Grad Sneak Peeks

 "Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practise wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is."      ~Maryanne Radmacher

Wow, grad is almost over for most schools for another year!  As grad photos are winding to a close (only a few more sessions to go), I realized that I hadn't posted any of the pics so far.  I've had a great time getting to know all of these terrific kids (not really kids anymore) and wish them all of the best in whatever they decide to do.

Junior High grad is a time of change too.  Wishing you all the best next year in high school D!

G & R's June Wedding

For you see, each day I love you more
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
~Rosemonde Gerard
I thought that this quote was so fitting for this terrific couple.  Their carefree spirit and love of life came through so clearly throughout the entire day.  I was honored to have been able to spend the day with you yesterday G & R - congratulations!

Keepin' Up With the Jones'

M and T wil be running to keep up once K takes off crawling (and I think that he may have just started).  You can tell by that sparkle in his eyes that he'll have plenty of things to keep Mom and Dad busy with.  What a great family!

Boys and Guitars

My youngest son participated in his first guitar recital this year.  He's taken guitar lessons for awhile, and received a brand new guitar for his birthday this year - an acoustic electric model.  He loves that guitar!  There's just something really sweet ( for my son ... I mean cool! ) about a boy and a guitar.



Play Ball!

The smell of freshly cut grass and mosquito spray can only mean one thing - ball season!  Whether it's baseball or soccer, every field is full of laughing kids at this time of year.  What a fun place to be!



"Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see"...

I love doing shoots with kids - you never know what you're going to end up with!  No matter how many things you have planned, you can be sure that a good number of them aren't going to happen the way that you thought.  The thing is, their personalities always come through, and you end up with more than you hoped for.  Here are some of the sweet little faces from the past couple of weeks!

Go Cowboy, Go!

Finally found some time to put up my latest.   I had such a fun time with this family and their latest addition.  Such sweet little boys!  We wanted to take some sleeping pics but little R wasn't having any of that - no sleeping for him.  I decided to take advantage of how alert he was to try a few different things in this shoot.  Thank you K&K for letting me spend some time with your precious little bundle!
