Qynn

 This is Qynn!

 Isn't he adorable?

He's a pretty sweet kid, too!

But - he'd rather play than have

his picture taken.

I think it must be a boy thing!

Alexis

 This is Alexis!

 Isn't she a lovely little thing?

She's got beautiful hair, beautiful eyes and a beutiful smile!

Hmmmmm.... she could be a super model!

Bryan

 Isn't he cute?

He's not only cute - he's as sweet as can be!

My job would be easy if all of my

clients were so well behaved and helpful!



Unique Family Photos for a Unique Family

This is the Thompson Family!

They wanted something a little unique for their family portrait session this year, so we visited a few old abandoned buildings to try to come up with something that was uniquely "them".

Dave Thompson is a youth minister and musician and he and his wife Shana are super cool, so we needed some cool pictures to fit their style.

Their youngest two kiddos are just 1 and 2 years old, so posing was a bit of a challenge. They're good kids, but posing for pictures in places they'd rather explore is a bit much to ask of any little one.

But.... aren't they cute!

Shana is an excellent Mom and her kids are about as well behaved as you will ever see. I love doing pictures for them!

We did get to stop for fun from time to time, too!

The Smith Family

It's that time again!

Time for new family pictures and new Christmas Cards!

New photos are even more important when you have new family members! Brycen makes a wonderful addition to the Smith family.... don't you think?

Four faces smiling at the same time!

And I really wanted this shot, but Brycen wasn't exactly happy to lay in the grass. Now that he's learned to sit, I think laying down has lost it's appeal. But.... it only took a couple of minutes and then we were off to more adventures.

Braylon and Brycen! Aren't they handsome!

Bobby and Family

Here is Bobby, again! This time with his family!

Can't you see that he is loved?

I love it when parents LOVE their kids! And this kiddo is LOVED! :-)

Bobby

This is Bobby!Don't you just love his cute little curls?He is such a cutie pie!He's One Year Old and FULL of energy!But isn't that how One Year Olds are supposed to be? So full of life and so happy.....

I just love little ones!

Family Portraits in the 100 Degree Heat!

This family chose to do their family portraits in the 100 Degree heat!I think they turned out beautiful, though.... don't you?They wanted to do pictures with their son, who only stays with them during the summer months! And in Oklahoma, the summer months are HOT!But, I think getting this face in their pictures was well worth waiting for. He's super handsome.... don't you think?And the man of the house will soon be deploying - so I thought this dreamy pose might be nice to look at while he's away. No matter how far the Army sends him, I'm sure his wife and son will be on his mind!

Gracie

We had planned on doing 4th of July pictures with Grace holding Olivia outdoors, but it was hot and Gracie wasn't in the mood. So, I just snapped a few pictures of each of the girls.Grace would rather tend to the flower bed than have her picture made. Or.... swim! But, she's not dressed for that!But... she's super cute! Don't you just love that gorgeous smile?

An Old Photo Session

This is an OLD photo session! This little girl is now about 2 1/2 years old.This was a "deployment session". I do free sessions (based on availability) for families with a deployed parent and often make a DVD slideshow of some of the images to send to the parent who is deployed.

When this session was done Briyanna's Daddy was deployed.Isn't she cute? I saw her the other day and she's still cute!I ran into this family again while shooting pictures for the flag football team that Thairique is now playing on.And due to a move shortly after these pictures were done, they never got a chance to order any prints and they asked it I still had the pictures.

I looked and I looked and had about given up when I finally found them stored on an old hard drive. So, yes.... I still have the files! All of them! So, maybe now, Briyanna's photo albums can be updated!

Melanie's Maternity Session

Melanie and her husband Bret, met me in the park for their maternity pictures!

I think this one is my favorite. And it's the only picture I thought I would prefer in black & white. This is another one of my favorites. I like the way Bret is looking at Melanie, here. His expression shows loving concern... something that's sort of hard to capture in a photograph, but can't you see it? It's priceless!And here it is again!

It's obvious that this man loves his wife and his unborn child.

Not only does he love them, he loves them with that complete and unconditional love that make marriages work and families stick together.

And Baby Landon can feel that love!After all, he's surrounded in it!

Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if all babies could be brought into such loving family situations!

Baby Landon is BLESSED!

And this pose was his Daddy's idea! It's really cute, isn't it?

Matt & Katrina's Wedding

Matt & Katrina wanted a simple, outdoor wedding at the lake!

And Papa Bill was there to help make their dream come true!

Don't they make a cute couple? I wanted to get a shot of her boquet, using one of her boots as a vase, but I never got the opportunity. It might have made a really cute picture.

Matt looks pretty stoked.

And they both look very happy!

Congratulations to Matt & Katrina!
