Hometown Girl

Last night, Mike and I spent a beautiful evening with Sydney and her mom trekking all around Boone County for Sydney's senior session. Conversation came up about the location of her session and whether it was a good thing to have kept it "local" to the area. I can confidently say, after looking these pictures over, that we made the right choice. Sydney's pictures are unique and beautiful and who would have thought that such cool places could be found right here....yes, in our own hometown.... I hope you enjoy the images Sydney and thanks for giving Mike and me such gorgeous smiles.

Too Cute

Last night Mike and I met with Gavin and his mommy and daddy for some pictures at the IMA. We had a tough time finding each other amidst the sheer craziness going on. I have never seen so many photographers in my life all in one location vying for the prime spot to shoot the perfect picture. Aside from the insanity though, there was Gavin.... He was a little bit cautious at the beginning keeping his distance from me and the camera but by the end of the evening he was all smiles and that grin of his melted my heart. Thanks for such a wonderful evening and I hope you enjoy the pics!

Autumn Glory

This past weekend, Mike and I spent a few hours with the Miller family. This gang was completely laid back and so much fun! I learned from my husband that Kevin, one of the members in this family, saved Mike's life many, many years ago when Mike was just a boy. Coming from a small town, it seems that we know, in some way or another, our clients or friends of our clients or distant relation to our clients but none of them quite as interestingly as Kevin - thanks again, we certainly wouldn't be here today without your heroic deed. I had such a terrific time with you all and hope that you will get many years of joy from these moments that we were able to share together on a brisk Autumn afternoon.

Little Man

Tonight was my last session with Cyle and he never ceases to amaze me with how much he has grown in just in a mere 3 months time. Cyle didn't look like a baby anymore. He has grown into a busy, animated little boy who kept me laughing with his smiles and nursery rhyming songs. I hated for our time to end together - but, Cyle is going to be a big brother very soon and I can't wait to watch him help mommy and daddy with the new baby. Hugs and kisses to you little man and the next time I see you, you will be a big brother and I just know you'll be fabulous!

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf

Little Red Riding Hood....a tale we all know from our childhood takes on a new light during today's photo shoot. My niece, Carrieanne, and my dearest pal, Titan, helped to enact this famous fairy tale adding our own special twist to the story and I must say that frankly, I like our version just a wee bit better. The big bad wolf wasn't so bad and Little Red wasn't off to see a sick old granny. Instead, these two pals shared cookies, hugs and lots of kisses in the thick of the forest behind granny's house.

Doin' It Bulldog Style

Yesterday Mike and I had the best time with the Ebert clan at the Butler campus. This family is die-hard so we had to take a photo in front of Hinkle Stadium. We then ventured around campus for a bit stopping off at the gardens and finishing up on the bridge. It was a great evening and I was even able to reminisce about the good ol' days of high school as a few of the folks in the crowd shared some extremely funny....and maybe even embarrassing, memories of fonder days gone by. Thanks Eberts! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you and hope that you will enjoy these memories captured for years to come!

We Are Family

Mike and I spent another fun-filled night with the Teipen family. It was our yearly appointment for pictures and I was completely amazed at how much the boys had grown. And, there was a new family member that I was introduced to for the first time....the beautiful Miss Kinley. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean....seriously. It was so great to see everyone again. Your family is absolutely wonderful.
