Ari {6months} - Coffeyville, KS

Ari J is 6 months old!  (We all know I'm behind on blogging, so really she is almost 8 months - crazy!)  I just LOVE her. Her personality is really starting to come out and I can't wait to see what she's like here in a few months.  She's so giggly and goofy and sweet - not to mention absolutely gorgeous.

 This is one of my favorite pictures of her!  We JUST started wearing headbands, too. 

^^^Look at that wingspan and those long fingers!  Future pitcher?! I hope it's that instead of this model pose/look she is giving me.

 ^These were taken by the park that I frequently take pictures near.  There's such a pretty spot with a big fountain that has been there forever and I never even knew about it!

Abram {2} - Coffeyville, KS

Abram is 2!  Ok, so this happened almost three months ago now, but I've been busy! That's probably for the best so I won't get all mommy mushy about how big he is getting.  But seriously, look at this miniature man!  I cannot believe it was two years ago that he changed my life forever.  He is so sweet, funny and lovable, but also insanely ornery and stubborn.  He's a lot of fun and I can't even describe how much I love him.  Now look at his pictures!

These first ones, I took out at my parents' pasture (pretty, huh?) for his party invitations.  Then, poor guy didn't even get a party because his little baby sister was sick AND I hurt my back to the point of being unable to walk for weeks.  Bummer, but they were cute anyway!

Karsyn {3} - Coffeyville, KS

Karsyn is such a sweetheart!  She loves the park so her mom & dad thought that was the perfect spot for her birthday pictures. 

I think they were right.  It was fun going back to a place where I played and had birthday parties of my own. 

We first stopped down the walking trail where Karsyn mostly wanted to wear mom's sunglasses and chase dad who had her favorite toy.  I managed to sneak a few pictures in.

Over at the playground, we took a few of my favorite pictures.

Karsyn spent most of her time on the swings and I got to play around with light/editing on this set.

 

We tried the glitter blowing thing, had a meltdown, and finished on a high point. 

 

 

New Packages! {Seniors, Weddings, & Baby Monthly}

Hey guys!  I'm really excited to announce my new packages!  These are all available to book now - take a look:

SENIORS -- This package has everything you need: the session, wallets to hand out, proofs, and a digital image to give to your school yearbook.  You can purchase additional digital images and prints from your online gallery!

 

 

WEDDINGS: All-inclusive package!  This includes all your digital images PLUS a print credit and your engagement session fee!  

BABY MONTHLY: Pictures are worth a thousand words - but words can help bring the memories back to life!  With this package, you get a photo of baby every month with the same setup so that you can truly see his/her growth.  Each month you have 3 images to choose from, one of which you select to go in your custom-designed photobook! You tell me what describing words you to include about baby each month and whatever color/style preference you have.  The text can be placed on the photo or on a separate page.  If you do not want the photobook, the package is $400. If you do not want the text, the package is $400.  *BONUS - you also get 50% off of baby's milestone sessions!  It is always nice to have full-length sessions for when baby is holding his/her head up (3 month), sitting up (6 month), standing/walking (9 month) and celebrating his/her birthday (hopefully with a cake smash)!

Abram & Ari {Valentines}

Happy early Valentines Day from these two cuties!  Abram & Ari are now almost 2 and almost 4 months, respectively.  As adorable as they might be (even though I'm biased), this shoot was a disaster.  Abram wanted to chase around a balloon and Ari wanted to cry and have crazy hair.  Abram didn't want to hold Ari and so, as you'll see, it ended up with both of them crying.  I did learn that bribing with cookies works pretty well and even though Grandma was a great help, you need one extra pair of hands per baby!  I am pretty proud of the banner I made for this shoot though!  I found the idea on Pinterest & made my own version.  Check it out:

 

Here's Abram last year on Valentines Day:

 

 

What a difference a year makes!

Ari Jude {3mo}

This sweet little girl is my own!  She's had a camera in her face since the day she was born - and lucky for me, she doesn't hate it yet.  I won't write much, but will just say that I love her to pieces! She is the sweetest little lady with the BEST and biggest dimpled smiles and the cutest giggles.  She makes me so happy!

Ari J. is 3 months old, so I had to capture the 3-month milestone - holding her head up.  We only shot for about 15 minutes, but I got some of my favorite pictures of her yet!  I also tried some new editing techniques for skin and eyes instead of using an action for that and I like the results.  Here she is:

                                 

          

 

 

 

 

And I had to get one of Abram & his sissy - he loves her!
