The .K. Kids

Energy. That's all I have to say to describe these two little critters. They are so sweet and SO energetic! I am pretty sure these boys were about the most excited subjects I have had in a while. Byron loved having his picture taken and was smiling ear to ear just about the whole time. He even held my hand in between shots! I think I have new best friend. And little Ayden, well he's a heart breaker... OH MY! I had a great time on this little mini-session with these kids and they reminded me of why I love doing photography so much. I really do get to hang out with some amazing people every time I take my camera out of my bag!

Hauser Community Church

I love my church. I love the people and the friends that I have made there over the past five years and if I were ever to pick a group of people to fellowship with in lieu of my childhood church congregation the people at Hauser Community Church would be second to none. I really enjoy using my gifts to give back to my community so doing some updated head shots of the pastors and staff at HCC was my pleasure! I am envisioning a whole wall display of these images near the foyer of the church as a "get to know us" corner where newcomers and members can become familiar with the faces that lead the church with diligence and grace. While I know head shots are a necessary evil (I just had mine done a couple of weeks ago) these guys really do well in front of the camera!

Alphabet Photography

I recently saw this idea for Alphabet photography and I was excited to work on it as a little side project. The goal is to capture the alphabet in and amongst everyday life and then you can make family name art and endless other possibilities. So here are the beginnings of my alphabet... I'll let you guess what letters are represented :0)

Matthew {9 Days}

Nope, they don't come any cuter! Matthew is an adorable nine day old little guy who is blessed to have two awesome parents. I had a wonderful time with Karen and Kevin while they snuggled, swaddled and shushed him to sleep for our session. The session itself took a while but it was well worth the time to get to spend an afternoon with this beautiful family, capturing a few shots of little Matthew! Ug! To think my Bear was JUST there five months ago... unbelievable! Thanks Karen and Kevin for sharing him with me :0)

The .P. Family

We'd past each other at church I don't know how many times, exchanging a pleasant hello but for whatever reason the P family and I had never really got to know each other. As I walked into their beautiful home I was warmly greeted by little Devin and her two dogs. Then I walked around the corner and I saw one of the biggest Elk head mounts I had ever seen and immediately I thought to myself "Why don't I know these people better!??". They just seem like the type of people that Levi and I would get along with, the guys could talk hunting, the girls could scrapbook and the kids could play. That is part of the amazing blessing that God has brought to me through photography! People that I would otherwise have been to "shy" to jump out and strike up conversation with meet me behind my camera, where I am comfortable. The P family is super sweet, mellow and their home had such an inviting and loving feel to it (along with some awesome window lighting :0). Thanks so much for the opportunity to get to know you all better!!

Oh and this last one is for Adam :0)
