I moved all the posts from here over there so come check it out and let me know what you think!

Baby "C" at 6 weeks old

Baby "C" came back for a quick 6 week session yesterday. He has already grown so much and we had fun playing with some new props...that he has almost outgrown already! Here are a couple sneak peeks for his mom who is sitting by the computer waiting patiently ;)

Newest Owasso Magazine out April 1st

If you are in the Owasso area, don't forget to check out the newest issue of Owasso Magazine next week. I got a sneak peek emailed to me and it is another great issue. I got to photograph several of Owasso's Outstanding Seniors and it was fun to read their Q&A in the magazine.

This awesome magazine is FREE and can be found all around town after April 1st. If you can't find one, please let me know and I can get one to you.

I love being involved with Owasso Magazine because I get to meet so many people around town that I might not ever come in contact with on my own. Oh and trying out the featured restaurant is always a plus too ;)

Sweet little baby "M"

Miss "M" is 4 months old and was so sweet. She never cried once during our whole session today and even dozed off for a few minutes for us. Her mom had a gorgeous dress for her to wear and this little hat that was to die for (she is lucky I didn't sneak it out with my stuff!!). So cute! Thanks guys - enjoy your sneak peek :o)

Rejoice 2009 Senior "E"

When I got a call that "E" needed Senior pics done too, we thought it would be fun to do them together since he and "S" are good friends. I think it helped them to relax and have a little more fun being together. I was worried that he was going to be too serious...but it seems that worry was in vain. "E" is a bit of a daredevil and it was hard to keep him on the ground for pics some of the time ;)

I hope you all enjoyed your session and your sneak peek. I will be talking to you soon.

Rejoice 2009 Senior "S"

I met "S" and his mom a couple of weeks ago when I was photographing him for Owasso Magazine's Outstanding Seniors article. He truly is an outstanding young man with a bright future. You can read more about him when this issue hits the stands on April 1st.

We headed out to Collinsville tonight for the session and had a great time with his family and friends. Thank you all for choosing me for your senior pictures. I hope you like your sneak peek!

Beautiful "T" family

My good friends braved the 1000 mph winds here in Oklahoma this morning for a quick photo shoot. We had to nix our first choice location due to the crazy winds but found a great little "nook" that blocked the wind enough to get some great pictures. A lot has changed in this little family since our fall pictures...glasses added, teeth subtracted, baby sitting, etc....and they are just as cute and sweet as ever.

Growing cousins

I can't believe that "baby M" and "baby K" are so big. Miss M is a big one year old, walking around and showing off her silly personality and Miss K is 6 months old and a far cry from the tiny preemie I met 6 months ago. They are both beautiful girls and I always enjoy spending time with these fun families.




Their grandmother actually has zebra so we had to use this background at least once :)

Another beautiful family

I was so exited to get to photograph this beautiful family again this week. The last time I met them, little "J" was in his mommy's tummy (see maternity picture in the banner on here!!) so it was fun to see him in the flesh. They are such beautiful children. We did indoor and outdoor around their house so I grabbed one from each for their sneak peek. Thanks, guys!!

Sneak Peek of the "W" family

This weekend, I got to photograph my friend's awesome family. I loved how they took the basic black and denim combo and added in their own flair. The zebra and touch of pink just made the pictures so perfect. I just grabbed a couple for a sneak peek - there are lots more to come. Thanks, guys!!




I hope everyone in the Tulsa area has a great Spring Break this week. It looks like it is going to be beautiful!!

Baby "W" is one!

WOW. I can't believe that Mr. W is already one. It has been so much fun to watch him grow this year. I have had the privilege of photographing him as a newborn, 3 month old, 6 month old, 9 month old and then today as a handsome one year old boy. He is a man on the go now which was fun and he was full of smiles. We decided to make this an outdoor session and I am so glad we did. We met at Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa and although it was cloudy and windy, we were blessed with amazing temperatures and best of all...no rain!
Thank you guys! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek :o)

So Big Memories in Owasso

I have several very talented clients and wanted to share what one delivered to me today. I snapped a picture real quickly tonight because I was so excited to post about it...sorry it is a little blurry.

I just love it! She stamped my kids hands on there and I picked the layout I wanted and she did a beautiful job on it. If you are interested in a personalized plate or gift, you should definitely check out So Big Memories. Mishelle is awesome! Leave a comment with your email and I will pass it along to her :)

Prom pictures in Owasso

I am so excited to be offering prom pictures this year in front of a beautiful waterfall. Bring your date or some friends for a quick mini-session on April 4th starting at 3:30pm. There is no session fee and I will be putting all the prom pics in an online gallery for easy ordering about a week later. No need to worry about money on that night! We do need to get an idea of how many to expect so please leave a comment here or email me through my site asap if you are interested. Spread the word - it will fill up fast!!

10 days old - Sweet Baby "C"

One of my best friends had her 5th baby last week and he is an absolute doll. We did his newborn pictures today at 10 days old and I couldn't wait to put her sneak peek up for her. I love you, Baby C, and can't wait to see who you end up looking like. I kept seeing different siblings in each facial expression he would make.

6 month old Baby "B"

Baby "B" is so stinking cute! I just loved the little double chin he was sporting. Seriously adorable! I was contacted about 6 months ago from a lady in CA who had found my site and wanted to buy a gift certificate for a friend here in Owasso. I didn't realize until later that her friend was also an old friend of my husbands. It always surprises me how small the world really is. I had a great time hanging out with you all today and hope you enjoy your sneak peek of your handsome little man.

He'll be famous one day....

Just remember that you saw him here first ;) My nephew is a super talented musician at the ripe old age of 13. He wrote the sweetest song for my Grandmother for her 85th birthday (the reason we were in Alabama) and is an all around good kid. I took a few fun pictures of him with his guitar while I was there. The processing was all over the place trying to decide what feel I wanted them to have but here are a couple of my favorites.
