3 beautiful girlies!

This session wraps up my home town tour, which was AMAZING! I got to shoot all fabulous & beautiful people. I am very lucky to have had so many people interested in my work. I love the challenge it brought (esp. finding locations to shoot at!).

This morning I wrapped up with 3 stunning girls, all 6 years apart (now that mama was thinkin!). We walked all over downtown battle mountain, which was so awesome. I really enjoyed each girl as they all 3 are so very different! Thanks so much Shayne for trusting me to take photos of your crew!




I haven't decided if I'm coming back next summer or not, but if I do I would love to capture all of my new clients & old friends again!

Skylarr

Miss Skylarr met up with me tonight on the eve of a nasty storm. It was the perfect set up for a photographer because the light was perfect! No nasty sun rays to fight (my nemesis). Sky's mommy, Virginia was worried about how missy was going to act, well let me tell you, I have this little girls back! She was PERFECT! An angle to say the least! I was also super excited to meet this little princess... and I think one of my old high school mates has done a darn good job on this little girlie. Thanks for driving over and hooking up with me virginia.. I'm in love with your girl!

Family

I was originally supposed to do Amy's sisters family for these photographs, but because of travel & work issues I was able to do Amy! Her kids are a gem to work with, first of all because they're so much older that they just sit there & do whatever you tell them to do! Secondly, they're season models. Yep- they've been in front of cameras most of their lives. In fact you can even see them on the big screen! I was a little intimidated wondering if my little hobby as a photographer was going to be shut down because these guys are so good, but I think they turned out WONDERFUL! I hope they love them as much as I do. Thank you so much Amy & crew for trusting your family photos to me!

John

John was the last of my sessions in Winnemucca last night. He was the cutest thing ever. He had such personality & you wouldn't believe that he wasn't 2 yet. He was able to talk & talk & talk. And for a less than 2 year old he sure did exactly what I told him too. His mama was so awesome to just let me & John play. And I think John liked that. His mom wanted some funky & up close shots, I hope she's really happy with how they turned out! I sure am! Thanks for trusting me with your little guys shots Jenny!

Noah & Ava

Noah & Ava came to visit me on my recent trip to Winnemucca Nevada. I had the opportunity to photograph them in their moms friend Katie's yard. It was so awesome to have the opportunity to get to know these 2. Noah is such an amazing lil guy, going into kindergarten and absolutely in love with science. This kid is going to make huge strides in what he does in his life. I can see genius already. Miss Ava was the sweetest little things, and the look on her face made me melt. She has the most gorgeous eyes.
These 2 kids were troopers! In the heat of the day, not once did they complain. They just kept chuggin along, playing the game with me.

Thanks mama S for sharing your darling little ones with me, I hope I have the oppourtunity to capture them again 1 day!

Katie

Miss Katie had me so excited to take pics of her little man Martin! She kept saying she hoped he cooperated! She was so frustrated after the session last night, but I think she'll really love how the pictures turned out. Martin is a lil man who has lots to say, and there wasn't a moment that I spent with him that I didn't have a smile on my face. I loved EVERY instant with this dude.

Katie lined up a couple of her friends to take photos too, the first which started in her yard. This girl has the most BEAUTIFUL yard, EVER. I love it.

Thank you so much Katie for trusting me to take pictures of your family. I really hope you love the outcome, because I think they turned out GREAT!

PS. When I showed up at katies house, her MOM was there! Her mom was my 3rd grade teacher... It brought up all sorts of memories, like the time I got sent out for something & the time she sent me to the principals office:) It was SO good to see you Rosita! (can I call my teacher by her first name?)

Freeman & Newkirk families

I was really looking forward to this session in my hometown groupings! Jimi went to school with my older brother, but she was always one of the girls who "liked" me too, even though I was the younger bratty sister! This session was a BLAST! I only wished we had about 2 more hours and a little more time with happy kids, although they did great.

Again, this session was a total "blast from the past!" And I was also able to have a really great chat with jimi after the session. Thanks for the ride guys & thanks for the great shots! You guys were wonderful.

Here is a couple more I didn't add on facebook yet!

Shane & Mara are gettin MARRIED!

I am hanging out in my small hometown of Battle Mountain, Nevada this week. And I'm SO thrilled because when people found out I was coming home they instantly wanted some photos taken!

Today was my first session, and I adored my time with these 3! I went to school with Shane & Mara, in fact I have more then 1 memory with these guys. I used to play with Mara as a kid and in high school I cruised a few times with Shane and the Tolbert boy!

After a life that took them both in different directions, these 2 have come together and are getting married. Of course when I work with my clients I love to ask them about 'their' story. Shane & Mara's story is C-U-T-E! In fact they admitted to me that when they lived only houses away from each other as children once in a while they'd steal a kiss from each other. Isn't this a match made in heaven?

I loved my time with you guys today Shane & Mara. And miss Kylee is SO cute! You guys are great & my wish for you is a life filled with love & laughter never ending. Thanks for trusting me with your adorable family.

Look at Shane in the above photo, HE ADORES HER!!!

Baby Ayden

Sweet baby Ayden was in the "studio" today! And was he EVER a GEM! This baby is the sweetest ever! Thank you mama C & Daddy R for trusting me to capture those first squishy baby looks!

For Jacks!

I posted a bunch of these babies on my facebook, but so miss Abi and her mama could enjoy the sneak peek, I'm doing the same here! Thank you guys so much for allowing me to share Abi's 10th DANCE party birthday with you. I hope you love the pictures as much as I do!

baby Ayden's mommy & daddy are gettin married!

Meet Mommy C! Isn't she just the most adorable pregnant girl ever? I swear she makes me want to have a few more!

Meet the daddy! I think he's so in love with his little guy & can't wait to meet him!
Look at the finger- THE RING finger! Do you see anything?
Look what daddy pulled off with out Mommy even knowing! He threw the most adorable loop into our session today! My heart was racing & my eyes were tearing up as I was snapping the pics!

Now look at that finger! Yep, thats right, dad did a GREAT job!

Baby Ayden is 1 lucky boy! I can't wait for his newborn shots!

~Todd & kelly

These 2 joined me in taking their photos this spring It was actually a lot of fun. I'm enjoying editing their photos with some different ideas i have! I think they'll like that I've come up with!

On this lens flare one, I used a new action i just downloaded from coffeshop! I think i like how it turned out, I just hope they do to!

Last but not least- Meet cowboy! The coolest dog EVER!!!!
