Am I still taking photos? YES! Do I update my blog very often....ummmm no! I think this #5 boy has dictated my time in a whole new way! The last two years have been a whirlwind of pregnancy sickness and new baby business not to mention the other 4 monkeys. I am completely busy and consumed in peanut butter, homework, cleaning the house, and cooking for a load of boys. I still find time for my favorite hobby so I wanted to post some of my favorites of the last year starting with the Schoonover Family! They were so easy to work with and so "up for anything"! Amazing Family!!

Sweet!

I have had three nights of good sleep in a row.......Life is sweet! Here are some early pictures of our sweet boy~
He is now a healthy 14 lb baby 2 1/2 months old....can you say chub-a-lub??





and one from today of my adorable niece~

My Baby Sis.....

...is having a baby! I think he will be a cutie~



















Stay tuned for more posts from all my work last fall.....

Angelic!

For Bel......

Color Makes me Happy!!

I love all the color that Families are incorporating into family photos lately! It just feels good....ya know?
Hopefully, gone are the days of everyone in matching shirts....(I am guilty of that one...but it was in style at one point, right??)
Here is a sneak peak for some of my clients that LOVE color as much as I do! The cutest kids with the greatest smiles.....
Check out the little one....he was a dream to photograph (well, they all were) but for a little guy he did very well~
Enjoy....hope these will put your mind at ease after our crazy adventure of a photoshoot! I forgot my 2nd card for my camera (never done that before), ran to Allen's to buy one, that one threw a fit on me and we ended up ending the session early! I had to take the card and run a recovery but luckily...everything was there! And I was so glad that it was!! So here are the results.........

I am back....

I Am taking photos...I am just too lazy and big, and tired, and pregnant to actually post them. But I have a few that I was working on tonight and the boys are in bed and I thought "Why Not??" So here are just two that I loved from this cute family session......
Thanks to all of you who still stop by. I have just two months left and I am really on the count down!! And for those of you who don't know.....It's a boy! Number 5! ALL BOYS! Do you think I will survive it??

GOOD NEWS!!

We are expecting a NEW baby in Nov on Thanksgiving day....(How appropriate)! We are all very excited!!
As you might have noticed, my blog is a little behind schedule due to the fact that I have been sick for the
last 13 weeks. I am in my 19th week and I think I am pulling through it but still have bad moments~
As yucky as it has been, I am excited and look forward to finding out what we are having in a few weeks.
Thanks for your continued support and check back in soon for some new photos.....I am trying to get back on
the wagon!!

Winter blues.....

...are looking good on this little doll! With low light we had less than 30 minutes to get these! Ahhhh.....winter! Love it or Hate it, it is moving by. And longer days are on the way....with more light!! It was actually kind of light out this morning when I woke up! Made my day! Thanks for stopping by....Enjoy these~

My Boys.....

Love that I get to spend every day with these two little monkeys! When the 2 older monkeys were at school I bribed these two into letting me take pictures while they jumped on my bed....they couldn't resist!


And we did get plenty of jumping in....




And some wrestling.....(real life at our house)


And a little resting.....Love it!!

I am still here! Just took the holidays off.....

...and I am going to start posting soon! So don't give up on visiting my blog...LOL
Check back real soon!!!!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, BABY!!!

This adorable, sqeezable little sweetie turned 1 yesterday! We had planned to take pictures last week but the whole family came down with the swine flu. Good news is that everyone is back up and going.....and the weather held out for us! (thank you weather!) Just one short year ago we did this little ones newborn photos.....my how time flies! Anyway, I know this mom can't sleep until she sees something.....so now you can go to sleep! Goodnight! And thanks for the fun night!!!

Fall is in the Air!

This was my first session of the year where my beautiful clients wore sweaters and tights and scarfs and all the fabulous
layering that fall allows. I love this time of year! And I love this fabulous client and her family~ They were actually my very first clients! They saw some potential in me.....way back when....and have privileged me with taking their photos ever since. And, it doesn't hurt that they are all just stunning! And I know you hate to wait almost as much as I do....soooo
Here are a few sneak peaks! I just might have to add some more later!

This is a bit of a non traditional look, but I really love how it turned out~

Baby on Board~

Meet my beautiful sister, mother of 2 little girls....and this one is a baby boy! We snapped a few maternity shots just for fun while we were "really" taking photos of the girls...but I loved how these turned out~





I know this one is yellowish....Vintage processing....Like? Don't like?
