Painted Portraits- I LOVE THESE!!

These three images happen to be my three children (big shock ;) ). They are images that I have taken. I can't take credit for the painted part though. I have to thank Beeka for that part. I am now offering the painted portraits so if you might be interested please contact me and set up an appointment. I have to say that I just LOVE them! Thank you Beeka!!

Tilli- 6 Months

Awww....I have to say that I loved working with Miss Tilli! What a sweet baby girl. It took her awhile (two sessions actually :) ) to warm up to me but once she did she gave me some great stuff! A big thanks goes out to Tilli's mommy for bringing her in. I have so many great ideas for the big 1-year session so I hope to see them back. :) Here are a few favorites from the session.

Ashtyn- 3 Months

Little miss Ashtyn came into see me for her 3 month session. What a little cutie! I love those cheeks and that beautiful brown curly hair of hers. I did her newborn session as well. It is always so much fun to see how much they have changed in only 3 short months. Here are a few of her mommy's favorites! I am also including the Valentine card that I designed for this session. I can't wait until her 6 month session!!

Kally

This is my daughter and I recently did some shots of her. I was trying to get something that we could enter into the photogenic category for her dance competitions this spring. I believe this is the one we will be using. Well, unless she lets me do more of her and we get something better. :)

Update: I am so happy to say that she did win the photogenic award at her first competition this past weekend. She has another one in two weeks. We'll see how she does at that one. :)

Jasmyne & Olivia- Sisters!

These two sisters are absolutely adorable! I really enjoyed having them in my studio. They came in with their mom (who happens to be a long time friend of mine). I managed to get some really great images of them (the chair images happen to be my faves). Thanks Jay for bringing them in. :)

Dagen & Brylee

This is my niece and my nephew. My sister brought them over before Christmas to get some Christmas shots. Here are a few that we managed to get. :)

Montie & Family

This is Montie and he is releasing a new gospel CD soon. He contacted me because he had seen some other work of mine and wanted me to produce images for is CD and promo material. He also asked me to get some shots of him and his wife Caroline and also his granddaughter Hannah.

Brent & Holly

What a great couple! I had a lot of fun shooting this session. We did a few inside the studio and then headed outside (where we got some of my favorite images from this session). Thank you two for giving me the opportunity to capture some great memories.

Brothers

These two little guys came to see me before Christmas. What a fun session! It took a while for the little one to get warmed up but once he did we were able to get some adorable images. As you can see we even got shots of the little guy beating up his big brother. :)

Ashtyn- Newborn

This little cutie is Ashtyn. Her mommy (also pictured) brought her in for her newborn session before Christmas. In addition to beautiful newborn images we also managed to get a totally adorable Christmas image as you can see. I do have to say I just LOVE all of that hair you have miss Ashtyn! :)
