Macie~ 18 months

Miss Macie is 18 months old. She has the cutest face ever when she isn't crying, running, or throwing a tantrum. Seriously, she wanted to eat the whole time she was there. I think she should have zonked out on the way home from the sugar high she was on. I just love this little girl and her mom so much, not to mention all her sisters. She definitely had some sass and personality!

Kayden~ 13 days (mentoring session)

Meet Kayden~ 13 days old. He had the LONGEST hair all over his head I have ever seen. Seriously, he had daddy's hair. It looked like static electricity was rubbed in his hair. It was so funny and so sweet. This little guy was so sweet and patient as I mentored a friend who wanted to try out a newborn session. Bret Barton does video and taught me a lot of Photoshop tips before I took my classes and is just one of our good friends who we love dearly. So, he came and decided newborns are not as fun and exciting as he thought they would be. He couldn't understand why they don't just lay there and sleep and you just take a picture. So he kicked the basket, almost dropped the camera, and cussed a few times.(just kidding) but his patience for newborns were as bad as his knees were. Plus, the sweating down our back made us a little goofier than normal. :) I told him I would razz him on here~ No but really, he basically took a lot of the photos, I edited these and did the lighting and posing. Usually I do it all, so it was fun to have an assistant~ He did a great job! Now on to teaching me video and onto teaching him dramatic lighting.
See all that static wild hair! I love it! Looked just like daddy's.

Pam's Boudior~ Valentine gift.

Happy Valentines to her hubby! Pam is a returning client who is just gorgeous and simply sweet! If you follow my blog you know that husbands are snoopy and find out these surprises all the time. Well I was telling her about some of the stories and lies women have to use to surprise their men. She said, oh, Darryl won't be like that. Low and behold, there was water splashed outside of the waterfall, because it was freezing~ and he happened to look outside and wonder if there was a leak in the waterfall. MEN! Anyhow, he had the best Valentines ever! Here's the freezing cold waterfall I made her get in for a few seconds. Totally worth the cold!
His BMW car and truck that he just loves!

Trevin~ 1 year old

Meet Mr. Trevin. He just turned 1 and he broke the pattern with eating cake! Usually it goes like this: curious baby, hungry baby, eating cake and getting messy baby, then crying baby! Trevin NEVER cried. He did the rest and mom had to help get him a little messy but he was all smiles and curious the whole time. What a doll with that curly hair and big brown eyes! We blew his first bubbles at him. He didn't get excited like we thought, he just stared at them and looked scared. It was so funny.
Happy before and still happy after!

Jordyn~ 9 days old

Meet miss Jordyn~ 9 days old. Literally a little piece of Heaven! She is the sweetest little girl. I didn't hear a peep out of her the whole photoshoot but she was a little wiggle worm. Mom and dad said they are always moving, and now they know if she is running before she is walking, they will know why. Dad is from the south and had the funnest little accent. This is his first baby and is in his mid 40's. He didn't think he could have kids. Mom was tiny and so relaxed as I just worked and snuggled this little angel. She has an older daughter and an angel in Heaven whom I believe sent this little girl to her hubby and her as a little miracle baby! I fell in LOVE with all of them instantly!
Dad is a wonderful guy who believes in God and this tatoo he said is a Christian symbol that means, NOT OF THIS WORLD.
She even has her daddy's hair and blue eyes. I think she even has his little finger wrapped around his finger!

Allison~ 9 year old sweetheart

Meet Miss Allison~ she is 9 and LOVES her sock monkey's that grandma, and great grandma gave her over the years. She was the biggest sweetheart ever! I just melted throughout the photoshoot! Such a good, sweet girl. Grandma brought her to shoot and I swear she looks too young to be grandma and so I kept calling her mom. Also, what a small world we live in! They live close by me and grandma walks close by my house all the time, yet we have never met until today! Even grandma was a sweetheart!
I was so excited when my neighbor let me use his yard with all his Barrel's in it. Vintage theme of Barrel of Monkey's. Even Allison was a monkey sitting in a barrel!
Here is her sweet grandma! I now know where she gets her sweetness from!

Out take kids~

Meet these little funny kiddos! They pulled some really cute faces and made me smile so I had to share how much fun it can be to take photos! Showing tongues, giggling, yelling, and putting feet way up above his head just made my day a little brighter. Mom and uncle were there to help get some sweet shots too.Meet Miss McKayla~ 3 years old. She was such a sweetheart and so patient. I had to keep giving her breaks and letting her play. She even gave me the sweetest hug at the end. Melted my heart.Meet Mr. Emmett~8 month old twin. He had the flexibility of a monkey, sweetest eyes and was just content in rolling around instead of sitting.Meet Miss Alexis~8 month old twin. She had big brown eyes and wanted to be mobile. I had to be fast to capture anything or off she went. Both of these outfits are mine and my how she rocked them! She looks like a little pioneer girl! I loved the bonnet mom brought in!
