I know everyone is dying to see, so I thought I'd throw a few up here. I still have TONS to go through. When I'm done I will put each of yours on your own page and then the team ones on their own page and I'll send you the link!



This first pic is a sample memory mate. This was a quick one I threw together. I am going to put several different ones together, then you can choose your pics and your memory mate design. I can also order preset ones from my lab if ya don't like any I come up with. Not sure if you can tell in this small pic, but that's the 'hand pic' I took in the background of this one.

Standard team pic...

Another variation of the standard team

Just the girls... I did this one with a statuette in mind.
I will bring a statuette I had done @ Christmas time to the next practice so you
can see what I'm talking about. If you like it for a print, it's going to look best with a 5x10 or 10x20 crop.

Anyway, like I said, I have tons to go through. Don't worry about trying to figure out orders or anything yet. When I'm all done, I will give you all the information you need! I just wanted there to be SOMETHING for you to see today:)

It's that time of year again! I did this last fall, but wanted to put it up as an example for any team photography I might do this year. I LOVE making these, and plan to do several different ones this season.

Olivia Smoot! Congrats Olivia, I am looking forward to the shoot! Thanks to everyone who entered! It was a tough decision:) Keep checking back for other opportunities!

Here is Olivia's story:)

Josh and I met by chance two weeks ago. My best friend Cayla is always trying to fix me up with someone, but it never ends up working out. She's always trying to find me the perfect guy that she knows will treat me right and be the guy I've always wanted. It's always been a bust, until now. Josh's best friend Travis just recently started dating Cayla. When Travis mentioned that he had a friend that just recently gotten his heart broken, the light switch turned on in Cayla's head like it always does. She immediately called me. Travis and Cayla decided to set us up on a blind date one evening. We decided we would go get some quick dinner, and make sure it was low key and no pressure. I had never been more nervous to meet someone in my whole life. I had seen him only in a picture, but I thought he was the most gorgeous guy i had ever seen. So one evening the four of us went out to dinner and the boys were supposed to meet Cayla and I in the Greenfield-Central High School parking lot. I sat there in a nervous wreck. I felt like I didn't look very good, my hair was a mess, and i had no make-up on. The day just wasn't going my way. So as Josh and Travis pulled up in Travis' truck, my heart skipped a beat. As I got into the back seat, I glanced at him and I almost melted. He was more gorgeous in person than I could ever have imagined. As the evening went on, we started talking and he really seemed to be an awesome guy. He had the best personality and the most gorgeous smile. So we exchanged numbers and the rest is history. Josh and I are now together and we can't get enough of each other. We're absolutly crazy about each other. Although we've known each other for only a few, short weeks, I can honestly say, it was love at first sight. Josh and I really feel like we deserve this session because the way we met is so unusual. Our two friends fixed us up, when neither of us were even looking for a relationship. We are so happy now that we're together and we really feel like we would be great candidates for this session. Thank You!

Took Makayla and her best friend out today. It was kinda cold, so a lot of the pictures looked too "I'm freezing can we go now", but got a few I really liked!
Tried something new w/ the walls. Thought those were fun.
More on flickr as always!

with my gorgeous daughter!
We just decided to take a walk and shoot whenever we felt like it. Fun day! There are more on my flickr!

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and THANK YOU to everyone who has given me the chance to get this business started this year. I appreciate all of the opportunities to take your pictures and all of the orders you have placed! Thanks again and have a wonderful Holiday! I will be available for sessions again starting after New Years:)

Sorry if I spelled names wrong! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to take your pics this afternoon. I had fun! Lindsey is a doll, and so sweet! Ryan seems like a great kid too. Thanks for being such a good sport Ryan. I'm sure you had better things to do:)
I'm still proofing, but here are a couple of my faves so far!





love the look on his face here! haha

Of course I love these people! It was a lot of fun doing these pics, and they were up for anything I asked them to do. The girls were super cooperative. Here are a few of my faves, but it was SO hard to narrow it down!
Thanks for letting me do these, sis! :)

To my photography blog. This is where I will sneak preview sessions and put up random favorite photos. After a session, I will try to get up a couple of pictures immediately, so that you can get an idea of what's coming. I know how hard it is to wait to see those pictures! Feel free to send family and friends to look as well, but please don't copy or make prints from these files.
Thank you!
