My favorite family, the P family!!

What to say about the P family...they.are.awesome. I've done so many shoots for them, I've lost count! It's to the point that we don't really even have to discuss what to do anymore, everyone just takes their place :) They are really fun to work with and it doesn't hurt that they are the PRETTIEST family I've ever seen!!! I mean seriously! Now the last time I photographed little Max was for his 1st birthday back in July. He has changed so much since then and I really got to capture his great personality this time :) We had a fun time playing peek-a-boo around the colomns and playing with his favorite stuffed animals. We tried to hit up the waterfall-minus-the water (how does a place have a waterfall and NOT have it turned on?!) but Max was officially done by then, so we called it a wrap. But I think it was still very successful! Yay! Enjoy!

Go Broncos!!

Well, I got to take a trip down memory lane a couple of weeks ago when I was invited to take pictures for the Dayton Bronco Cheerleaders at a game in Austin. Special thanks to my dear neice Katie for the gig :) Anyway, even though it has only been a couple of years since I have been out of high school (or so I tell myself), it all came back to me so quickly. Now don't get me wrong, I have nooooo desire to go back (can you say DRAMA!!) but it was fun reliving those days for a couple of hours. First off, let me tell you that even though this game was over 3 hours away from Dayton (and not even a championship game), I'm pretty sure 90% of the town was there for support. Now THAT my friend, is impressive. Anyway, on to the cheerleaders!!! They were pretty darn impressive, too! Apparently, several of them were either sick or injured. And on top of that, they had to trade in their beautiful Saturday at home with all there big Saturday plans to be at this game all the way in Austin (3 hr bus ride...cheer...3 hr bus ride...dark). But the show must go on, and that they did! Even though I liked watching the cheers, it was really fun to watch them in between cheers just hangin out with each other. You can tell that even though this wasn't their fav place to be, they still enjoyed being with each other.
A special thanks to Alda Wood for allowing me to do this--hope you're pleased!! I had a great time!
Sooo, here are some of my pics. Take a trip with me--yelling fans...drums pounding...trumpets (and clarinets--go clarinets!) blaring...cheers, flips, jumps...intense football players...LET'S GO!!!

Meet Baby Claira...

I went last week and took pictures of little Claira and I LOVE me a good, tiny newborn! She was very happy as long as I wasn't trying to take pictures of her :) It took a while, but after a lot of comfort breaks, we were able to get some good pictures of her. Since she was born the Monday before Halloween, it was only fitting to put her in a girlie little Halloween tutu and take some pics :) And her Dadddy is in the Army so we had to take some pics with all his gear-too cute! It's always funny to watch newborns and all their movements and quirks. Claira liked to stick her tongue out all the time and one leg was always sticking out straight! Mommy said that must've been the leg that was wedged in her ribcage the last few weeks :)

Baby Claira, your Mommy and Daddy have been waiting for you for a long time and I can tell they are going to love you and give you the world. Well, here's a sneak-peek of her photo shoot --Enjoy!
