Bockstahler Family

On Sunday I met a family that I hadn't seen for a couple of years! I can't believe how much the girls had grown...it was so fun to capture their sweet spunky spirits again. =)
Meet the Bockstahler family.


This time, they brought their sweet cousins. It was so cute to see how much they loved each other...and what a cool bond they shared.



Grandma and Grandpa also joined in the fun. =)
I loved the commotion and laughter in this photo...it really is a true reflection of that day.

The beautiful Bochstahler family...

Let's see that close up... =) Such a happy bunch.

Smooch!



And another smooch!

Cutest thing ever...

And...he was outta there!!!


My absolute favorites of the kids...
The bubbles were so fun! And the kids were so cute! They were really having a blast with each other!


So, a friend of theirs makes these personalized shirts! Aren't they awesome? I will get the info for you all and post it here later.

Thanks so much Bockstahlers! It really was fun hanging out with your amazing family and playing with the kids...always a pleasure. =)

The Drew Family

Good Grief!!!
I can't believe its been almost two months since I've blogged! That's terrible! You guys really need to get on me!
I have definitely been busy...maybe one of these days I'll be able to catch you all up...
...maybe. ;)

For now though, I have to share a token from my shoot last night.

Last night was easily one of my top favorite shoots of the summer! The Drew family really knows how to have fun...and how to love. It really was so special to be a part of their evening. I felt so happy walking back to my car after spending some time with them.

Below is one of my absolute favorites!!


The whole time I was shooting I kept thinking,
Once a mom, always a mom...no matter how big your babies are.

And this photo illustrated my point perfectly.

Calling Class of 2009!!!

Congrats to all of you Seniors out there! One more year left...and lots of memories to be had! =)

Since many of you have contacted me about Senior Portraits...I've thumbed through my images and have selected one of my 2008 graduates to showcase.
Meet Janelle.

We had such a blast shooting her Senior pictures. Isn't she just too cute?






And then we spiced things up a bit...




And then a little more...








And then we went for SUPER spicy!



Isn't she SUPER HOT! ;) Giggles and all...


Thanks Janelle! We had such a blast....
Congratulations on graduating!!!

Independence Day

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

I had to say that before it was too far gone...he he. =)

I also wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who have served and/or are still serving this country. Thank you for protecting me and my family. Thank you for standing up for us. Your efforts do not go unnoticed or unrecognized in this family. You are prayed for...we are so grateful for you.

A special "thank you" and "I love you" to my cousin Nathan and his beautiful bride, Erin...and my brother-in-law Eric. We love you guys and are so proud of you!

Here is our proud All American Girl...


GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Ben & Dawn Engaged!

Last week Aaron and I got to photograph his 'best friend' from work and his darling fiance! We had soooo much fun! In fact, we started shooting around 5:30ish...and didn't part until midnight!
Ben is definitely one of the funniest guys I've ever met. I think we laughed almost EVERY second of that night!
Here are just a few from our shoot...I have loads of editing still to do!


See? He couldn't stop laughing! =)


This was SO cool! Climbing the Wall O'Bubbles.
Dawn actually suggested it....in heels!!!
She's my hero.



I loved this...we were snooping around and saw this really REALLY cool entry way of a condo complex. So, we called one of the owners from the call box to see if he could beep us in...but he said 'No'! Can you believe it? We even told him it was for engagement photos!
...where's the love?

Well, we eventually made it in...had to wait for awhile...

But it was TOTALLY worth it!



More to come...
