complete...

I intended to post this long ago, but my proofing marathon's have kept me from it. A wonderful Yukon family is in the process of adopting a little girl from Korea - and they need your help! If you get a chance to check out their blog you will for sure be touched with the journey they are on to complete their family. In efforts to raise the last amounts needed to help bring their baby girl home, they are selling some awesome shirts. The first order has just hit cut-off, but they will be placing another order. Adoption is so very near and dear to my heart that I could not resist doing my part to help such a wonderful family. If you would like to help here is the site:

Back to proofing - get ready Caitlin.....your wedding gallery is just about finished :)

cheese....!!!

giving me a super cheesy smile at the water park today.....man, my girl loves summer time!!!! 

i want my daughter to know......

You are unique.

each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. and what do we teach our children?we teach them that two and two makes four, and that paris is the capital of france. when will we also teach them what they are? we should say to each of them: do you know what you are? you are a marvel. you are unique. in all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. you may become shakespeare, a michelangelo, a beethoven. you have the capacity for anything. yes, you are a marvel.

downtown love.....

Cara and Fielding have such a cool style about them. They are totally unique and not afraid to be themselves. They were so full of love and ready to have fun from the get go during our session. We had a blast!

Just loved this shot!!!

These two were so sweet together - totally in love!

Started my day with the coolest couple! They were both so much fun and up to try anything! We made our way around the downtown area and got some super fun shots. The weather was perfectly overcast for us and made for some amazing lighting!!! I was loving life trying out my new 50mm lens (I swear this lens sings - I love it so much) I wanted to get these photos up fast for Cara - who tells my she is a certified blog stalker :) Enjoy your sneak peek Cara and Fielding...we are going to have so much fun at the wedding in September!!! You guys Rock!

collecting.....

I don't think of myself as much of a collector (well, maybe shoes :)....but, after starting to collect antique camera's -I just can't quit picking them up anywhere I find them. Found my latest little treasure while in San Juan...Love this little guy!

her new ride....

just her size :)

checkin' out her wheels....

The lighting is always amazing in the country :) 

Auburn got her new wheels from her Uncle last week, and since then she has spent most of her time riding it. Getting on and off, scooting around all day long. This girl loves to be on the move!  Stay tuned for a sneak peek of a special couple and their engagement photos coming up soon!! 

Littie Miss Mackenzie!

She is the sweetest little girl....

Love those lashes!

Say Cheese!

She was so excited to check out all the park bridges!

Look at those eyes!!!

I loved this shot. You could truly see the love between Mother and Daughter throughout the entire session. 

I had such a fun morning with Mackenzie! It just does not get any cuter than this little sweetie!!! She was adorable in every way.....Dressed in her little tutu and birthday tank top :) She led the way around Will Rogers Park and gave me some of the sweetest expressions I could ever ask for. She makes turning three look like so much fun!!! I am so happy to have photographed her Aunt's engagement photos - and her Uncle's Family recently! Pretty soon I will have photographed the whole family, and happy to do so!!! They are all such kind and loving people....Thanks to Mackenzie's Mom for making the early drive to our session - enjoy your sneak peek :)

Big Sister.....

Hadyn leads Daddy around...

She did soooo well in the butterfly wings - what a doll!

She was on the go!!

Look at that sweet face  - I love this little girl so much! 

I am the luckiest photographer ever.....Back to back Sunday morning sessions with beautiful blue-eyed kids! Meet Hadyn, I have been photographing her since birth and loving every session. She is one of Auburn's best pals - and she is as sweet as can be! They have no idea that they will spend their childhood side by side :) Hadyn's mommy and daddy are so near and dear to my heart, they are like family to us. In just 10 short weeks Hadyn will be a big sister - baby Corbyn will be arriving before we know it. I am already cooking up some new creative ideas for her newborn session. We love you Hammons Family - enjoy your sneak peek!

So excited for tomorrow's family session! Stay tuned for more sneak peeks!

The adorable Patterson Family!

Love this father - son moment....

You know it is the start of a great day when you arrive to a morning session with two adorable little guys! Charter and Collin are two super cute brothers that I just adore!!!! I have had the honor of capturing baby Collin since he was just a few days old, and it is amazing to watch him grow. Can you believe those eyes!!!! They are AMAZING!!! He steals my heart every session. Charter (big brother) has become my little buddy! He keeps me on my toes the entire session, running, chasing, and making me work for every shot. I love it! He was so great today, working with all the props and giving me adorable smiles.....We got to also get in some family shots as well as a few shots of mom and dad without the kids. I just LOVE the Patterson family!!! Thanks Beth for always spreading the love for Art and Soul! You guys are the best!! (thanks for the yummy cookout food today too - It was sooo good)
