beautiful belly

I had the great privilege of doing these maternity and family pictures.
I have never met such an amazing couple and let's face it, their little boy is going to be a heart breaker!!

Gerber baby buggy bumper

Meet C. T.

Quite possibly the most beautiful child in the world.

Doesn't he look just like the Gerber baby?And of course the newest love in my life....my best friend's beautiful and sweet baby girl, Laylah.

Of course Landyn had to get it on the action! I can't believe how big he has gotten!

where does time go?

I don't think anyone is actually reading any of these posts or looking at these pictures...and I'm actually okay with that. I hope to get about 3-6 more months practice in and then get an actual website made. Until then, I will continue to talk to myself on here with the off chance that someone wants to take a gander :)

I had the great privilege of doing Kinley's newborn pictures. She's just stunning!

Every now and then I get a chance to get out to REAL Oklahoma land...the country. Being in the city is always fun and exciting to me, but the country is home. It's where my heart is and where everything I do just feels natural. David's aunt has some gorgeous land out in Skiatook, along with some gorgeous horses.



My best friend is always so adorable when she's pregnant! It was burning up outside, but we were able to get a few good shots.




I'm doing a 1 year old's pictures next weekend and the baby has made her way out of my best friend's belly so I will get to do her newborn pictures, as well. Also more maternity and family pictures coming soon, too! I am loving this!!
If you are reading this...thanks for haning :)

baby steps

I am slowly but surely getting my name out there. This is really more fun than I thought it would be....and that's saying something! Here are some pictures from my session with the adorable Brodey. I wanted to squish his cheeks!

I thought I would post a few more pictures from Landyn's session....and a few of the most beautiful day I have ever seen!

My boyfriend wanted some pictures of his WRX. I think he might love her more than he loves me ;)

At Last....

I got out last Saturday and did my first official shoots. It was SO much fun being on the other side of the camera!!

It also helped that the people I was shooting were just amazing....and happened to be good friends of mine ;)
First, I met up with my girl Lindsey and she really just blew me away with her natural beauty and sheer comfort in front of the camera. We had such a good time!

Then, mine and Lindsey's friend, Christina (who introduced Lindsey and I years ago), came and met up with us and brought her gorgeous 16 month old son, Landyn. I hear from a lot of people that kids can be a challenge to shoot. As always, Landyn was exceptional and pure bliss.

I swear it was just yesterday I was watching this tiny beautiful baby be born. How quickly he's grown into a little handsome man! I love watching him grow up and I'm even more excited for him to be a big brother as his Mom and Dad eagerly await the arrival of his sister this summer!

Woo. Enough of that mushy stuff. I'm going to tear up thinking of how quickly his childhood is going by!
After Landyn's pictures I met up with the always gorgeous Leslie and Kaydee.
Throughout the day Lindsey, Landyn, and I faced the challenge of taking pictures with some minimal sprinkles/showers. (Okay, it was really just Lindsey and I. Landyn could have cared less!)
When I met up with the girls the rain was a bit more persistent, causing us to shorten our shoot by at least 1/2 the time we would have actually spent on it had it not rained.
Thankfully they are both beautiful women and we didn't let a little rain get in our way during the short time we had.
Gaw. Isn't she stunning?
I LOVE this picture of Kaydee!!! It shows her beauty and her sense of humor.
The best combination....at least in my books!
Thank you for being so great, girls!!!
I cannot WAIT to take your maternity pictures as the two of you venture through pregnancy together!!
