Nikki & Russ ~ Baby Bump

I am SO excited to post these baby bump photos! They are Nikki & Russ~ & their soon-to-be addition to their family! They are expecting a little boy the end of October. :) Nikki was positively glowing~ and they are such a sweet couple. I just loved their outfits as well! I can tell that they just can't wait to meet their little guy. I hope that these images captured their excitement and anticipation for their bundle of joy coming soon! Can't wait to meet their baby boy! Enjoy~

Flannagan Family

I am loving these newborn sessions! This one is baby Harper~ just 5 days old, and what a cutie she is!! She slept almost the entire session, so we got lots of neat shots & poses. She looks like she just belongs in mom's flower garden, so adorable! I love using antiques & things people have in and around their home & property~ it makes the session even more personal. One of my favorites is Harper in the old wagon in mom's flower garden. Even big sister Haydin got to partake in the fun by giving her new baby sister a sweet little smooch :) And of course we took some family shots as well, with the new addition to the Flannagan family! I just loved this shoot, and was so excited to get to capture some of Harper's very first photos! I hope they enjoy their sneak peek!!

The Jurgens Family

Time to meet the Jurgen's family! Eric, Laura, Caleb & Avery! They were a fun little bunch~ & were troopers having to deal with some of summer's finest-- the bugs & the humidity! I think mom & dad have some major cuties on their hands-- Caleb's sweet little smile was pretty contagious and Avery had the most adorable blonde curls I have probably ever seen! I thank them for being so patient for their sneak peek! This has been a crazy-busy summer! I very much enjoyed meeting their family & hope they love their images!

Hayley D.

Meet little miss Hayley! What a cutie-pie she is :) She is a prime example of why I love to shoot newborns as new as I can get! They stay nice & sleepy and look so cuddly! Some of my favorites are Hayley in the bright pink tutu that mom & dad brought along~ I just love the contrast of the bright pink against the grass-- she just looks like she belongs there, asleep in that basket! And of course we had to get a few in her pink hawkeye hat for dad too! I very much enjoyed meeting Hayley & chatting with her mom & dad & laughing as she would try to peek through one eye at us like she was watching us! Little babies are just such a sweet blessing. I hope everyone enjoys her sneak peek!

Frasher Family

My goodness I have some major catching up to do! August has been crazy busy with seniors, kids, babies & families! Which keeps me plenty busy(& a tad bit behind!) but keeps the blog full of some great new stuff! This post is for the Frasher family~ had a lot of fun with this family & their three spunky boys! I think we pulled off some fun images for mom & dad's walls at home :) I just loved these guys' big blue eyes. They are going to be some heart-breakers in a few years so watch out girls!! :) I hope the Frasher family enjoys their little sneak-peek!

Nicki D.

Jeepers.... blog overload! :) Meet my cousin Nicki~ & her entourage of gorgeous senior photos! We had to split this session into 2, so we could hit some really neat spots! I will keep the writing to a minimum on this one, since there are lots of images to do the explaining for me! I had a blast hanging out with Nicki & her family & think should have no problem finding some favorites with PLENTY of great shots to pick from! Enjoy!

Hayley S.

Yet another fun senior shoot! Meet Hayley~ we shot a variety of outfits, locations & styles for this shoot! She was up for anything & we had a great morning session since the sun stayed away just long enough! Many people may think that a nice bright sunny day is great for photos, but there's nothing worse for a photographer than high noon sun! It can cause terrible shadows & in mid-August... some pretty unbearable heat! And as a senior girl, you want great hair & makeup to hold up during your session! Hayley did an awesome job rocking out all the poses, & was a natural~ we even went out to the ball diamond where we got some neat sports shots for her collage! I hope she & her family & friends enjoy her sneak peek!
