Look who's 6 months!!

Hooray!

Even Teething; Little Wesley is just about my favorite baby to photograph!

We had fun today, here are a few quick sneak peaks, then I am off to finish up the other editing I have to do! :-)

Wesley's Mommy is hosting our first ever Portrait Party and I am super excited, it will be lots of fun and I will get to meet lots of new little cuties!

Isn't he a Total "Chick Magnet!" LOL :-)
And this one just cracks me up, I think he is sayin'

"Cabbage makes you strong!"

And lets end with a little vintage Christmas.

Enjoy!

Senior Siblings!

Ok, so I had alot of fun with Liz and Garrett earlier this week! I did their older brothers Senior pics last year, and this year I got to do two more from their family! They are just the nicest people you will ever meet!

I am just posting a few quick ones of my favorites! We got lots of great shots in, but on this shoot I paid the price, I dropped one of my favorite lenses!

Yeah, you heard me right, that was a $$$ Oops! :-(

BUT I am crossing my fingers that Canon can fix it and I will not have to buy a whole new one, I guess that is what comes with 1 clumsy mommy photographer! Better than ME falling down the really cool stone stairs that I dropped my lens down! LOL. No worries!

Enjoy!

Senior 2008

Today I had the pleasure of shooting Kenneth's Senior Photos. He was such a cutie and his whole family came along for the show! We all lucked out with the weather cooperating as it has been raining all week and today there wasn't a cloud in sight! Here are a few sneak peaks, I had so much fun and I just love all his curly red locks!
Enjoy!

Senior Session Update

Ok, I have had several calls about the senior sessions.
And as some of you may or may not know, we have re-located all the way to Topeka! :-)
We are officially settled in and I feel like things are slowly getting back to "normal."
The senior dates that I posted before I will still be out in Leavenworth shooting the seniors that have booked those dates. I do still have room for a few more, so give me a call if you are interested!
Because of the move I will be offering the same special on other dates here in Topeka as well, so it isn't too late to call!
913-306-1381
(If you missed the special, just scroll down)

Thanks to all of you who have written or called to check on us, I adore you all and look forward to seeing you whether it is here in Topeka or back in Leavenworth!
Until Then!

Baby June!

Ok, so these are pictures from back at Christmas time that I thought I lost when my computer crashed for the first time in January. BUT I didnt loose them, and am just now editing them! (Sorry Erin!)They were a last minute session done of a friends incredibly cute little girl, I had so many good ones it was hard to choose which ones to share! Obviously she is much bigger now so these should be fun to see!

Just patiently filling the time as I wait for this baby to come! LOL. :-)

Enjoy!

Seniors???

I have been getting several inquiries about senior sessions so here is the scoop!

Since I am currently expecting a baby ANY day, I will not be available to do full sessions for at least a month. I do have an awesome senior special that I will offer for set dates for a limited number of spots that I will announce soon. So watch the blog and be sure and call if you want to reserve your time! They will most likely be saturdays in October. I will also have "mini" sessions for yearbook pictures only on set days, so you can have those in time to submit them to your school.

So keep a lookout on the blog for the posted special as well as available dates. You will NOT want to miss this! :0)
