Schleker Family

2008-12-19T19:32:00.000-08:00

I had the fun adventure of shooting this great family the other day. They were a lot of fun and full of laughs. Here they are with grandma and grandpa also.

I love this picture and I am so glad I caught it since they were just messing around while I checked my lighting.

They are very lucky to have 2 handsome sons.

This is the oldest and his adorable girlfriend. They were very cooperative and I was able to get some great shots of them together but I will have to post them another time.

I really had fun with you guys and thanks again for letting me do these. Hope you enjoy!!!

Paul and Diane

These are our dear friends Paul and Diane and their babies Buddy and Bo Jengals. They are the sweetest people and their dogs are the biggest "babies" ever.

They just got married a few months ago and I have been dying to take some pics of them together. Here are just some Christmas ones for their cards.

These boys looked so cute in their little Christmas hats. They were definately a challenge to photograph. But I think the end result is adorable.

Thanks again Auntie Di for letting me take your pictures. I had fun and can't wait to do them again soon. I look forward to attempting all the great ideas you have in mind. We love you guys!!

Hailey 10 Months

2008-12-06T18:44:00.000-08:00

She is now 10 months and learning so much. She is standing on her own now and all over the place.

My mom found her this outfit and it was too cute to not photograph her in. LOVE IT!

I was just playing around with the camera this week, got some great shots. Hope you enjoyed. I am getting ready for a shoot tomorrow so I will post some new ones soon.

Addison

2008-11-03T11:37:00.001-08:00

Last Friday I had the chance to shoot this pretty little girl Addison. Her mommy and I are friends and they come over for playdates with Hunter. She really likes the telephone and was more interested in that than any pictures.

Her mommy says she never keeps any bows in her hair so this shot was just for her.

She found these pretty flowers and of course had to pick one, what little girl could pass that up?

These were the only shots I could get of her smiling. She was not in a smiley mood and since she knows me she wanted me to hold her hand the whole time. I caught this picture while playing peek a boo behnd the tree.

She is the sweetest little girl and is vey full of energy. Thanks again Amanda for letting me shoot these pictures of your little one. I had lots of fun!!!

Ashley Maternity Shoot

2008-11-01T22:16:00.001-07:00

I had the pleasure of shooting this beautiful mommy to be Ashley. She made my job very easy as she is amazingly gorgeous and very open to my ideas.

She makes pregnancy so beautiful.

I have always loved these pictures and this was the best opportunity to apply this style.

She has the cutest little boy named Brett and he was so full of energy. He stacked the blocks on her belly and then sat back to admire his work.

This one was one of those that took some bribery. Hey, whatever works right?

This one is probably my favorite shot of the day. I love the way she is holding her belly.

Doesn't she have the most perfect little pregnant belly?

This one just cracks me up. I was fortunate to get it because at this point he was finished.

I really like this shot. It was just one of those that came to me as she was standing in front of the mirror trying on clothes.

My Beautiful Family

2008-10-29T11:53:00.000-07:00

I know that everyone thinks their family is perfect but I really am very grateful for the one I have. They are the best! Here is a picture of my OH SO handsome husband I took while relaxing outside in the back yard.

Here is my oldest. He is almost 10 and is not a fan of the camera. It took a lot to get him to let me take this picture.

Here is our almost 2 year old handful.......can't you tell? He is better with pictures but only on his terms.

This handsome fellow is my 8 year old and he LOVES the camera!!! He must get it from me. He loves posing, taking, and looking at pictures. He might just follow in my footsteps someday.

Finally here is my little princess....almost 9 months. It was about time for a girl. She is so sweet and loving but my my my is she spoiled. We can't resist though and I am not even the guilty party here. I guess that is the ONLY joy of being the youngest and only girl. I almost feel for her when she is a teen

Hope you enjoy a little peek into my home. Can't wait to share more photos soon.

Take care!!!!!
