Fun watching "Mr. A" growing up!

As I have said many times before it is always fun to watch these little ones grow! This somewhat sober baby has turned into quite the little performer in front of the camera and is talking up a storm! I met him first when he was about 5 months old and I have been able to watch him grow up a little each year and now he is two!

Here is Mr. A!!!!

Have a Blessed 4th of July!

Last week, I photographed this sweet baby girl with her proud daddy. Since he is in the military, we though it was fitting for him to wear one of his uniforms and hold his baby girl after all he is helping keep his daughters future free and ours as well!

May He bless the souls of the departed, May He comfort our own. And may He Always guide our country. God Bless America!

Rachel and Pat's Wedding

About a month ago I had the pleasure of doing Rachel and Pat's wedding. They were a really fun couple and had a beautiful day for their wedding. Plus we were able to get some really fun images....in fact I had a few too many favorites so I decided to attempt a slideshow on the website. This is my first one so it is not perfect but it will give you a little idea of how great their day was and all th beautiful ideas that Rachel put into their day!

Great pictures! Simply Stunning

For Daddy's office

Their mommy called me in April wanting to do a little surprise for her husbands office for father's day. The children were sworn to not to tell and they did not so Daddy was totally surprised with his father's day gifts.
Since these images that were framed individually were to be hanging on his wall at his office, where he is an orthopedic surgeon, we decided that doing something a little bit fun. Hence, the images of the hands and knees!
Keller I love the fact that Miss A's socks are still on because it is just so much her personality to be a little different than the others.

Then these two bothers were just being too fun together so we decided that we must do something with all of these silly images together!

Happy Father's Day

Today is a wonderful day to celebrate Dad's! I personally am so thankful for my Dad.
     I have so many memories with my dad, he used to travel a lot when I was little and I remember hearing the garage door open and him walk in through the door, if I was awake I would not let him get but a couple steps in the door before I would run into his arms to give him lots of hugs and kisses!
    Saturday mornings were our date mornings. My dad and I would go out to run his errands to exciting places like the post office and the dry cleaners! I would sit on the counter at the post office as he would go through all the mail and he would let me throw away the junk mail. We would also get to maybe go get donuts on some of those mornings which of course was a favorite! Since I was an only child till I was 12 this was a time for just my dad and I which I loved!

    As I have gotten older my dad has been the one I go to with all my questions, problems and advice. He has helped me with my business in so many ways even though he knows pretty much nothing about photography. He always lets me know what I should do in different situations and I am so thankful for his guidance! One of the things that I am most thankful for though to both of my parents is their Christian walk and example they have been to me. I cannot imagine living this life with out God, after all He is the best Dad anyone could ask for!

    One of the things that I have loved the most about my job is seeing how families interact and show their love for each other. Here are a few images of just some of the dad's that we have photographed over the last couple years!

Over the past almost two years I have also had the pleasure of meeting and photographing a wonderful family. You have read about them and prayed for them before. The Clayton Family is an amazing family that has been through so much over the last 21 months. Over the past year their daughter Willamina was diagnosed with liver cancer, has since had a liver transplant and has had spots removed from her lungs. She has went through over 10 chemo cycles and is now going throught 100 days in the hospital in Cincy so they can do a stem cell harvest and see if they can get their little girl well again. They are also excecting another little girl in a month.  On Saturday Willamina's Poppy wrote a post on their blog and it just hit home and was just what a father's love should be like.  If you would like to read it go to her blog....http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/willamina/journal and read the journal post from Saturday. It might make you cry but it will touch you as well!

Family of 3....

Back in April this family of 3 came in to celebrate miss "n's" birthday and did a few family images as well. I can not wait to see their images up once their new home is finished being built! They are going to look awesome....All of these images are going on a wall in their family room and in a grouping with sizes 10x10 to 20x24 all together!  I hope I get to see a picture of them all hanging up!
