One of the many nice perks of my maternity leave from both my day job and photography has been the time to shoot and edit (and now share) some more pictures of my own little birds.
Ben, my big boy, will be going to kindergarten in the fall. I can hardly believe it. He is sweet, sensitive, and imaginative. A few weeks ago he announced “tomorrow is elephant’s birthday.” Elephant has been his “lovey” since he was small, and he used to drag him everywhere. He made Elephant a card, and we took him to dinner with us (at McDonald’s). If you are wondering, Elephant turned 5.

Sammy is my crazy 2 year old. He is spirited to say the least, but it is hard to get mad at him when he is always smiling. He loves dressing up and can often be seen wearing a diaper, water shoes and a cowboy hat around the house. These boots are among his favorites, and honestly, can you blame him?

Lukie is already over a month old. He’s getting all fluffed up and is more beautiful (biased!) everyday. It amazes me how much he looks like Sammy as a baby. This beautiful quilt was a gift from my friend Becky.

As my 2010 seniors graduate, I want to once again congratulation them. Seniors are some of my favorite photography subjects, because it is such an exciting time in life. You are making one of the first big decisions in your adult life. I fondly remember the excitement of going away to college, where I learned many lessons, most not in the classroom. My seniors are starting jobs, or college, as near as RCTC and as far away as Massachusetts. Good luck on your journey and please keep in touch. I’d love to know how things are going.

For 2011 seniors, now is a great time to book your portraits. If you like what you see here, please give me a call. I’m looking forward to my next class!

This is my third time sharing pictures of Miss Evie. The first time was in her home state of Texas. The next time was on a visit to Ohio. This time she visited me in Minnesota. I wish I could take her picture everyday. Those eyes and lashes just kill me.

I’ve been having a great time with Luke, and we’re adjusting to life with 3 crazy boys. My trigger finger is itching; it’s time to get back to work. I’m now scheduling sessions again! Contact me to book your senior, family, baby, maternity or engagement session!
