The "P" Family

When I was young, I always wanted a family of boys. Wouldn't it be grand to be the only girl among boys? I pictured indoor ball playing and hours of "rough housing." When I took pictures of this family, all of those desires came flooding back. Look at these cute boys. I won't lie either, I would love to look like Char. She is such a fashionista. I met Char through a good friend (I have been blessed with so many good friends). Char is a talented woman. She is the owner of Persnickety Prints and fabulous on the computer. She is also  talented with a camera, skinny, beautiful, hip (if I dare use that word), kind and always willing to help. Char is the one who helped me update my blog a while back and has plans to help me do it again soon. When I met her cute family, it was no surprise that they were every bit as awesome as Char. 

Take a look.......

Had to post this!!!

 Great looking family!!

Summer and Chris

9 Months Old

These adorable babies are 9 months old. I loved our photo shoot!!!

Stay tuned for 1 year!!!!

Little Maddox...

This is Maddox. Newborn son of a friend of mine. I was elated when she asked if I would take his picture. There is something so special about newborn babies. Look at this cute little guy.

He was such a sweetie. 

He made me so anxious to meet my little girl.

My Ryanne

ryanne

today my Ryanne turned 12. yep, i said it, 12. it is totally cliche to say time has flown. TIME HAS FLOWN! it seems like yesterday she was a chubby 2 year old. 

i clearly remember how well she "slipped" into our family. I am reminded every day that i will learn more from ryanne than she will ever learn from me.

ryanne is funny, kind, sensitive, beautiful and loved by all. to know her is to love her.

happy birthday, sweet ryanne.

Faces of Zuri

 I love to photograph to people. I believe that every photograph tells a story. While I love the happy, smiley stories told by many pictures, I absolutely adore the stories told by unconventional photographs. 

This is Zuri. I met her the day she was born. She is my neighbor and friend. Zuri is very passionate. She has no problem expressing her thoughts and feelings. These aren't always expressed by words. Often times, Zuri lets you know what she is thinking or feeling by the look on her face. She is almost always happy and smiling. She is beautiful and it would be hard to take a bad picture of her. 

Here are the "not so conventional" pictures that I took of Zuri. 

I couldn't resist.(Keep in mind that this was a 2 hour photo shoot)

I won't bore everyone  with the thoughts and emotions that accompany each image. BUT, if you know Zuri, you know exactly what story she is trying tell in each photo.

Honestly, I can't imagine my life without Zuri in it. I love each half smile and squinty glare that she has given me!

I hope you love being "3" beautiful Zuri!!

Brooke

For those of you who know Brooke, she is beautiful on the inside and out. I have known her since she was little. I was honored to photograph her. She has grown into an amazing young woman!
