Caitlin

I've had the chance once again to photograph a senior from Lutheran North where I attended high school. It's always fun to chat with them about school and their favorite teachers. Some things never change, like the popularity of Mr. Mac and his passionate battle scenes in class.

Caitlin will be graduating in just a few weeks and then moving on to the University of Oklahoma to pursue her passion, dance.

Despite having to fight off the crowds at Forest Park this Saturday, we ended up with some gorgeous photos! Caitlin's beauty and grace in movement made my job easy.





Love her shoes!











When we first arrived at Forest Park, there were wedding parties lined up to take their photos here inside the Muny. Later in the evening when they had all cleared out, we were able to get a whole series of dancing photos there...I may have to come back later to share some more of these!







Caitlin, congratulations on your upcoming graduation and God's blessings to you!

Baby Zachary

After two reschedules (first Zach had jaundice and then my baby was sick), we finally got Zachary's newborn shoot done on Saturday. And after eating, oh three times or so, we finally got Zachary to pose the way we wanted him to ;)

Let's start out with some family and sibling shots. Remember this picture from last September?!



This was taken back when Avery knew she was going to be a big sister, but wasn't quite ready to consider the possibility of a brother ever entering her room. Judging from these next photos, I think she might have changed her mind once she met little Zach!




And here's some of the family...






I love incorporating items that are special to clients into the sessions. Here are some pictures of Zachary in the baby doll bed that Tessa and her sisters played with as children and in a basket from the locker room of their childhood swimming pool!






Always love the feet pictures!




Touchdown! (His dad was a football player...must be teaching him early!)




And two of my favorites...
I LOVE his dimple here and I think he looks just like his sister!




Congratulations, Tessa, Ted, and Avery!

Grace and Olivia

When these girls' mommy and I were setting up their session, it was hot outside. Like upper 80's hot. And I suggested that we start really early at 7 am to get that beautiful light. And it was anything but hot! More like in the 40's. But we managed to get some beautiful photos anyway!

We played a little at the park, took some pictures in their Easter dresses, and then played some more and read some books in their backyard! Here's a little of the life of Grace (almost 4) and Olivia (15 months)...

Love my Sister-in-laws!

Just a quick shoutout! First of all, it's Daryelle's birthday today. Happy Birthday, Daryelle!!

Next, my sister-in-law Kate helped me out at my newborn shoot last Saturday! It was her nephew I was photographing, and it was so fun to have someone help with poses.



Yep, those are her soothing hands :) That was the best I could do for a picture from Saturday.

And finally, thank you to Jamie! Check out the Rachel Hill Photography button on the right (and grab it for your own blog if you want!) She made that for me! Thanks!! And check out Jamie's blogs if you want any ideas for quilting and crafting!

And here she is playing with my big boy a couple of weekends ago!


(nice shot, Jamie!....I mean, nice catch, Xavier!)

Busy Day!

I had such a busy, but FUN, day of shooting yesterday! Children, family, newborn, senior...covered it all!

I am just beginning to look through the 700 images pulled off my camera yesterday and saw so many I loved. So I just quickly edited a couple from each session and will be back later this week with so many more!

First up...as in 7:00 in the morning first up...the Kuhlman girls:




Next was newborn Zachary (and his sister Avery):




And I wrapped up the day with a senior from my alma mater Lutheran North! Here's Caitlin:




Can't wait to come back and share more!
