Bethany

WOW! What a fun, fun session we had! Bethany has such a relaxed and easy going attitude and we really go to play around with some fun things at her session. She wanted snow, so we found snow! I know you wouldn't think that would be hard in South Dakota this time of year, but it can be tricky!

Thanks for your free spirit and wonderful expressions! I had a great time working with you and capturing all your cute nose wrinkles too!

CHEERS!

M'Lynn

What a beautiful senior! I had so much fun with M'Lynn and her mom yesterday. The weather was beautiful and we were outside for the whole session. I mean we couldn't have asked for a better day. I laughed so much!!! ha ha I could tell every time M'Lynn had a great smile that her mom was doing something that was making her brighten up. :) What a special bond they have.

Cute clothes, fabulous scarves, and wonderful smile!!!

Thank you for taking the stairs with me about a dozen times girls! I had a great day and enjoyed our chats and laughs. You two are a breath of fresh air!!!!

Best of wishes in all you M'Lynn!!!

Enjoy!!!

Burr...

The snow was falling... and I was screaming with excitement today during Shelby's senior photos!

I actually think it will continue to keep snowing into the evening and I look forward to hearing that Shelby and her mom and sister made it home safely to NE on these roads.

:) What a great SENIOR session! Her outfits were perfect, fun and colorful! We enjoyed the warmth of the studio for the larger majority of the session but then didn't let a lot of snow falling to stop our outdoor enthusiasm. LOL

Thanks to her wonderful sister and mom for their help and smiles!

Shelby is such a sweetie and you can't help but to get lost in her amazing eyes! Thanks for making the drive up her girls! I enjoyed all the new spots we were able to explore today... and yes... I LOVED the awesome snowflakes!!! I have to admit I jumped... and screamed with excitement at how I could actually see all the details to the snowflakes. I mean it was like all the clones we make of snowflakes really do look like the real thing! What an amazing gift that was created for us to enjoy!

... some more than others!!! Hee hee

Take care!

Enjoy your sneak peak...

Keep warm!

Clay & McKayla

Wew!!! Just getting back in and warming up my fingers enough to send out a little blog for Clay and McKayla's engagement session.

We were able to move their session up from 5pm to 2pm today and are so thankful for being able to do that. It sure was getting colder and colder out there!

Fall colors, the creek, smiles, laughter, sunshine, long sleeve shirts... and SNOW!!! Wait the best part was the final touch they added with their beanies! :)

Can't wait to check all those out! LOL They were so darn cute!!

Clay and McKayla are engaged to be married on January 2, 2010! What a wonderful way to bring in the new year!

I had such a wonderful time. Thanks for your genuine smiles, your heart felt laughter and for the memories.

Enjoy these couple of shots!

The boys...

These twins are turning 4 today!!! Happy birthday to the two of them! I hope all their fun surprises today go as planned.

Yesterday was the perfect day for their photos. We couldn't have asked for warmer fall weather, beautiful leaves, colors and everyone had their naps in! I think if I could have had my wish we could have went on climbing trees, fishing, piling what leaves there were and forget about going back to the studio!

These two photos are two of my favorites! I just love the little look on their younger brothers face and the twins are just "classic" up on the tree like the big boys they are! I will not add all the photos up here that could be used to show the boy's girlfriends some day, I'll keep those for their parents!

Thanks for bringing your boys Jaime! They are so adorable!

I still sit here and laugh when I go through their session. There are just so many expressions and looks!

Fall is Here!

Good morning... afternoon... evening... whenever you read this I guess!!!

I have to say I love fall... I just love the warm colors, the changing of bright green leaves to bright yellow, orange, and red. I enjoy cuddling up in a blanket with a warm cup of hot cocoa. It's always fun to put away the summer clothes and get out the long sleeve wardrobe and heavier layers!

But...

The darn wind and chilly weather does make it a bit of an obstacle when it comes to outdoor portraits!

Yesterday was forecast as one of the last nice days we would be having because of a storm front coming in. It's was great when I received a call from my Hannah's mom to see if we could meet up yesterday afternoon for her senior session instead of this morning. We went ahead and rearranged our schedules and did just that!
It was a good thing we did cause...

They weren't joking either on the weather!!!

Today there is wind blowing like crazy the air is chilly and I hate to say this but the furnace at the studio is running!

A little bit more about Hannah's session....

We were on location and photographing about 2:15pm yesterday and it was great, hardly any wind and beautiful fall colors. We were laughing, smiling and really feeling blessed to have such a great day and getting to fit in the session just as we planned.

Ha ha

Then the wind came up like crazy... you'll see the awesome affect it had on Hannah's long hair!

I think it was... reminding us we are not in control!

The overall session was fantastic! I had such an enjoyable time working with them. We played with some fun ideas, explored around and made it into the studio right before it started raining! I was exposed to some new phrases that I have all but forgot!

Marilee, I will be calling you later to be reminded of those! OH... and to see what other posing ideas you may have thought of! hee hee

Thank you! I enjoyed myself very much and am grateful for your smiles and laughter!

Your sneak peak to come!
