Break Audio, take two

Break Audio, new sound, new drummer, new pix.

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!!!

Colleen & Delaney

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!

Healthy Apple

I just shot art work for the web page and brochures for a new children's bento lunch service in town. http://www.healthyapple.net/ It reminds me of our days in Japan!

the Stevenson family

Here's my favorite shot of the Stevenson family. Don't let the smiles fool you, that grass was cold!!!

Candi & Alaina

My favorite picture of Nick's girls! You would never know it was so cold outside this weekend! Alaina was a little trouper!!!

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!!!

Sarah & Matt

I shot Sarah & Matt's engagement pictures this weekend. They were so much FUN!!! I can't wait to do their wedding!

Kristin was so much fun to work for. She had tons of ideas! Add that and some great locations and we got some spectacular shots, even in the churches back hallways!
