May 2011 Sparkle and Shine!

As you can see, I'm letting the New Year's card I created for this wonderful family be my inspiration for this post. I wish I had some inspirational words or profound and very meaningful message to add, but I don't. I do, however, want to take just a moment to express a sincere thank you to all my clients who have entrusted me to capture their images through out this past year. I look forward to another fantastic year. Bring on 2011!

Miss A in the spotlight

Miss A did share the spotlight but only briefly b/c the main focus was on her. As you can see from her newborn session she is growing. She is so easy on the eyes with her sparkly blues and adorable little grin. She's in training to be just as photogenic as her brother = )

I love this sequence!! Starting with the very serious face, growing into a half smirk, and finally the full out smile!


A different take on this image from above.

3 little Turkeys

Okay, I know, Thanksgiving is past but still, you have to admit it's a cute title and very fitting for this bunch who happen to be good friends of mine and the Mister. Whether it guys time, ladies time, or family time, it's always sure to be a blast. I have to give mom and dad some credit as they sure do make beautiful kids. Little Miss is no exception and has added a nice dynamic to the family. Cute as a button and perfectly content, I can't wait to watch her grow.

Catching up with a college friend

Before Thanksgiving, I had the opportunity to photograph a good friend from college along with his girlfriend, her son and his nieces. Things are definitely different then they were in college, which is a good thing. It means we have grown up, at least for the most part = )

B - I think you have found a keeper, not that you asked for my opinion = )


JMan, who will be three very soon and was uber active, as all three year old's should be!


The nieces...

a belated veteran note

This family is very busy with a 7 year old, who will be 8 in just a few days, and twin 7 month olds. Dad was home from Iraq for just several weeks and will return to serve another 6-7 months. So, it was perfect timing to get some family pictures. Also on their plate is some much needed family time with a trip to Kansas City. Sounds like the perfect plan to me. Hmmm, maybe this is food for thought = )

I saw this on Facebook and thought is worthy of repeating as well as appropriate...

"A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. That is beyond honor, and there are way to many people in this country who no longer remember that fact. Copy and paste if you are a Veteran, know a Veteran, love a Veteran."

Fall is in full force = )

Last year I met this wonderful family and photographed their boys. This year they returned to get a much needed family portrait. The day was beautiful, the Husker's were winning, the glorious fall colors were in full force and all was well in the land of Nebraska! I absolutely LOVE this time of year. The colors, the cooler temps, the holiday preparations, etc...

Austin - Senior Rep Class of 2011

Meet Austin, a senior at EHS. As you might gather from his images, he is very tall. Of course, it was one of the few times I didn't bring my stepping stool but I managed = ) Austin was extremely relaxed and natural, making my job all that much easier.

I've had a few inquiries from you juniors out there. Yes, it's never too early to get on the schedule for next year and get the rewards of being a rep.
