for your participation and for making the model search a success!!

I survived!

I survived the crazy Oklahoma weather that dumped 10 inches of snow on our photography conference. We rolled with it and made the best of the circumstances as we photographers always do. I left there having learned a lot. I made new friends and reconnected with old ones, and most of all, I had a TON of fun. I hope to have some images to share from the conference up soon. I'll have to see if anyone had a camera and took any pictures...hehe!

I know there are several of you waiting on your images to be posted. I hope to have some up later today. I appreciate your patience and promise to get to them as soon as possible!

Have a great week!

I'm outta here!

Wahoo! I will be heading out tomorrow for a three-day conference with a group of fellow photographers. I have looked forward to this since I attended last year. I'm so excited to see all my old friends...and, of course, can't wait to make new ones! You will not be able to reach me via phone, but I will be checking my email if you need me.

Talk to you when I return! Have a great weekend!

Lillie rocked it!

Meet Lillie. She was born to be a model! Don't let her fool you. She may only be three, but she totally knows how to work it! She followed my direction amazingly well and was such a fun kiddo to work with. She is one of the kids participating in the model search. Check out a few shots from her session...

Meet Baby Cale

This little guy was absolutely precious! I traveled to his house for his first session. He was an angel throughout ALMOST the entire session. Dad, more than once, got to experience this little man without a diaper...LOL! I think we were able to get some very sweet images from his first session.

And how cool to know there is now another little Cale in this world!

Thank you for letting me be a part of his very first session! I look forward to seeing Baby Cale again!
