Miss Livvy Part2

Okay I have had such an amazing response to these senior pictures in emails, phone calls, and blog comments. Thank you so much for all your kind words. Also Miss Livvy must be a pretty popular girl because I had 300 plus hits on my blog yesterday--yeah! Unless they were all from Carol--ha ha! So here are a few more of my favorites.

Enjoy and don't forget to click on them to see them bigger.

My new blog is done I am just putting some finishing touches on it. I hope to have everything switched over soon!

Livvy

Livvy has been riding since she was little and Robby means a lot to her and her family. What a beautiful horse.




See the ring Livvy is wearing here. It was her grandma's ring. Carol this shot is especially for you.



I just love this image. There was just enought water (and mud and dead fish) to give this amazing reflection. Love it!


Here Livvy with her sister. I only hope my girls get along this well when they are older.



This might be my favorite image from the day--who am I kidding. I have several favorites. She looks just stunning here though.



How fun is she! If you click on any of the images you can see them larger.

I had a blast this morning with Miss Livvy, her big sister, and mom. I was not sure that I wanted to get into senior portraits and can I tell you how happy I have. It is fun to have some variety in my work and seniors are so much fun!

Miss Livvy is just stunning! I have sooo many images to edit and share. I am thinking there might have to be a part two to this post.

Seniors

I just had the best high school senior session today and cannot wait to post some images. I wanted to pop on here quick to say "hi" and let you know I have not disappeared. Hope to have some images tonight.

I have the best job!

I just have the best job ever. I especially enjoy getting to watch children grow up. I met this little sweetie pie last December when she was just days old and yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing her again. She is just too cute! Thanks for a fun morning.

Miss Ella

Here is part two of my session from yesterday. Meet Miss Ella you recently celebrated her second birthday. I just love her blue eyes and pigtails. This little one is full of spunk and I love it! I have a feeling she will be giving mom and dad a run for their money.

Too cute!

Today I have two great sessions both with the cutest little girls. Check out Miss Maya. She was just adorable! Can you tell what her new favorite thing to do is?? Thank you for a great session today Jill. I will have your gallery to you soon.

Miss Kenadie

Today when Kenadie came back from grandma's house(thanks mom) grandma had her hair in two french braids and I just thought with her new hair cut she looked so cute. I can't believe how much older she looks now--no more baby face. Well here is my sweet soon to be three year old. I just love her.

I promise to have client pictures soon. My schedule the next four days is crazy busy with sessions. Also I heard from my blog desinger that it is almost ready after months of me promising it to you. So I hope soon to be launching a new look for my blog. Stay tuned!

For My Aunt

Here is a picture of Mr. Butch my aunt and uncle's dog. My aunt asked if I could take a few pictures of him because she is not sure how much longer he is going to be around and I of course would do anything for her. So here is Butchie as Kenadie like to call him!

This is the first time I have tried to photograph a pet alone and I think pets may be harder than children-ha.

Here is the scoop

as to why I don't have any new pictures for you all to see. The weather--ha big surprise! Last night my client called and said when she stood in her back yard the water was up to her ankles and tomorrow I am suppose to travel to Cottage Grove, however, the interstate and back roads are all closed due to flooding. So sorry no new pictures to see until next week if the rain ever stops. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Today I was "THAT" Mom

So the girls and I headed to Fowler Park today to meet up with some friends and have lunch. Well my three year old decided to have a complete nutty for no apparent reason. I mean it was the screaming, kicking, yelling. and throwing herself on the ground nutty. I then counted to three she would not quit so I went to take her to a time out and she ran. Yes I ran after my screaming three year old around the park. I finally caught her and held her like a football kicking and screaming to the car. She then had her timeout in the car screaming and banging on the windows. Of course everyone was watching and I felt like the worse mom in the world that no control over my child. So anyone at the park today that witnessed this--Yes that was me!
Tonight as I am writing this she is screaming in her bed and I mean screaming. I tell you everyone says the terrible twos are hard, but I beg to differ. I find the defiant threes to be more difficult.
I hope you are all staying dry and do not have any water in your basement. While I was out today I overheard many many moms talking about how their basements had water and I just felt so bad.
Have a great rest of the week.

6 Days Old

Today I traveled to Milwaukee to photograph this sweet little baby boy. I truely feel honored when I am invited into a families life at such an important a percious time. I also had the opportunity to meet some extended family that so graciously gave up some time with sweet little James so I could photograph him. Thank you for a fun morning.

I hope everyone survived the horrible storms early today. My yard was full of hail and the girls were really freaked out. Thankfully it has stopped now and everyone is in bed!

I am in love

I am just in love with all of the images from this session. I am so glad I found this location--I love the light and variety of backgrounds. These two just cracked me up because they were so serious, but that is there personalities. I am posting quite a few simply because I cannot choose. Also I am not sure my sessions this weekend will happen if the weather keeps up like this so it may be a while before new images. Still working on the new blog--hopefully you will see it soon. Have a great day indoors!
