Mommy & Me Pictures

There is something so sweet about a photoshoot with just mommy and her son! I just love doing these session! Colleen and Aiden have been clients of mine for a few years and I just loved seeing them and catching up while getting some pictures of them. Check out a few of my favorites!!!

As I was coming over to start their photoshoot, Aiden was sitting like this...I just had to get a picture of him!


Is he not adorable?!?!?!?


Love these two of Colleen and Aiden!


A sweet smile from Aiden!

Arctober FEST!

Arco Lawn Equipment hosts semi-annual customer appreciate days! There are prizes, drawings, activities, food, and great new product demonstrations. I love companies that give back to their wonderful customers!!! Here are some pictures from the October "Arctober Fest..."


This was one of the coolest things I have seen at an Open House...carvings made with a Stihl chainsaw.

Nick & Margaret : Engaged!

I met Margaret last winter when she was in one of my bride's weddings. We definitely hit it off and I was so excited when not long after that wedding, she was engaged. I am so excited for Nick and Margaret's wedding this April!! They are actually my first couple to get married in spring!!! Enjoy a few from their engagement session:

Nick was cracking me up. He truly is a great guy...not to mention with great HAIR! But he would not give me the full smile. But then, it happened! He made me work to get this smile, which makes me even more proud of this picture!


The wonderful couple!


Love this kiss on the banister!




Nick totally set up this picture! Way to go, Nick!


The bling...


Alright, I had two favs of the day for different reasons...so why not have them together as the fav. of the day?? Picture one, I just love the angle of the shot with the water in the background. Picture two, I love how natural they are! Nick is just all focused on Margaret and Margaret looks just gorgeous!


And then came pictures of Sicily!!!


Sicily doing some model work...

The Mueller Family: MY Family!

My husband, Tony, is the most wonderful man I have ever met! And marrying him in 2006, I received the wonderful blessing of another family. The Muellers are truly a blessing beyond words. We all got together to do a Christmas card session. And here are just a few of my favorites!

These are the most important kids in my life! My daughter (the sweet girl on the left), 2 nephews, and 2 nieces; these kids mean the world to me. Love this cousin picture!!!!


Alright, so my brother-in-law, Joe just got a BUS!! LOL! The whole family wanted to do a bus picture...I went along for the ride...and it turned out pretty cute, too. (This picture was crazy to set up since I was in the picture...automatic picture. This was a challenge to get just right. LOL!)


My husband and all his siblings!


Afterwards, we just did Joe and Annie's family pictures. Loved taking their pictures! (Especially since I hadn't taken pictures of them since they were just a family of 4!)


Mara - 5


Robbie - 4



Zeke - 2 1/2


Lily - 6 months


Annie is an AMAZING writer and she needed some pictures for her blog/website/etc. I loved getting a few of my beautiful sister-in-law!

The Sampson Family

I love the Sampsons! And I have gotten to see them a lot these last few months...including the day Kennedy was born, for an infant session, and now for a family session. It was great getting to how fast Kennedy was growing up and her big brother, Carter. Enjoy some favs. from their session.

Talk about an adorable family!


Amber and Kennedy...love me some mommy and baby pictures. And may I say, Kennedy has such gorgeous blue eyes!


Love totally candid pictures...Carter was so mesmerized by the fish in the pond.


Cute Carter...


FAV. of the day!


Sampson Family, I hope to see you guys again soon!

The Mahoney Family 2011

I am blessed to get to photograph the Mahoneys every fall for their Christmas cards. Every year I just loved seeing Marion and how much she has grown! And of course, catching up with Rachelle and Steve is always amazing. Here is their Christmas card session...enjoy!

Sweet Marion is now 4!! I cannot believe how big she is getting!


Mommy and daughter pictures are always a favorite of mine!


Can you tell that she is Daddy's little girl?

And of course, Steve being in the country music business, the whole family has tons of cowboy and cowgirl boots. I was diggin' the red boots!
