"Hey Girl"- I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

I just have to say that I LOVE the theme of this month's challenge!  It's a wonderful way to show how beautiful all girls are...no matter what size or what age they are!  Girl power, unite!!!  :) 

I recently had the joy of capturing this little beauty in a session with her adorable little sister.  She was so serious and shy at first, but she ended up warming up to me and my camera.  This is the first shot of the day....she put her hands up to her face like this in a lot of the photos I took.  Is this her future modeling pose?  Perhaps!! :)

Ronnie- Senior 2012

My dear friend, who's family has been to hell and back this year, called me 3 days prior to a deadline asking if I could possibly take some senior portraits of her son so that he could turn his head shots into the yearbook. I had been wanting to do something for her family and just never knew what to do, so this was my chance!!  It was a rush (to say the least) and I didn't get to plan it out how I had wanted, but it was still special.  He is a wonderful young man...smart, talented, kind and truly an inspiration as he has overcome so many obstacles in his young life.  It was my pleasure to be able to capture these for him!

Rise and Shine...it's Easter morning!!

It has been our little family tradition to go on an Easter egg hunt on Easter morning.  I attend our church's sunrise service at 7am and then rush home to hide eggs before our little guy wakes.  When he does get up, it's a mad dash to the yard to find eggs.  It's special moments like this that make my heart happy!! :)  While the true meaning of Easter is to celebrate the risen Savior who freed us from sin, it's still nice to have little family times like this too.

Landin- Easter 2012

I have had the joy of capturing this little guy since birth and it has been a wonderful experience to see him grow up from behind my lens!  He is a sweet little guy and I enjoy the time I get to spend with him at these sessions or just for a playdate!!! :)

Jackson- Spring 2012

I normally don't bring my son on photo shoots with me, but I didn't have a sitter, I knew we were going to be at a beautiful place and couldn't resist bringing him along with me to get some Easter photos of him!
