two posts in one

Posted on December 22, 2009

In one word, the last few weeks have been crazy! I am finally done with all the edits and the cd’s are out the door. I have no energy left to do separate posts ~ sorry guys! Both of these families were wonderful to work with. I am so blessed with the people I have met doing what I love. Thanks for making my last two sessions so memorable.

a special session with addison

Posted on November 5, 2009

This was a very special session for me. I know Addison’s aunt; she in not only a very dear friend of mine but she is also Griffin’s teacher. Addison is about to turn one and her mom and dad wanted to get some pictures of her and them together. She was also going to have major surgery performed about a week later. One of Addison’s legs was not fully developed when she was born. Her doctors recommended that she have that leg amputated around her first birthday.

Since the surgery date was approaching, her parents wanted me to document what she looked like before her leg was removed. I was deeply touched that they asked me to do this for them. Addison was a bright light. Her smile was contagious and her energy was inspiring. The session was at her home. I love to photograph people in their own elements. I think it makes them more relaxed and you get a better sense for who they are.

I want to thank you, Ryan and Shannon, for asking me to do this for you. Thanks for letting me into your home and letting me do whatever I needed to get the shots I had wanted to try. You have one very special little girl there; but I know you already knew that.

pumpkin patch mini shoot #2

Posted on October 27, 2009

Here are some more pictures from the “mini” session I had out at the pumpkin patch. Jen is a close friend and I always have a blast when I am with her family. She was off chasing some little one while her husband Dale was with me and the kids. As I was trying to take some pictures of Amelia and Aiden, a very nice woman came up to Dale and asked if he wanted her to take a picture of him, his wife and the kids. She assumed I was his wife; that made Dale and I laugh.

Mary is a friend that I have made through my photography. She and Jen are close friends and I have become fast friends with her over the past year. I would of never thought that taking pictures of people would develop into great friendships. Becuase of this, I am so happy I decided to take this journey. Thank’s Mary!
