Labor Day Weekend

Anytime we have a three day weekend, we pack up the kids (and most of our house) and take off to Vandalia where Jimmy's parents have nice quiet place on the lake. We enjoy fishing, cruising on the boat, swimming, eating and of course good company. Some home madewine too! The first few pictures are of Connor and his grandma, Fran. Fran, along with Dean, have been best friends with Jimmy's parents ever since Jimmy was little so they are like family to us. It is always so relaxing to go to the lake, a nice little get away with babysitters! Who can complain about that?

Morgan, High School Senior-Tri-Valley High School

I was granted the pleasure of photographing Morgan for her high school senior pictures. She is just gorgeous and the camers LOVES her! I may be a bit biased, after all, she is my cousin! We had a lot of fun going to the different locations, especially the ones downtown. We were stopping traffic and cars were pulling over to watch us!

















These pictures caused a stir on the streets! I love how she rocked her red converse shoes!











My schedule is filling up fast, so please contact me if you are looking for a session this fall.

The Balloon.......

Papa Howard took Finley to Bloomington for an errand and came back with this beloved balloon. She had so much fun running around with it and watching it sail in the air. Sadly, shortly after these photos were taken the balloon went to balloon heaven in the sky. It was so tired from all the love Fin had given it and detached itself from the string and soared away in the sky.




I thought about labeling this an outtake, but it really isn't. This is my daughter, always clowning around. Yes, I will claim her!



Have a safe holiday!

My new Favorites

Here are my new favorites of my kiddos. Slowly, they are starting to realize that mom just loves to have a camera pointed at them frequently! Well, summer is starting to wind down, so here are a few summer pics to celebrate a wonderful season.

Braedyn, 3 months

Look at this big guy all grown up at three months! I photographed him while he was still in mommy's tummy and as a newborn as well. Wow, does time fly!







Hmmmm, have I ever told you I am obsessed with little baby feet?

Macy

Isn't Miss Macy a doll? She has the bluest eyes! I grew up with Macy's dad so it was nice to catch up with him and Macy's mom. Thank you so much for coming to see me, twice! (We had to reschedule the outside session due to rain)









Macy's mom made her hairpiece!

Miss Millie

Miss Millie was 14 days when she came to visit me. Isn't is she just darling? She decided she was going to stay awake for a few hours so it was nice to chat with mom and dad for a little bit. Proud aunt came along too!














I have been working on these next two poses with newborns so I was so excited that I got this cute little button to do this for me!




Did I mention I am obsessed with baby feet?
