ONEderful ~ Little Miss K


 
A look of wonder
on the face of a one year old
combined with the most
fluffiest billowing cloud of a tutu
 
 
 

throw in
one. of. the. sweetest. grins. ever
  

 
 
and you have the formula for a
photographer's dream.


 
 
Just let me say that
Little Miss K
is ONE little dream girl
 
 
 
 Spunky.
Outgoing.
Always on the go.
 
 
Although willing to sit for a moment
and throw a kiss,
 

 
 
more willing to get up and go on an adventure
 
especially if it involves an
"un-hot air" balloon ride!
 

 
 
Little Miss K,
don't forget to look me up for
 your Senior pics...


 
 
 I want to see
where your adventerous spirit
really takes you!

Sky High Love

 
 
 
A wonderful fringe benefit to being a photographer is
 meeting such wonderful people
and hearing such wonderful love stories!
 
Here is
one such couple
and story...
 
~~~
 
Kaitlin and Wade
 
 
 
 
have their feet planted firmly on the ground.
 
 
 
 
Their occupations, well, they're both in public service,
which tells you a little bit about their hearts...
well, really alot!
 
Kaitlin a teacher; Wade in law enforcement.


 
 
 
And even though they are firmly planted...
 
in their community,
 
in life,
 
in love...
 
their relationship started
miles above the earth...
 
 
 
 
on a flight in college
during a class trip to Washington, D.C.
 
 
 
 
 
As fate would have it,
they sat next to each other
 
and the rest, as they say, is history...
 
 
 
This couple fell in love!
 
~~~
 
Kaitlin and Wade,
I love your story!
 
Best wishes
 are being sent your way
for your upcoming wedding
and
may your hearts continue to fly high...
together!

An Engagement Session ~~ After the fact!



                                                                   
This engaging couple
never had an engagement photo session.
 
So,
after a skydiving-themed wedding ceremony
and now, two children later,
we decided to set the stage
and give them the romantic shoot
that they so deserved.

 
And
they. were. the. perfects. subjects.
A man in a uniform.
A woman who can wear a sundress and boots
and still look regal.
Perfect match!
 
 
Their love...
 
 
 
 


 
 
 
 
...was refreshing
and
so very easy to capture!
 
 
 
 
Loren and John,
this post-marriage-children engagement shoot
was such a joy!
 
 
May the sun
continue to shine
on you,
 
 
 
and may your future continue to hold
many, many more
 
 
romantic moments!

These Shoes....



These Shoes
 
 
 
 
deserve a blog
 
 
 
 
all. of. their. own!
 
 
 
 
Thank you, Louboutin,
for a wonderful prop.
Your "sammy red-bottoms"
were quite a nice addition!
 
 
P.S.
The rest of the story coming soon!

Miss K.....And Dreams

 
 
 
This sweetheart of a girl
has a dream
(well, a few actually),
but the one dream we will focus on here
is her
dream
to one day
be a
model.
 
 
 
I think that day has come!


 
 
 
In fact
her dreams can cause her to be
a double threat...
 

 
on both sides of the camera!
(I see an assistant in my future!)
 
  
 
 
Miss K,
 
 
 
keep on smiling;
 
 the whole world
will smile with you...
 
they won't be able to help themselves!!

Mr. Alex




What a special time in life...
becoming a high school senior!
And this young man is up for the task.
He is the definition of debonaire...
courteous, gracious, with a sophisticated charm...



with just the right dose of
nonchalant thrown into the mix.


The camera loves this
 future graphic designer,
whether in a suit
or tee



 or sporting his
 favorite team's jersey.



 And when Alex isn't busy with
his acting career at church or in the local theater
(is that why you're so comfortable in front of the camera!?!),
you just may find him in his favorite chair
conquering the gaming world!



Alex,
enjoy your last year of high school.
Your future is bright, wonderful and full of promise...
just like you!

(Sidenote:  Alex's younger sister was my
assistant for this session.  Good job,  Jesse!)

Little Miss Captivating




If the eyes are the window to the soul,
a gigantic smile on a 6-month old
is the doorway to a soul's happiness;
the recipient's soul!
 
And this little one
has the market on both!
 
 
Her eyes,
 captivating...
 
 
 
Her smile,
 

well, see what I mean...
 
you can't help smiling back, can you!?!
 
 
Tasha & Roland,
 
 
 
 
your little girl brightens my life,
and the camera loves her!
 
 
 
 
And thank you
for inviting me along on her journey
 
 
 
 
 
from then...
 
 
 
 
 
till now...
