I have been MIA!!

WOW what a week!!! We have not slowed down yet, but I did want to share a few samples with you. I'm so happy that it is spring! This is always the prettiest time of year to get outside and get some great pictures.


This is Maddie. She came last weekend to have some fun with Caramel and Ella. Then we went outside to catch some great shots of her swinging.

Meet McKinnley!! I grew up with her father. It was great to see him with his little angel. I think it is sweet to see dads taking so much time with their little girls. McKinnley is 2 1/2 months old, has the sweetest personality, and did I mention she is absolutely beautiful!


Here is Austin! I have shared lots of photos of this little dude. His grandmother is one of my closest friends. She and PePaw brought Austin to play with the bunnies. He is a little flirt. When Austin smiles, he lights up the room.



These next children were so much fun. A teacher friend of mine brought her daughter and two cousins in for pictures. Their grandmother had coordinated all their clothes, so we could take some "old time" shots.

I wish I could share lots of pictures with you of this handsome fellow, but I have too many. He is a natural. Usually I play with the children to get them warmed up; I like to catch them "just being themselves". Well, with this little guy, I did not have to work hard at all. He ran the show and told me what he wanted to do. "Hmmm", maybe he can come work for us when he is older.



Little Miss Meadows will make a great mommy someday. She was so concerned to make sure her bear was having fun and liked the flowers. She just played and I got some beautiful shots of her.



Courtney was a blast. She is in kindergarten and is a "chatty dollbaby". After spending only a few minutes with Courtney, I realized how smart she is. Her first grade teacher will love her next year. She gives the impression of someone who will become a great writer in school. She is also one "very photogenic" young lady. I've had the honor of photographing her several times and she doesn't take a bad picture.

Easter Special

If you are viewing the Specials page and wondering why the February Special is still listed, it is because I am having a bit of trouble with that part of the website. Therefore, I will just list the prices for the "Easter Special" here.

(1) 8x10 $15.00
(2) 5x7(s) $15.00
(4) 3.5x5(s) $12.00
(8) wallets $12.00

We are quite booked for the next two weeks with appointments, but we will fit you in if you still would like to schedule a sitting with the "Bunnies". The children are having so much fun with these two "sweet" little bunnies. We could have already given them away several times.

We have too many pictures to post on the website, but they are all turning out great!

Bunnies, Bunnies and More Bunnies!

WOW, what a weekend we had!!! We had our Relay for Life bunny pictures on Saturday. OMG, let me tell you, we started shooting at 8:00 and finished up at 5:15. There were appointments every 15 min with one break for lunch. I have huge THANK YOU'S to send out to Sheila, Erika, and Alicia. I couldn't have done it without you. Surprisingly, the day went so much smoother than I had anticipated. I just knew the bunnies would get tired, or we would get backed up, but not one incident. ONCE AGAIN NO POOP!!! Caramel and Ella are the best natured bunnies I have ever had. YES, we are keeping these too. How can I give away a bunny who will climb up your shoulder and kiss your chin? I can't. Not only did the bunnies have to work on Saturday, they had to work on Sunday too. Well, I am giving them a few days off this week. I do not know if they will get to rest since Presli likes to play with them every chance she gets.





Of course I did not get away without Presli sneaking in on some shots. During our lunch, she changed clothes and said "I am ready."

She's got PERSONALITY!!!!

If you know Kerin, she is always laughing and smiling. I smile every time I see her bright eyes light up.

This is her oldest sister Holly. They came to take some pictures with the bunnies, but we decided to take it in a different direction with Holly. She is so much fun. I love helping people plan outfits and coming out of their shell. Well Holly has it all together!!! All I have to do is pick up the camera and she is totally ready. These are her favorite "Big Blue Sunglasses". Her mom says she would sleep in them if she could.



You can just hear her laughing in this shot.


I think she is trying to play innocent!!




This is Rachel. She is the middle sister. Three gorgeous red-headed gals. Dad better watch out.

NO POOP!!!

NO POOP!!!! If you have ever worked with live animals you know sooner or later one of the animals will relieve itself. I had two different shoots this afternoon with 6 different children. The bunnies were great!!! I think these two bunnies are the sweetest ones we have ever had.



Erin was so cute!!! She was going to hold him away from her pretty dress.

Matthew was an absolutely charming little man. I rarely see 3 year old children who follow directions so well.


OH WHAT BIG FEET YOU HAVE!!!! We might have to rename this little guy to Thumper!!

Presli's first convertible!


Here she is with her first pink convertible!!! She was so excited on her birthday. This Barbie car has the hit with her and her friends.

The bunnies have arrived!

Tomorrow starts the big bunny fun. We received our bunnies this weekend. Oh my goodness they are sooooooo sweet. Tanner named the boy Caramel, can you guess what color he is? As for the little girl bunny, Presli has changed her name several times. She started out as Ella, then she was Singa. She has now been, Cinderella, Tinkerbell, Tinkerella, Ponga, and Presliella. It really doesn't matter what her name is; she is wonderful.



I will be shooting our Easter pictures at the studio everyday this week. I have one time slot left on Wednesday. Saturday we will be taking pictures at Walker for the Relay for Life fundraiser. Then I have a few slots left next Tuesday and Thursday. The following Saturday, March 21, there are some afternoon slots. The last day for the bunnies will be on Saturday March 28.

I will have a few shots tomorrow to share with you.

The last four years!!

Presli is turning 4 on Wednesday. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite pictures from my slide show on my computer. She has grown so fast. I can still remember going to the hospital to be induced in labor. It was just like when I had Tanner; the doctor told Tracy it would be awhile so he could go get some food. He had barely made it to the cafeteria when I had to call him and tell him to come back, she was ready. Surprise, Surprise Tracy was not the only person who was out of pocket. My doctor was in surgery because she thought there would be time. Well, I had to wait 50 minutes to have her. The nurse would not even let me laugh. Let me tell you it was hard. Anyway I have rambled enough. I just wanted to share these.




Presli's first birthday!




Believe it or not, she did eat all of this!!



My little Minnie Mouse.



She would be in her bare feet anywhere.








One of her favorite places, the beach.




This was taken just a few months ago playing outside at Granmommy's and Pa's.

She has the best personality. I can not believe she has grown so fast. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESLI!!!!! I will post some after party pictures next weekend.









Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!!!


Last night was The Miss Walker Pageant. All the proceeds go to our Relay for Life team. We had a blast. The theme this year was the 80's. Boy does that bring back memories. I really enjoy reliving my youth, only if it was for one night. Here are some fun shots from last night. These are all teachers at Walker.

A friend of mine took this picture of us dancing to "Freeze Frame"
