When I was just starting out in photography I would spend hours and hours on the internet trying to learn as much as I could as fast as I could. I still do that… But one of the few websites that has stuck with me and that I continue to visit is DPS. It has such a wealth of knowledge for both the beginner and professional. I get lots of emails asking me for advice and I often refer people to this blog. It’s great! So go check it out!

Um, I can’t believe I just did this! Look what I just bought… Been wanting this bad boy for awhile now and I finally got the nerve to take the plunge. Wow! She’ll be here in a few days. Yipee!

I took the pups outside to snap some shots of them this afternoon. They love to frolick (got that word from my hubby) around the yard and they LOVE to run. It’s so cute how they chase each other around. They just jet off as fast as their little weenie legs will carry them and run circles in the yard. I love to watch them. Well, after a few laps around I caught Lexi doing this… Don’t know what she thought she was digging up or where she thought she was going but I found it absolutely hilarious.

This past weekend I got to spend some time with this sweet little newborn. She ALMOST makes me want one. Almost…. She has got to be the cutest baby ever though. We took some shots, I had a feeding break, we took some more shots, she had a feeding break, then tried to take some more shots. But Miss Averi didn’t want any part of it. So we’ll probably be doing another shoot sometime soon. Lol!

I just love little baby feet!

Can you tell she didn’t like my basket? Still love this shot though.


How sweet is her innocent little grin in this one?

You might remember Brandi from her and Parker’s engagement session. Today I got to take her bridal portraits. Normally I don’t post these to the blog until after the wedding but she gave me special permission so I gladly obliged! Thanks Brandi! You looked beautiful today and I can’t wait for your wedding in December. Enjoy your sneak peek…











And here are some shots Brandi’s mom took of me. Lol!

See, awesome details!



I thought this little note the bride’s sister left was so cute!
