{sweet Baby G} newborn session

Oh where do I start?!?!

This sweet little angel, was such a tiny little guy!
Perfect in everyway :)
I absolutely adored shooting this newborn session...I seem to be on a lucky streak with having the opportunity to shoot beautiful newborns and awesome families lately!

and little G has some pretty loving parents too...

and a mother who is an absolute NATURAL!

(and I am sure I have explained many times before how important it is for mommies and daddies to remain calm during our sessions...otherwise those little babes do not do so well!...
and the last two newborn sessions I have had, had wonderful mommies and daddies to work with!!!!)

yeah me :)

I wanted to just hold him and love on him...such a little blessing!

Can you tell that I LOVE newborn sessions?!
their tiny "mouse" like sounds,
baby powder skin,
sweet little smiles,
and all the wonder and glory that goes along with 
catching a tiny glimpse of Heaven here on Earth!

L-O-V-E that he has his tiny little hand wrapped around daddy's thumb...

...and mommy's hands shaping a heart around those tiny little tootsies...

thank you  for a fantastic session Baby G family :)
I feel truly blessed to be part of capturing this amazing time in your life together!
God Bless & enjoy your new little miracle!

{Kaylin / KHS Senior Model 2012}


Meet Kaylin....our KHS Senior Model 2012!

LOVE her personality & her "farm girl" ways :)

She looks so much like her mom!! Is that ok that I say that Kaylin?  It's a good thing :)
Kaylin is a very special client this year for me!
I know her family...her mom use to take care of me when I was a little pain in the butt!
...and I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to capture her gorgeous daughter Kaylin for her!
THRILLED!!!

I giggled thru the entire session, and I am sure Kaylin has some fond memories of me as well...
esp the one with the cricket or various bugs I was trying to avoid...
or dare I say the "snake" she joked with me about that almost gave me 
a heart attack!
Yep, it is hard to believe that I grew up in the little farm town of Kouts!
Or that I use to help my friends on their farms...(which was hilarious I am sure)
Because I am most definately a CITY GIRL at heart...and I am positive Kaylin and Amy can 
tell you that!

Thank you so very much Kaylin for a beautiful session that I will def never forget!

Can't wait till our next one on the tracks :)

Enjoy!

{Leslie & Rusty Beach Maternity}

Leslie & Rusty are one of my all time favorite bridal couple....
and I was so lucky to shoot their maternity session as well as their beautiful daughters 
new beginnings...coming soon!

Leslie made being a photographer super easy at her wedding...
she had every detail known to man in place and beautiful!
I loved everything about her :)
Super sweet and loved her visions!
Rusty makes me laugh every time I get to work with him.
He get to put his "model" face on for us...
but he goes with the flow and is very patient!

They are simply a BEAUTIFUL couple...
you can see the love just pouring through for each other!

I had no doubt that they would be absolutley wonderful parents...
and after meeting little Brooklyn the other night, 
I was swooning!

She is a magical little doll...and so reminds me of both her parents already!
Rusty is one of the most hands on dad's I have EVER had the pleasure of working with.
Leslie is such a natural mother it is rediculous! :)

Can not wait to share their daughter's images with you!!!









As always, thanks for the beautiful moments you allowed me to capture for the two of you!
You both are so delightful to be around and work with :)

{NEW splash page intro to website}


This year it was extremely hard to narrow down the images of all the clients and choose the very few that make it to the front page...I love all of my clients and am so thankful for your support in my visions and dreams!! I basically went with tonality this season and am happy with the new look of the intro :)
