Hello! It's been a long while. . .

2011-11-13T22:20:00.009-06:00

So, I am horrible at keeping up with this blog. I do my sneak peeks in private galleries on my website, so I have really been slacking on keeping up with my blog. I'm hoping to post here and there, especially since I've spruced up this old blog. This year autumn has been extremely busy much more than in the past. The weather has been gorgeous, so I've been able to squeeze in sessions into the month of November. Here are some faves from this beautiful fall season. I have many more to post at a later date.

2009-12-21T19:20:00.002-06:00

I have been swamped this Holiday Season! I posted my sneak peeks on my website in private galleries. Sorry. :o) I promise I will update soon. To see more of my work please check out my website

Aliza

2009-10-14T22:48:00.000-05:00

My husband's family came for a visit from IN, so we snuck in another photo session. Miss Aliza is almost three months old already. Note to self : she does not like wearing hats or headbands. :o) However, she did keep one on for a few minutes. The cute red bow came from Born 2 Impress.

Cutie patootie {K}

2009-10-14T20:28:00.008-05:00

This cutie pie was so smiley. All I had to do was growl at him. :o) (No, I don't typically growl at babies but mama gave me a tip beforehand. {K} loves when you growl at him.) I was a little hoarse afterwards. I'm a little rusty at growling. We had a blast!

Little man {A}

2009-10-14T20:12:00.004-05:00

Ok - this little guy is so stinking cute!! He is seven months old. I love his two little teeth and the dimple on his chin. :o) You can find his newborn pics here and 3 month pics here. I was testing out a new prop, and I think I really like it. I'm hoping to try out some vintage textures with the barrel soon.

how cute that he sucks his two fingers :o)

PJ

2009-10-13T22:28:00.000-05:00

I photographed this little one as a newborn, and she recently came back for her three month pics. She also modeled some cute headbands from Born 2 Impress. Check out Jennifer's adorable infant and children's accessories here. :o)

Senior {N}

2009-10-13T22:24:00.001-05:00

This senior was so much fun! She's a natural in front of the camera. She had so many great ones, it's making my job tough. :o)

Miss {T}

2009-10-13T21:29:00.004-05:00

This is my beautiful niece. She recently celebrated her ninth birthday! I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday when she was just a bright eyed little biddy. :o)

Senior {T}

2009-10-13T20:51:00.006-05:00

This senior was super excited to have his portrait session at the airport. He was even more excited when a leer jet flew in just in time for more pics. ;o) I still get to shoot some studio shots when this busy senior can squeeze me in.

Oops. . .

2009-10-10T15:14:00.002-05:00

I've been super busy, and my editing software zonked out on me two weeks ago. :o( I couldn't find the disk to reinstall it because I put it in a "safe" place, so my destructive toddler couldn't get it. Well, after transferring everything onto my old computer (that still has my software) and working on a slower than a snail's pace laptop I finally found my disk. Hooray! Full speed ahead! My recents sessions are next. :o)

Aliza

2009-09-14T20:58:00.009-05:00

I recently took a quick trip home to IN for some family stuff. I thought I'd go ahead and take my equipment with just in case I got to see my new niece. Well, here she is at seven weeks. She has beautiful blue eyes and a cute little round face. :o)

busy bee . . .

2009-08-08T17:21:00.013-05:00

This little one is such a stunner and has the most unique eye color. We had a blast! Miss {B} is seven months old, and I'm pretty sure she will be walking very soon. ;o)

Update: This little one did just take her first steps at only 7 months old. Wow!

This little man and his baby brother were a hoot. :o)

I just love this one of baby {E}. He was five months old and had lots of chub. :o)

I had a session with Miss {L} and Baby {L}. They were so cute!

Miss {N} - I have been doing this gal's photos since she was in her mama's tummy. She just turned one, and I can't believe it! She just took her first step, too. :o)

Soooo big!

This sweet gal was five months old. She was so smiley!

Miss {P}

2009-07-12T15:35:00.007-05:00

This sweetheart was just shy of two weeks old. What a doll!!

Miss {R}

2009-07-11T12:24:00.005-05:00

This sweet little newborn was just nine days old. She was wide awake, but dozed off for a few sleepy pics. :o) I love her spiky hair. :o)

Sneak Peek for {J}

2009-07-05T16:14:00.004-05:00

I recently photographed this beautiful family. What adorable little girls! Here is a little sneak peek.

Miss M.

2009-06-30T22:02:00.009-05:00

I had the pleasure of photographing my dear friend's little girl for her second birthday. She is an absolute doll. :o)

Maternity x two

2009-06-22T20:48:00.007-05:00

These best buds are due only one day apart. How neat is that? Tara is my beautiful sister-in-law and Angie is her gorgeous pal and family friend. I photographed these two back home in IN while visiting family. I can't wait to meet my new niece. :o)

Tara

Angie and her peanut (it's a surprise)

Sir Cutie Patootie

2009-06-14T17:53:00.005-05:00

I photographed this three month old little man when he just days old. It's amazing how quickly they change. What an adorable little guy! He was so sleepy. He zonked right out on us. Luckily, we'd gotten some good shots in before then. :o)

Sam I am - so soft and sweet. . .

2009-06-14T14:23:00.003-05:00

I was so fortunate to get the chance to capture this sweet baby boy at just four days old. Thanks Libby! It took awhile to get him asleep, but it was well worth the wait. I just love, love, love everything about newborn babies.

The W. Family

2009-06-14T12:25:00.008-05:00

I met this wonderful family through a dear friend. They were great even though the weather was hot and steamy. We were lucky we didn't melt. :o) I loved the location, Pickney Park, too.

Miss I.

2009-05-20T08:26:00.006-05:00

Here's the cutie Miss I. We had a blast! She is getting ready to celebrate her first birthday. :o)

A fun day at the park.

2009-04-28T20:19:00.003-05:00

Aiden and I had a great walk downtown last week then went to the park. I took pics for some projects I'm working on. The orange page is from his Easter pics. For being a photographer's son he is quite the little devil. (not one smile in the whole bunch of Easter photos)

Sweet as can be . . .

2009-04-25T14:00:00.006-05:00

Here's a sneak peek of little Miss G. I think she is the most awake five day old I've ever seen. I can't wait to do some more of this cutie pie. :o)

Sneak peek for Miss B.

2009-04-24T19:09:00.007-05:00

I took three month pics of the cutie Miss B. She is an active and adorable gal. Here's some of my faves.

Playing catchup :o)

2009-04-06T22:08:00.011-05:00

I've been swamped with work, family and everything in between. Here's some faves from some of my most recent sessions.

Here's your sneak peak Laduke family. You have a great family, and your little ones are absolute dolls.

Here's the sweet Miss N. She's a regular on this blog. :o)

This is the handsome Mr. K. We had so much fun making silly faces and goofy noises.
This is a sweet new little one. He was just nine days old. I love shooting newborn sessions. I keep adding to my newborn props. I can wait to use some soon. :o)
This is Miss N. She's modeling diaper fora friend who just started selling her diapers online. Here's her link.

I snuck this sweetie away to do a surprise gift for her mom to celebrate her adoption. Her family is wonderful. Her mom is one of my dear friends.
Have I ever told you how hard it is to get a picture of three kiddos all looking at the camera? These little monkeys were a hoot to shoot.
This is the sweet Miss G. I just love her red hair. She was such a sweetheart!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

2009-03-13T11:53:00.002-05:00

I've been transferring images from my old computer to my new computer. I have some cute photos to add soon. Here's a couple St. Patty's pages for now.

The photos in the second scrap page were taken by a fabulous photographer, Sarah Long of Joyful Photography. She specializes in using natural light, and is amazing! I just love these photos!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

2009-02-14T17:33:00.004-06:00

Sorry, I've been neglecting my blog. I promise to have some new photos up soon. Here's a card from Aiden until then.

These pics were taken by Sara Long of Joful Photography. I love them!

I love scrapblog.com!

2009-01-25T12:16:00.007-06:00

I love making these digital pages. They are so easy! Try it out. www.scrapblog.com

My sweet, Aiden

2009-01-01T12:13:00.008-06:00

I realize I do not have one photo of my little one on here. It is much harder to photograph him now that he's become a rambunctious toddler. Here's a bunch starting with the most recent to day one. :o)

"The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be another child like him."

Tis the season . . . to be busy

2008-12-10T23:21:00.014-06:00

Wow! I have been swamped with sessions. I've been prepping to get ready to get back in the photography biz again. I've mainly been photographing for friends since I moved here to Kansas. Well, here's to a great start. Ready or not. . .

These are photos of my good friend Tasha and her son Kian. He is such a polite little boy. I had a great time.

I had the pleasure of doing a huge shoot for a family who has taken two individuals with developmental disabilities in to live with them, through the EFT program at CLO. I'm posting pics of just the kids for privacy reasons. What a giving family! Thanks Madi, Sophie & Legend :o)

This is Miss Nora. I said you'd see her around here quite a bit. :o)

The Seagers are such a great family. Phoebe is a doll, and Kristen is a sweetheart. Scott- you're not too shabby either. Sorry, didn't want to leave you out. ;o)

These are of my sweet friend Dorothy's granddaughter, Bailey. She is a delightful little girl and so thoughtful of others.

This is the Maack family. We got some great family shots in before bedtime. :o)

Elizabeth, I'm going to have to put you on my payroll. ;o) These are friends of Elizabeth's. They have an adorable baby named Isabelle. She was such a great subject. These are more members of the Miller clan. Thanks Elizabeth for the referral. These two cuties were a hoot to photograph. Snacks anyone? ;o)

A dear friend had me take some pics of their sweet little girl Ember and a few family shots.

Nora's Christening

2008-12-06T09:08:00.009-06:00

Well, the Miller family has officially chosen me to be their family photographer. Elizabeth is a dear friend, and I just love taking little Nora's pictures. The gown Nora is wearing is eighty years old and has been worn by most of the Miller clan. I'm sure you'll be seeing Nora quite a bit on my blog. Here's a few of my faves. . .

Kati W

2008-12-06T01:31:00.015-06:00

I took senior photos of the sporty Kati W this summer. We had a fabulous location right in her back yard. She was great! Here are some of my faves. . .

Quentin B

2008-12-06T00:50:00.020-06:00

I was lucky enough to take senior portraits of the beautiful Quentin B. We battled the wind, but it was a beautiful Autumn day. These are just a fraction of what I shot. What can I say? The camera loves her and she loves the camera. :o) I had a great time and she is so photogenic.

The Millers

2008-08-19T23:24:00.028-05:00

Here's my first posting of pics. My friend Elizabeth let me photograph her maternity session and her sweet newborn daughter Nora at only eleven days old. I love how they turned out. Here are my faves . . .

Welcome :o)

2008-08-19T15:47:00.002-05:00

I am officially starting a blog for my photography. I started as a photographer nearly eight years ago. I worked for a studio and mainly photographed weddings. I then became the studio photographer, while the owner opened a second location. I moved to Kansas in 2005 and have done some work on the side for friends and family ever since. Now that I'm a mother I want to start spending more time focusing on my photography.

I love shooting maternity, infant and children's photography. I still photograph weddings occasionally. I love outdoor photography, but I also love shooting indoors with backdrops and props. I will be posting some of my favorite photos soon.

About me: I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Eric. We've been together for thirteen years, married for four. In May 2007 we welcomed a sweet baby boy named Aiden into our lives. He captured my heart with his beautiful blues and mischievous grin.
I love spending time with friends and family. I love traveling, scrapbooking, shopping, and of course, spending time with my little guy. Well, that's me in a nutshell. :o)
