Cupcake Baby Ella

Ella was a doll! I couldn't be happier with her..... She came in to 'model' for the St. Henry Bake Shoppe ad and so I am needing everyones help to pick the best cupcake photo! Also I had to ad these first few too. She is just so stinkin cute!

laura's belly bump- part 2

So there were too many good one I just couldn't choose! Enjoy .....

laura's belly bump

My big sister's gonna be a momma!

I am going to be a aunt!

This is the time when I feel truly blessed to be a photographer. I love taking photos of people in general but nothing can top taking photos for your family. I get to capture great memories but get to make so many more while photographing those memories. We laughed and laughed while figuring out how to capture Laura's belly bump. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun during a session. Plus we also had some great parks and SNow to photograph in. I love the snow. More people should have their pictures taken in the snow.

salt & pepper

I am so in love.... with my awesome new salt and pepper shakers. Yep, when you get older, you love the little things and I love these. I dont even really like fresh ground salt and pepper so they are basically decoration. However, this way they stay clean and cute!

These are taking with just basic window light..... beautiful!

I really like how he is like, "Yo, pay attention to me." but she's like, "Huh? You talking to me?" lol..... Girls Rock!

I think that I was also drawn to how retro they can be. I refuse to let my house get cluttered so I wanted little things that make a big impact!

Ramble Done. :)

kristen- coldwater high school

Kristen came to me for some studio shots and boy, we had fun. Since we were in 4-H together, we both felt comfortable trying out new things and getting some great shots.

Enjoy!

booger- the puppy

This adorable little girl is my friends Rachel's newest addition to their family. We both agree that she needed puppy photos. You can tell we barely got them because her ears are just starting to pucker up.

I had such a great time during this fun but challenging shoot. Booger was not afraid of anything. I honestly think that she thinks she can fly! Well at least fly off of a table but, as you can tell, we captured some great photos in the process.

Such a good puppy! Rachel just started teaching her to sit and Booger is one fast learner. I am also loving this background. It brings the girl out... :)

What cute puppy eyes!

I wanted to try this action out. I love the feel it gave to a photo. I also think that the position of Boogers head and the angle of the shot really made the photo and action work nicely together.

things i love*

As a part of my new years resolution, this is the post for the week. Lets call this week #2. *

Week #2 is all about what I am loving right now.

I love this blog. Knock of wood (http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/) is a amazing. This chick is a rock star and inspiring for every woman. Rachel had introduced it to me a couple of days ago and its been bookmarked and view daily since then. I am going to leave the rest of the details out so you can check the site out for yourselves. Have fun!

Secondly, I love food. I love all kinds but especially deserts. This is my latest creation. It's as great as it's not so great to look at. With a little sugar, karo white corn syrup, peanut butter and corn flakes; you get this amazingly chewy corn flake yumminess. Enjoy!

Lastly, I love my shaggy puppy. I had to take this photo because next week he's going to have eyes yet again. He's going to the groomers. He will see once again. :) I will miss the shag....

Thanks for listening!

andrea + brad

Andrea and Brad are getting in just a few short months. So clearly, we had to get those engagement photos done.

It was a bit cold outside but I am confident that things went well. After my nose unfroze, I was able to view the photos and just loved them.

I really liked the colors of their sweaters and how they mesh with nature. I think that simple is always better and they pulled off these engagement photos beautifully!

Thanks! It was great meeting you!

riley- 1 yr. old

Riley was a great little guy. Happy by nature, he was just a smiling away the whole session. We had so many ideas and was able to try them all out. We did everything for tummys and ties to dad's hat and formals. I know he was ready for a nap by the end of the session!

Thanks!

nathan- coldwater high school

Nathan was my first senior of the year and I had a great time photographing him. He was really patient with me outside in the snow.

I love taking portraits in the winter. I just need to find willing subjects. It's great too for seniors because they get a different look than most of their classmates.

I also tried some new retouching techniques on his photos. Nathan's session really got me excited for the upcoming senior season!

buddy

I am have decided that I needed fun and interesting new year resolutions. There will be no weight-loss promises but something I am going to succeed in! So, I committed myself to picking up my camera at least once a week and shooting something for fun. It cant be a session but something that I am truly interested in.

As you can see, I choose buddy for my first assignment. He's just an easy subject. The results were kinda cool. The second photograph is my favorite. I think that it speaks volumes about his personality. I wanted something different. Different angles. Different looks.

zehringer family 09

It was great getting to photography this family. They were really easy going and in good humor. I want to thank all you girls for this awesome family photo in the snow. Its my favorite in the session and I know you girls feet froze for it! Thanks!
