Come Fly With Me...

When I first decided to make photography my career I had a specific market in mind....Life!

I love family and children's photography but I wanted to take it a step further and photograph families in their element.
I would love to build a session around an event that you enjoy! Do you love to have picnics, snowball fights, trips to the beach, or flying a kite!
How about a "Day in the life of your family". Does your family have a tradition of cooking breakfast every weekend or baking Christmas cookies...?
These are the photos that I love taking of my family.

Yesterday we decided to take advantage of the windy weather & found an old Spiderman kite that was missing some parts but hey, it flew!

Soooo much fun!

Taking tips from Daddy.....



Aven Dean



She is all about Daddy & Carter

Big D & Little D

I love taking pictures of these two handsome little boys.....

Dylan had fun running around while I chased him & Drew mostly wanted to be snuggled in his mommy's arms...but I did manage to snap a few of them together... here is a teaser.



Pulling Goober in the Teddy Express Wagon.



Very important members of the Family!











I love architecture in pictures...I love this one :)



He always has a smile for me.

Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo & Manolo Blahnik's...

So ...we have all heard of these famous designers, but can you imagine your 3 young daughters playing with your priceless 4" heals? I can't!

After I was booked for this session I found out that the mom is a shoe fanatic....130 pairs to be exact....(Kelly, I say that with the utmost respect) & with three daughters.....HELLO...Could you ask for a more perfect shoot?

Kelly finally got the nerve and we did a cute indoor photo shoot before we headed outside!

Hope you like 'em Kelly...you are brave!!




These are my fave!












Christan Louboutin......The Red Sole Shoe...you had to see on Oprah!






Manolo Blahniks...



More Christan Louboutin.

My children...

I realized that taking pictures of my own children is a lot harder then taking pictures of other children!
I actually find my self getting mad & start bribing my son with chocolate and ice cream...it never works & we usually end up leaving in frustration.

Well, last nights attempt @ Christmas card pictures went something like that. I didn't get the "posed" picture that I wanted for the grandparents but I love the ones that I did get!

Last beach day of the year :(

I love fall.... I have to admit it, it's my favorite season....however the last days of summer always bring a tear to my eye.

Ok, I am over it.... bring on Halloween....& Christmas!

Here are a few from the last days of summer;


Chris & Carter taking Aven for a walk.



Carter drew a heart...just for me :)



My man....just a thinkin'



Upside down sand angels.



Lets go back to the campsite!

Put some personality into your invitations!

When my sister asked me to do birthday invitations for my niece, I knew that I wanted something fun & unique.
We did a mini photo shoot in my backyard and added them to her invitation!

I had so much fun doing this! So... I will be adding a 1/2 hour session with invitation design to my price list soon. :)

New Announcements

Lately I have been asked about Baby Announcements.
I haven't really done many...except for my two children and my niece and nephew.
So I decided to add them to my price list.
Here are 3 samples that I just did for a client. As you can see I am lovin' the green!

I have lot's more to come...
