i heart faces - week 24: All about Babies

Since my very first newborn shoot is not until Wednesday, I am having to settle for one of the maternity photos I have shot recently.

i heart faces - week 21: "yellow"

Luckily, I had a ton of yellow photos to choose from, the tough part was narrowing it down.

Out here in western Oklahoma, many of the farmers choose to grow canola beans and for a couple of weeks in the spring the canola bean plants produce the most stunning fields of bright yellow flowers.

i heart faces - week 20: Faces and Flowers

Good grief! I almost forgot to enter this week's challenge - shame on me. I had some photos with even more flowers on them, but they were on a different computer. And since I am getting this in just under the gun, I had to use what I had on hand : )

i heart faces: week 19 - Celebrating Mom

I just did a whole post on my photography blog for Mother's Day with pictures from some of the women I have photographed with their children.

I love when moms decide to come out from behind the camera and have their special relationships with their children captured in photos.

Spring Festival

Each year the elementary school here in town puts on a Spring Festival in which grades Pre-K through fifth perform.

Jack did amazing singing and dancing to Phineas and Ferb's Gitchy-Gitchy-Goo.

i heart faces: week 16 - collages

I recently had the opportunity of photographing this precious little one for her first birthday portraits. The mom wanted a couple of storyboards/collages to choose from and here is one of them I came up with.

It’s soccer season…again

Yep, it’s soccer season. And Jack begged to play yet again. And despite my husband’s hatred toward the sport and the fact that he doesn’t think Jack should play organized sports until he is older, Josh still signed Jack up. I am only hoping to get another video like this one : )

Our Easter in (unedited) photographs

We kicked off the Easter weekend on Saturday by decorating some eggs.

FYI: my kids are NOT naked. I just didn’t want extra laundry to do, so off came the shirts. That’s just the way we roll around here these days : ) Jack and Beau loved decorating the eggs. But Jack kept breaking them on purpose so that he could eat the boiled egg. Beau, wanting to be just like his older brother, followed suit only to discover hard boiled eggs were NOT his thing. 

Sunday, Easter, was filled with a trip to church, Easter baskets with lots of goodies (that the boys inevitably fought over), and a little Easter egg hunt at Nana and Papa’s with just the two of them.
