The Speck love birds

What a fun session with the Specks! Love love loved Kathryn's bright fun top and even though it took Mike a second to warm up, he was hamming it up in no time at all! Thank you guys for an adventurous session! Hope to see you again soon!

Sarah

Now that Derek & Sarah are finally hitched I can share her bridals with you! It was super hot outside but Sarah (big puffy dress and all) was a trooper! This was actually my first time at the Stanton convent and I was surprised by it's beauty. I wanted to go inside and get a glimpse of the paranormal activity that is rumored to run rampant there but Sarah and her mother & grandmother didn't really think that big ole pregnant me should venture in there! lol Darn, maybe next time? Congrats Sarah! Working on your wedding all week!

Mikah & Gage

Well, this was a treat! I've had lots of mommy daughter duos but never a whole mommy and son session! What a blast I had with Mikah and Gage. That kid is gonna be a heartbreaker I already know it! Can't wait to see you guys again! Thanks!

Aiden

Lil' cutie pie! I don't get to work with a ton of baby boys and sometimes I forget what fabulous fashionable ensembles you can find for them these days! There was nothing boring about Aiden's wardrobe choices! So fun! Can't wait to see you again sweet boy!

Dicken's family

Gotta love a military family! While Chris was home for R&R we met up for a super quick family session. What a gorgeous family! I think it'll be time for him to come home soon! How exciting! Continued prayers for this sweet family. Keep Chris safe while he's away, bring him home soon, and give his gorgeous wife and kiddos comfort and strength while he's away. We often take the life we lead for granted but always remember that our soldiers are fighting to protect that very freedom that we enjoy. Freedom isn't FREE and I know first hand the many sacrifices military families make for the greater good of the country. What a blessing to get to meet a real hero in Chris and his family. :)

The Clyburns

Cute lil' family! Look at those piercing blue eyes!

Black & White Affair 2011

This is the 3rd year I've helped out with the Black & White Affair charity fashion show benefiting an organization called Women Grooming Excellence. One of my super close friends Ashlee is the mastermind behind the event and I gotta say, it gets better every year girl! This year, I helped out with the photography for the advertising as well as the event. This is by far the most fun shoot I have EVER done! Awesome colorful ensembles, super fun cooperative models, and an awesome bright graffiti wall location! There were no rules and we made do with whatever props were left behind by the artists. I just love the way they all turned out! What an awesome experience! Keep doing your thing Ash, you rocked the show this year! Can't wait to see what next year holds!

Jayce is 6 months old!

It's crazy to me that I just shot Jayce's 9 month session and I haven't even blogged his 6 month session yet! Oooooh why are all these kiddos growing so quickly!??!? It's so bittersweet watching them grow up. I mean, in one way, you get to experience all these fabulous new things and fun little stages and milestones. But on the other hand, it's just downright heartbreaking how quickly the time passes. It hits awful close to home. I can't believe my baby girl will be 7 in a couple of weeks! Cherish every moment with your little pumpkins because they won't always be so little!

Anyway, enough self reflection! lol Here's Jayce with a glimpse of Mommy & Daddy too! I think he gets cuter every time I see him Lyna!

Mommy & ME!

Rachel & Maddie are some super cute gals. Don't you just wanna squeeze Maddie's cheeks!?!??! I love love love our generation of moms! Not to pat myself on the back or anything but we ROCK! I just love watching the connection we have with our daughters. Mommy+me=BFF's! ;)

Paden 1 yr

If you like to talk to tomatoes, if a squash can make you smile, if you like to waltz with potatoes up and down the produce aisle...

Have WE got a show for YOU!

haha Okay, I couldn't resist. No matter how old I get, I'll always love veggie tales!

Paden was seriously like the cutest Bob the tomato EVER for his one year cake smash session. I was actually pretty nervous when Sarah busted out with the bright red cake but I can't imagine it any other way now. What a blast we had! Paden sure did love that cake! We did a few traditional shots too and as cute as they are, I could sift through the cake smash pictures over and over again and laugh each time remembering it all! Goodness, hard to believe we took these almost 4 months ago!!! Time flies! Thanks again guys! Just LOVE him!
