I was able to spend some more time with this lovely family since baby ‘O’ turned 1 yr old! His big bro, ‘J’, just turned 3 as well so I got some shots of the two of them. Aren’t they adorable?

And what is a first birthday without a cake smash? YUMMM!!

It was so wonderful to spend more time with you guys! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

I so enjoyed my time with this lovely family! They have 3 boys, all about 2 yrs apart (if I remember correctly). They were so well behaved and we had so much fun exploring the park! And they let me get some shots in as well!

This sneak peek is way overdue - I’m very behind on blog updates! Although I cannot complain about my pregnancy as it’s been very easy, I am still not working at normal capacity, which has put me behind. I’m so thankful for my clients who have been so understanding!!! Thank you for being patient with me!!

Sweet ‘P’ family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! Gallery will be up soon!

Got to meet up with this lovely family last week - 3 families and the grandparents! It was a gorgeous day but no wind so it was hot hot hot!

One of the families stayed behind for more shots and we moved to the top of the hill at the Victorian garden. Ah, so much better! There was a nice breeze there, which made all the difference!

Thank you, ‘S’ family, for thinking of me - it was great meeting all of the family!

I love this in black and white, too!

These were taken at the Victorian garden with the ‘S’ family. I’ve been photographing them since their youngest, little Miss ‘M’, was 3 months old! It was great to spend some time with them again!

Now this little one, Miss ‘M’, is now 2 years old. And typical for that age, she was constantly on the move and very difficult to photograph, but oh so cute!

Now this young man was a ham and would pose for me every chance he got!

Another poser here!

And love this shot of mom and dad! It just screamed black and white…

And this shot has a story all its own. Miss ‘M’ wanted to use her brother’s heads as bongo drums. They just patiently let her bang away on their heads! What a riot! LOVE this shot!

Thanks again you guys! More to come soon!

I can’t believe how much ‘S’ has changed since I started photographing her at 4 months old! She has beautiful, auburn curls and such a sweet personality. Big brother, ‘D’, wanted to get in to the action as well so we got a few shots of him, but I must say he needs a session all his own. He was way too busy for my camera!

Here is a sneak peek! Thank you so much, Juli, for bringing your kiddos out and allowing me to have fun photographing them!

I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I started photographing these girls! The 2 little ones are twins - born at 29 weeks - and such little miracles! And they sure love their big sis!

You can see how much they have grown by looking here and here.

I had a ton of fun yesterday with the ‘K’ family - thank you guys so much for allowing me to spend the afternoon with you!

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Look at this sweet little pout. Love it!

Now there’s a smile!!

Little ‘J’ was all about playing games - just don’t ask her to look at you, she’s too smart for that!

And of course, here’s gorgeous big sis!

We had a ton of fun with our fruit ‘picnic’! The twins liked the apples! ‘B’ liked taking one bite, sucking the juice out, and spitting out the peel and little ‘J’ would taking one huge bite from an apple, throw it down, and get another one to bite in to! Big sis, ‘A’, liked the lemons! I’ve never seen anyone peel a lemon and eat it like an orange but she certainly did and never made one face! I’m seriously making a face just thinking about it!

There are many more favorites but I have to save some for the gallery. More to come soon!

As our Christmas Day comes to a close, I’m so thankful for everything and everyone in my life, and most of all for the reason for the season. I can’t begin to tell you how much Jesus has done for me - and it’s just so wonderful that 2000 years after His birth, we are still honoring Him every year on this day. We give gifts to those we love and care about because our heavenly Father gave his son to us, as a gift, to save the world. Amazing.

I hope this post finds everyone safe and sound and OFF those nasty roads! We actually postponed our family Christmas for a few days just so we wouldn’t be traveling today. It’s been such a fun day watching the kids play with their new games and toys and playing with them (until they decide I’m too lame at video games to keep playing with me - and it’s sooo true, that I’m lame at video games that is!).

On that note, I thought I’d post a few of my fam!! The awesome Sarah Mansur of Sarah Mansur Photography did our family portraits this year. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your talent with us! We are so greatful and love our images! And a big thank you to Stacy and Deemer, who allowed us to go to their ranch in Bixby to shoot on their amazing property! We had so much fun and just LOVED it out there!

We decided to do an extended family session and include my two sisters and my brother-in-law. We’ve never had a family portrait together and it was way overdue!

Since my oldest son ran far far away the first chance he got, Sarah didn’t get any individual shots of him, so before we left I made sure to get a few - this is one I just love! I know he’s not smiling, but sometimes those non-smiling shots are my favorites….

Merry Christmas and have a safe, and amazing New Year!!

I have photographed this gorgeous family before, so I was so excited when they asked me to do their fall portraits! These aren’t really a sneak peek, but definitely blog worthy so I just had to post!

You can definitely see where little ‘L’ gets her looks! Aren’t they gorgeous?

‘L’ totally humored me with this one!!! Thank you for letting me wrap you in leopard fur!! I just couldn’t resist!

I had a blast with you guys!!! Thank you for allowing me to be your photographer!

These gorgeous girls were so fun! They sure loved the Smarties! I couldn’t be happier with how these turned out - group shots with these ages can be really hard and I actually got a few!

This really isn’t a sneak peek because the gallery is almost ready, but it’s just that time of year! My blog is taking a hit but I couldn’t resist posting some of these!

Thank you so much, ‘S’, for allowing me to photograph you and the girls. You are ALL stunning and so much fun!

Well, this sweet little guy is so big now! He is one of my baby planners but had colic and reflux so badly in the first few months, he didn’t have a 3 month session. So, now at almost 6 months old, I can’t believe how big he is! And I haven’t photographed big brother since he was one and now he’s 2 1/2! I so appreciate you guys coming out to get family portraits this year! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!

These two were so much fun! They have known each other since birth and their parents are the God parents for each other’s kids. So, though they aren’t related, they are like brother and sister!

Thank you, ‘A’, for allowing me to be your photographer! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
