My Mattea

This family shoot has definitely been one of my favorites this spring. Mattea's Mom and I have been friends since way before she was around...  "MY Tayah" (as I call her) is now 2 years old! I can't believe how time flys! I feel so blessed to be a part of this family's life. They are so loving and full of laughter!  Spending time with them is such a joy... I wish I was able to do so more often.

  My favorite moment of this session was when I asked Mattea to smile at me and she turned, without smiling, and moved both her hands up to her chest and flipped them upside down and back... I was confused while Adam and Naomi laughed and they told me that she was using sign language to tell me "all done". Such a turkey!

Meet the Murtha's

The Murtha's, as you can see, are one their way to welcoming their first child into the world. They are two of the kindest people I know and are going to make wonderful parents! I can't wait to meet baby Murtha :)

Happy Hayden

Hayden baby is such a sweetheart:) Even when she isn't smiling she lights up the room with her eyes. This session was so much fun to take. She loves her pretty things.. hats, bows... even when its not picture day she is the best dressed 6 month old on the block. I'm excited for her family's photo shoot in a few months :)

Bizzy Izzy...

Izabelle is all of 6 years old but has the spunk of teenager already! She made this session so fun by coming up with her own ideas for poses and props. She also made my day by stopping me in the middle of a shot to ask me if she "can take a break to have some those cheese crackers" that she saw in the kitchen earlier. She was such a ham - I loved it!

Baby Luke

I met little Luke (6 months) this past weekend and had a great time getting to know him and his mom Anne. Mom wanted to capture Luke in his favorite spot - Mom and Dad's bed! Luke was such a sweet baby... 
I love his smiles!!!

We are Family...

llo Blogging World! I am so excited to start this blog and share the stories of the wonderful people I photograph. I was hesitant to create a blogspot of my own... I didn't think that I would have anything very interesting to say! But after discussing the idea with a friend, she helped me to see that I would not be sharing my own stories... but those of the wonderful people that I am privileged to photograph. So here I am!

As my first post I find it very appropriate that I share the story of some of my family. These photos were taken of my husbands grandmother, mother, sister, aunt and cousin. The Boots women! The session was taken in Atlantic, IA where Grandma Boots still lives and where the 2nd generation of Boots women grew up.
These beautiful women are silly and fun! and the photos were taken to capture just that...

Fun Bground
