Gary & Paula's Family

Gary and I have been friends since I think 1983...{you know when dinosaurs roamed the earth - aka high school days} in fact all those many years ago, Gary and I went to the prom together...my blue dress and blue eye shadow and his blonde, curly mullet...makes me giggle thinking about it.
Fast forward several years...and this weekend, I was so happy to have the opportunity to take pictures of his sweet little family.
We had lots of fun...and the boys being boys...they wiggled, giggled, played and asked a million questions.
So I hope you enjoy just a few of my favorites from our time together.

Austin's Senior Portraits

What a great {busy} day!
Started off with a HUGE downpour! Thought I was going to have to cancel the entire day!
After alot of prayers...
It cleared up and the sun came out!
First was this amazing young man. Austin has a contagious smile and he is just so sweet too {can I say that about a boy??? lol} but he was!
Anyway, here are two of my favorite shots from his shoot.
I followed his session by two family sessions...those will follow shortly! I'm just saying...what an amazing day!
enjoy!

Alyssa's Senior Portraits

This girl has it all:
beauty, personality and atheletic...
And at the end of the shoot - we got her brother to take some Christmas card pictures {those will follow} which turned out to be hilarious!
So glad I was able to spend a few hours with Alyssa...what a sweet young woman she is!

Blue Dragon Soccer Action

Had fun with these little soccer players...
so much energy!

Landon

this little guy was at a soccer game for his brother where I was shooting actions...
had to get a few of him as well...
he wasn't sure about me to start off with, but warmed up pretty quick making funny faces...
and those blue eyes!
going to be a heart breaker someday!
enjoy

Sharon & Jordan {Wedding} - Orange County Wedding Photographer

I was so honored when Sharon called and asked me to do the pictures for her wedding.
I met Sharon when she was a teenager and she was always so bubbly and energetic and happy! You couldn't help but smile around her...
Fast forward about {10} years...and here she is on her wedding day...
She and her new husband, Jordan are perfect for each other!
I know I've said this before, but I love weddings because for no other reason, they remind me constantly of how much I love my husband ~ even more than I did when we were married almost {18} years ago!
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Beal...may they always be as happy as the day that these pictures were taken...
so...for now, just a little sneek peek...so many more to follow very soon!

Doyle Family

These kids were so adorable...and so great to work with!
Each one of them had deep, bright eyes!
I have known their mommy since she was a little girl...
now she's all grown up with this beautiful family!
I'm so happy to share this sneek peek with you!
enjoy...

More Mohawk Football

These little guys play with BIG heart!
Had lots of fun as always!

bonus shot...this little guy had his eyes on the endzone with an 80 yard run...he got pushed out of bounds at the 5 yard line

and not to be forgotten...our little pal Kyle ~ he did a great job!

Kane's Senior Portraits

It's 10/10/10!
Just realized that...LOL

He was a great sport (no pun intended) today!

Riley...love this little face

I don't think I posted this here...but it is from a recent shoot of my friend Jenee's little family...
