Happy Birthday Jakob

My boy is 11 today! It has been the most amazing thing watching him grow over the past 11 years. He has amazed us in so many ways. Tonight we celebrated his birthday which he made sure we didn't forget. He kept telling me all week that his birthday was on Friday just in case we might forget:) And he left me a voice mail at work today telling me that when I called him back, the first thing that comes out of my mouth had better be "Happy Birthday". And then when Savannah and I got home today he kept asking Savannah to tell him "Happy Birthday" every five minutes. The boy is crazy! That's why we love him so. He makes life so enjoyable and keeps us cracking up!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKOB....lOVE, MOM, DAD AND BANA

My Baby is 3

It seems like only yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. Sean and I sit back all the time and ask where the time has gone. Savannah has brought so much joy to all of our lives. She's such a big girl and has the most suprising sense of humor ever. She's always making us laugh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS!! lOVE, MOMMY, DADDY AND JAKOB

L & J

Little "L" and Little "J" were too adorable. We had our session at the park and they had so much fun climbing, running, and chasing the ducks. Here's a sneak peak for mom!

A Day At The Park

While Jakob was busy working on a project for school and daddy was watching the game, I took Savannah out for a day at the park. We had a lot of fun! We fed the ducks, played on the playground and in between she allowed me to take some shots.

My Favorite Time of Year

I LOVE FALL! I love jeans and sweaters!! Of course we haven't had a need for the sweaters a whole lot lately which is fine by the way. Plenty of time for that later.

Jakob wanted to show dad his school which turns out is a magnificent place for a shoot!!! I was drooling over the barns, lush green grass, large rocks and the leaves that had already started turning. I think we'll have to go back soon!!!

NEW WEBSITE!!!

My New Website is here! Thanks to Jeremy over at Member First Mortgage and my hubby Sean for all of your help in creating this website for me! And they actually gave me control over a good amount of the design myself. So I was able to share in the experience as well. It was a lot of fun, however, I am happy it's finished!

And thanks to all of my clients who allowed me to use photos from their session for the website!!

The Sweetest Thing

Came home the other day to this. Our German Shepherd Mojo had been digging under the fence profusely. We kept telling her no. Apparently she had her own agenda as did the neighbor's dog. It was the sweetest thing to see them interact together. But Mojo wasn't happy when it was time for him to go home though:)

The "D" Family

This was truly one of the funnest families I've had the opportunity to photograph. They were all so laid back and cracking jokes that I had a really great time! I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them!! Here's a preview of your photos:)

amazing boys + amazing location = amazing session

These boys were such a delight to photograph! Jakob (my son and assistant) and I had so much fun! We chatted about the amazing location grandma chose, tv and of course video games. Thanks to grandma for letting me meet and photograph them! Here's a sneak peak:)
