37 weeks…

i love donating to good causes & fundraisers. some people do it to get their name out there and some people do it because it makes them feel good. i’m not going to lie; i do it for both, but i really do love donating my services for a good cause!!

i recently donated a gift certificate to a local company for an event they are holding. and that is how this very lovely lady found me! on a side note, turns out that she’s my sister-in-laws boss! didn’t realize it until she asked me why i had a photo of her employee on my family wall

meet nell – a radiating beauty at 37 weeks pregnant:

37 weeks along and looking awesome! we had a great time incorporating her daughter and her soon-to-be step-daughter in the photos. i wish i could take credit for the lipstick idea, however it was all sara! brilliant idea and the girls had so much fun doing it too!

37 weeks…

my friend, Sam, has always told me that one day she’ll find some reason for me to take photos for her. well, the time has finally come and i photographed her beautiful pregnant belly at 37 weeks! we did both indoor and outdoor photos and my favorite ones of the day are, hands down, the outdoor ones. don’t get me wrong, the indoor ones were perfect, but sunset + perfect belly + two happy and anxious parents = the best maternity photos i’ve taken! congrats zach and sam! we love you!

updating the blog!

it’s safe to say that the summer is catching up to me now! wow, it’s been a crazy one. and i am so very thankful for all of my wonderful clients that i have met. it’s been a wonderful summer!

first up, is little baby bryson, 4 days new…

(love, love, love his lips!)

meet travis, a 2011 mcfarland high school senior. he isn’t thrilled with anyone taking his photo, so a very short mini indoor session was just what he needed.

and a photo with his beautiful mom, shari

here is anika and boy, was i jealous of her! 35 weeks and looks absolutely beautiful! 

boy or girl? reese or cole? all these questions for the baby book and the photo to go with it!

i received a phone call from a very familiar voice. it was mark traver, owner of traver graphics ( www.travergraphics.com). i used to talk with him on a weekly basis at my previous job. here is his gorgeous senior daughter, sarah.

miss rya, full of spunk and personality! i love her! this was the second time i’ve had the chance to photograph her and once again, i fell in love with her sweet personality!
