W&J {Married}

2010-08-04T11:01:00.000-05:00

Congrats to this sweet couple! I've got a ton of photos to edit, but I wanted to post a few for them to see. Their wedding was so sweet and fun! I love everything they did. I hope you all enjoy your pics!

Johnny {Senior 2010}

2010-04-29T10:42:00.003-05:00

This was my first shoot in a new town! It was a lot of fun discovering new places to take his pictures. There were so many good ones, it was so difficult to narrow these down. Take a look at that killer smile, such an easy guy to photograph! Congrats Johnny!

E&B {Engagement}

2010-04-29T10:40:00.003-05:00

I can not wait for this couples wedding in a few short weeks. You can just tell how in love they are! They are brave for walking around downtown for an hour with a very pregnant photographer! Here are my favorites from there session, there were a lot more!

One More...B&M Together

2009-09-11T08:00:00.001-05:00

Since the last 2 seniors I posted about are "sisters" we did a few shots together. I really love some of these shots!

M- Senior 09

2009-09-10T08:00:00.002-05:00

Meet M, she is from Honduras. Her Dad is a preacher there and her parents do amazing things there. They wanted to make sure she got a good education so she lives with my cousin B and her family (the SR. from yesterday)! We were jokingly saying that these could go into her Honduran Modeling Portfolio, she was such a natural.

B-Senior 09

2009-09-09T08:00:00.000-05:00

Meet my cousin B, isn't she just beautiful? We met up to take her Senior pics downtown, and had so much fun!

C-18 Months

2009-09-08T02:10:00.001-05:00

This is my one and only baby! Except he has hit that point where he doesn't look like a baby anymore and looks like a little boy. It's sad, but so much fun at the same time. For having a mom for a photographer he does pretty well for "important" age pictures. I've always got a camera in his face. I'm sure he's had more pictures taken at 18 months then most people have in 90 years!

S Family

2009-09-04T19:44:00.001-05:00

This family was so sweet. We met up to take their youngest daughter's 3 month pictures, but we squeezed in a few of all of them. The little 3 month old was all smiles through her 4 outfit changes, she was such a trooper!

J- 4 Year shoot

2009-09-04T19:02:00.003-05:00

I became friends with J's mom this year, so I was thrilled that she wanted me to take his 4 year pictures. He has so much energy and spunk, so many faces. I guess it is what I have to look forward to when my baby gets a little older.

Below is a new photoshop action I tried out, I thought it was perfect for the location.

A- Senior

2009-08-22T08:00:00.000-05:00

I had back to back Senior shoots. This girl, I can't believe she is a Senior. I used to babysit her. That makes me feel so old! She's turned into a lovely girl, and I couldn't be more proud of her! I've never had anyone want to shoot around downtown OKC, so she was willing. We spent a couple of hours walking and driving around looking for spots. We had a blast, congrats A!

I got the idea below from some other photographers, I couldn't be happier how it turned out!

D- Senior

2009-08-20T20:36:00.003-05:00

I have known this family for years, and they always take care of my little boy. So I was more then happy to do their youngest boy's Senior pictures. My husband also happend to coach him in basketball a couple of years ago. He is a very talented basketball player, and this past year won state in soccer. So we had to play on that a little bit!

Mama K

2009-08-01T08:00:00.000-05:00

I am so excited for this couple, they royally spoil my son, so soon I'll royally be spoiling their little girl! We tried out some new spots and new shots, they were such good sports about it! Thanks! Congrats and can't wait to meet Baby O!

Baby J- 1 Month

2009-07-26T12:00:00.000-05:00

Baby J has grown so much since he was born, he is quit the squirmer, he wouldn't lay still at all, so you work with what you can get. He got fussy toward the end so we had to stop! He's always so alert for his camera time!

The G Family

2009-07-19T08:00:00.002-05:00

I met this family down at the Myriad Gardens. We met at 9:30 a.m.; I think it was already pushing 90 degrees, but they were great sports as we walked all over the place looking for spots to take pictures. The youngest boy was so full of energy, I loved all the cousin pictures!

The E Grandkids

2009-07-15T08:38:00.004-05:00

I have known this family forever, and all they wanted was 1 good picture of all the kids, well it was super hot and we squeezed this in after dinner and before church the day I left for vacation, they were all happy with it, so it's all you can ask!

and this is about how they really felt about getting their picture taken:

After church I grabbed the whole family after the oldest grandkid was baptized, since they were all there we took a few quick shots of everyone, this was the best one! That's a lot of people!

Mom M

2009-07-06T08:00:00.001-05:00

I was really honored when a fellow photographer and friend asked me to do a quick photo shoot with her daughter and daughter to be. They are such a photogenic pair! However, I've got a feeling the little one is going to give mom a run for her money when the baby comes along! Can't wait to meet the little one coming soon!

Is that sign not perfect? The only bad thing about it is the horrible ugly light in the doorway. But we made it work!

Little W

2009-07-01T22:59:00.004-05:00

This little guy was so great during his 6 month photoshoot. He made so many great expressions, I had such a hard time narrowing his pics down for his parents. I'll be going on vacation tomorrow, but I have a lot of posting to catch up on and a few more things coming up! Enjoy!

Little A

2009-06-21T16:55:00.004-05:00

I finally finished editing hundreds of this girls photos. She has so many different expressions is was so hard to narrow them all down. She was a ball full of energy, and when she was done taking pictures, she sure let me know! For it being such a hot and windy evening, she did such a great job! Here are just a few of my favorites.

Wine, Women, and Shoes

2009-06-20T09:41:00.004-05:00

This was a Make A Wish foundation event at Gallardia. A wine tasting, shopping, auction, and fashion show. It was a beautiful event, click here to see more pictures, here are just a few of my favorite details!

The W Family

2009-06-11T16:12:00.004-05:00

This was the sweetest family and they picked one of my favorite local spots to take pictures at. It was so incredibly windy, but they were all so patient! I think we got some great ones!

Baby J- Newborn

2009-06-06T07:57:00.005-05:00

This little guy is so little. For being about 1 month early he really looks pretty good! We just took a few shots of him today, and we'll do more when he turns 1 month. He's a cousin, so I hope he's ready to model for me for the rest of his young life, cause that's what he'll be doing!

The D Family

2009-06-02T08:17:00.006-05:00

This family was so sweet, the little girl was so funny, she wanted to take pictures by everything, which makes my job super easy! They had so many good ones; the shoot was so hard to edit. They will have a ton of pics to choose from. I'm so glad I got to meet you all, and I hope you like a few of the pics!

J & R Belly Shoot

2009-05-30T08:00:00.001-05:00

These are my dear cousins and friends, we had their photo shoot scheduled for downtown next Friday. The baby was scheduled to come on July 2nd....but surprise she called me Tuesday and was in labor. They wanted her to progress on her own so we squeezed in a quick photo shoot while she was in labor, what a trooper. I figured it would be better then sitting in a hospital bed and Baby J was born the next day, and he is healthy! So next Friday instead of a maternity shoot, we'll be doing a newborn shoot! So look for those soon!

C Scouting Shoot

2009-05-29T16:14:00.002-05:00

You'll see this guy a lot, he's my little one, and if I do say so myself, the cutest kid ever. We went to a location where I'm shooting tomorrow, so I snapped a few of him. Now I'm really exciting about shooting there tomorrow!

G & K- The Wedding

2009-05-29T10:46:00.000-05:00

This couple is so sweet, and so in love! We had a great time at their wedding in Shawnee. Her dress was so beautiful! Here are a couple of my favorite shots!
