Katelyn 1986 - 2008





I'm so sad to say that my cousin's daughter, died this morning three years after receiving a double lung transplant. She was born 22 years ago with Cystic Fibrosis and didn't let it hold her back. One of the last times I saw her was at a horse show. She had a pony that she raced on and I swear that she could make it fly, they moved so fast! She was an incredibly talented equestrian.

In 2004 she was listed in Teen People magazine as one of the 20 Teens Who Will Change the World, it is definitely a better place for her having been here. Here she is in an episode of Seventh Heaven talking about her transplant and raising awareness about CF. And now I'm going to go hug my kids and count my blessings.

Darleen & Jim








Ok, so I confess, I'm a music junkie. Any type, doesn't really matter, I love it all. So, I really enjoyed my shoot on Sunday with Darleen Dixon, one of my favorite radio personalities, and her husband, guitarist Griffin-X who pulled out his guitar and played a little spot for me. It's funny that I can get away with calling this work! I do LOVE my job!!!

Here are a couple of shots from my session today with Colleen and the kids. Delaney was a great little subject! She brought these fabulous fuzzy gloves and hat out and I couldn't resist taking just a few more shots. I just love this shot of her!

Kris & Hayden


I love having the opportunity to capture the feelings between a mother and child in photographs. We moms tend to miss out on the history books since we are usually the ones behind the camera so I always ask to take pictures with the mom's as well. It's moments like these that make me realize that I'm doing something more than just making pictures with my camera, I'm making memories...I really love my job! I'm going to go hug my kids now! Sigh!

Jett & Olivia


I met Jett for the first time when he wasn't much older than his baby sister Olivia is now. You can tell he's going to be a great big brother! Congratulations Holly & Craig, she's beautiful!

the Guillory's

Priceless! My favorite shot of the Guillory's.

Kallie


Kallie! ...has the most gorgeous eyes! My camera LOVES her!!! We did her Senior portraits on Friday, she was the first of my many photo shoots this past weekend in Louisiana. Here is my favorite shot that we did of her.

Alyse & Craig at Hofmann Ranch







Alyse & Craig are getting married next spring and took me to the Grande Hall at the Hofmann Ranch in Castroville(http://www.hofmannranch.com/) for their engagement pictures. We made the most incredible save the date cards out of them! What a phenomenal place to host a wedding reception! There were so many great places to shoot there that we ran out of daylight before we ran out of possibilities! Thanks for letting me share!

Kimberly and Joe


Once again I'm behind in my blogging! When I don't get around to posting anything for awhile, you can guarantee I've been swamped! Here are some of my favorite pictures from Kimberly & Joe's wedding. They had a great bunch of guys in the wedding party, we had some extra time before the ceremony started and I just had to share, they were too fun!!!
