I cannot believe I used to teach these kids in elementary school! Surely I'm not THAT old?? It was such a pleasure to see this family again and catch up on how life has progressed since we last saw each other. Thank you for thinking of me to capture your family!

Chaney Family
Love this family! They came to us this year on "the farm" and we found some good fall spots. Greg even got out the infamous slide whistle! It just wouldn't be the same without it. :) We enjoy you guys so much. It's such a blessing to capture your family's pictures each year!
Julie + LC
Julie has been my dental hygienist for 10 years, maybe. She's the reason I drive to Lewisville and don't find another dentist closer! I was honored that she and LC asked me to capture their wedding. You two are an amazing couple and I am blessed to know you both! May the Lord bless your new marriage!

Heaton Cousins
These two boys were beyond precious! I have never been able to direct a 2-year old to "sit here" and "put your back here". . . And both were all smiles! It is always a pleasure to have returning clients - to see how the kids are growing and being able to keep up with families. Even if it is just once a year. What a privilege and a pleasure!

Lewis Family
This cutie pie is all about the hat...and he had spurs to match! I've had the privilege of watching him grow due to the fact that his mom and I have been long-time friends since middle school. Oh, the good old days....NOT! Anyway, it's neat to remember the times we would all plan and dream of what our lives would look like and now to be able to share in them. What a blessing!

McBee Family
What a beautiful day we had - cloudy, low 80s; and of course there was wind...story of my photography life. I LOVE the colors they chose and these girls were a lot of fun. There was a bit of bribing which involved silly string...you just never know what's gonna work with kids! And it really doesn't matter as long as SOMEthing does! Gorgeous, gorgeous girls.... Thanks for choosing me to capture your family!
October 2011 Mini-Sesions
We had a great day for pictures and a good time doing them!
It is always fun to see personalities shine through during a photo session...they always do!
I'm thinking...Charlie's Angels...shoulda had them do that pose too!
The twins...
The big sisters. They were so patient!
Precious, precious!

Tails of Adventure
So, life has been what I would call interesting these past few weeks. Not easy, especially for my in-laws who are dealing with ailments and my husband and his sister who are juggling them. But we are blessed with a side a humor that not many have, thanks especially to my husband. I knew it when I first met him; that his humor would be the tie that binds us & keeps me sane. But his was not the only humor to be enjoyed during these stress-filled weeks. It also involved these 4 stinkers. Here's a breakdown of my 2 weeks with them:
1. The first 2 days are enjoyable with watching the "cousin dogs" play. Daisy & Rocky are PaPa's dogs.
2. Once PaPa leaves to stay elsewhere for a while Rocky becomes depressed & begins growling at the children. He's out. Moma bear rules. Let the insanity commence.
3. The 3-4th afternoon we return to the laundry room strewn with small pieces of a folded up queen-size air mattress.
4.The next afternoon we are greeted in the same place with a destroyed Kirby vacuum. Some of you can especially appreciate what exactly that means.
5. The first night PaPa is gone, as usual we let the dogs out before bed and when we return to retrieve them, I see them roaming in the cow field. With the cows. And the bull. And the coyotes. Of course Greg is at work. And I'm out. I don't do bulls & coyotes.
6. After much prayer & a surprisingly good night's sleep not knowing if my father-in-law's "babies" would return, they miraculously did - right at the front door. Whew! Praise God!
7. Now that these 2 know how to get out (I guess our 2 were just cheering them on?), they enjoy the adventure and so continue to do so off and on until we acquire 2 dog kennels after some desperate pleading of our church family. Thank you Kathy, Gene, Bill & Lorie!
8. The toots are no longer allowed outside alone so we must watch them like a guard watches prisoners in the yard. Not at all convenient, but necessary none-the-less.
9. This strategy still is not fool-proof (guess I'm the fool) and yet again they go. And go. And they go so far that I just let them. Of course Greg is at work. Thankfully a man calls Ken who calls me and I get to pick them both up in the neighborhood around the corner, with kids in p.j.s and all.
9. Alas, 2 weeks is over, the last morning has arrived. Now all left to do is let them pee, put them up, take the kids to school, & they'd be on their way home by 4 p.m. But apparently by now 10 minutes is too long to let them alone in their now perfected knowledge of fence-escaping. Greg, of course, is at work. They go, man-rescuer calls PaPa, PaPa calls me, I leave, Greg comes, Greg calls man, Greg picks up dogs. Later dogs go home. We all breath a sigh of relief.
10. Now I have a long, funny story to tell others. See, good CAN come from all things!
(I didn't have the room to include the embarrassing dog-retrieval from the yard of our landlord, the chewed-through leashes I used to try and tie them up, & the unfortunate fall of my mother-in-law ensuing a broken leg. But I digress.)

Avery Burns...is turning 5!
Avery is turning 5! And to commemorate this special birthday her mom wanted to capture what is important in her life right now - listen up parents, follow suit! Avery has been taking riding lessons and is such a cowgirl now! Here is one of the many, many (I mean...so..., so... many) shots we got of her showing us her stuff. It was so much fun and I am so appreciative to have been asked to be the photographer chosen to capture this sweet girl. She was so...so... patient and did all we asked for a lot longer than most almost-5-year-olds! Happy birthday Avery! (Also in the picture - Abby's rear) :)
