Ella & Jax

We actually got out of the house one day this last week while the temperatures got into the 40s! Fresh Air finally, only to spend the rest of the decent weekend stuck inside as the stomach flu invaded our house! It was a terrible weekend but I am thinking that no matter what this one can not be worse, maybe for Shane as he jumps into Longview Lake to raise money for the Special Olympics! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, here are my munchkins who will probably be invading my BLOG till things warm up a bit!

Brady & Hanna

Here are a few photos of Brady and my new niece, Hanna. Tanya always wants to fly me out to Sandopoint to take photos of the kids, we tried around October but could not get it to work out with all the shoots. I am a little scared to fly by myself with two kids one kid was hard enough! So when they were in town over Christmas we did a few little shoots, with the negative below 30 weather we had to do everything inside but we made due. Not my ideal situation but it makes me work harder!

I love sleeping babies, Fave

McManus Family

Jayme contacted me in the fall to take family photos of all the kids and grandkids for her mom for Christmas. Her mom had no idea, so I waited to post these until after the holidays. I met them up in St. Joe and took a few at their mom's house (they had sent her off to do some Christmas shopping), and then headed to downtown Saint Joe to take a few at the ice rink that her younger brother and nephew play at. Such an awesome idea, this group was so easy to photograph and all of them got into the pictures even the big boys :)

Cutler, he is such a cutie and was happy as could be even though he had been sick the day before!


Check out my new Bride and Groom on the right! Congrats you two!

Elise: 1 year

Here is Elise again for her 1 year photos, I took her photos a few months ago when Ricky and Heather moved back to Missouri. With the cold weather we split the session up into two mini ones to get some closer to her birthday. The day we did it we got to go outside for about 10 minutes thanks to the weather being in the teens...felt like a heat wave compared to the negative numbers we have been having. I am so ready to get outside with the kiddos, especially Jax (Ella is still congested and cutting her first tooth YAY!)

My FAVE for sure, I tried something new editing added a little grain, think I am loving it!



Sledding





She loves to play with hair and suck her two middle fingers, too cute!


If your happy and you know it....






She thought she should eat it :)

Shepardson Family

1 quick one to tie over my mother, more from the family soon but here is one of all 21 of us!

Summers Family

OK so this holiday season was by far one of my craziest! This BLOG post is a little (ok a lot) over due, with both kids being sick, 21 people in town celebrating Christmas these last few weeks have been hectic. Now I am back to my daily grind (I hope) of getting ready for spring. I have a ton of samples, products, taxes (yuck), etc... that I am hoping to get accomplished over the next two months! So my blog maybe a little scarce with the negative degree weather over the next two months but I still have a few past shoots to BLOG and some family madness from Christmas!

Here are a few from the Summers family shoot, their mom was wanting some shots of the kids for her Christmas present. It ended up being a pretty decent day considering the middle of December, I love the white snow melting away exposing bright green grass :) only in Missouri! All 3 of the kids were awesome so photogenic and easy to work with. I had a great time photographing them, Enjoy!

Love it!
