My little girl, Laney Marie - 3 months

These last three months have gone by so fast! Laney is learning so much and interacting with us by smiling ALL the time, starting to laugh and she must be her daddy's daughter because she already talks a lot! :) When she's feeding, she sometimes will pause to just smile at us. It's so cute! Every morning when we go to get her out of bed, she looks over and gives us the biggest smiles. Laney rarely cries unless she's really hungry or really tired. She loves to snuggle and be rocked to sleep, which I love that she loves it! August/September can definitely wait to get here...I don't want the summer to end!

Smiling for Daddy!
Not a fan of headbands or bows, but she managed to get it together for some pictures! What a good girl!!!

I love this little girl!!!

Lincoln - One Year

I was so excited when Marie asked me last week if I could do Lincoln's one year pictures. The last time I saw Lincoln in person was September when I did his newborn pictures. Lincoln is a very special boy and a miracle of God. The day before his newborn shoot I had found out I was pregnant with Laney. She is now 3 months old, so a lot has happened in both mine and Marie's lives since our last visit!!!

We took these in Eastborough Park in Wichita...beautiful older neighborhood that is very confusing to find your way! When I finally arrived, Marie got Lincoln out of the car and as I looked over at him, he looked at me and gave me THE cutest 2 tooth grin I've ever seen!!! It was so much fun taking his pictures!!!

I love his little feet in this next one.
Some of my favorite images capture the size of the child and special moments during this time. 
This image is kind of symbolic to me in the fact that Lincoln had major obstacles to overcome when he was born (because he was about 10 weeks early). He is a strong little guy and he has and will continue to make it to the top!!!
Thanks again Marie and Lincoln!!!

It's that time of year again...

SENIORS!!! I've been busy photographing seniors this summer and would love to have more!! They remind me of what it was like to be young...10 years ago - WOW! I can't believe it's been that long already for me. Anyway, these "kids" are awesome and were a blast to photograph! My favorite images are the close-ups that really show off their beauty. Enjoy...and I hope to be adding more soon!

The new Love of my Life!!!

My happy little girl at 8 weeks! :) She's such a cutie!!!

Our first family photo!

Meet Miss Laney Marie! She was born April 13, 2010 at 8:43pm weighing 6 pounds and 20 inches long. She is sooo beautiful and so very loved! These images were taken by my good friend Dena Sorensen and myself. Dena was present for the birth of Laney and put together the most amazing and moving slideshow you've ever seen.

Laney's birth slideshow

Have a tissue handy if you are going to watch! 

Laney is growing and changing everyday. She's beginning to smile just because (not just gas giggles anymore) and cooing at us. We are so in love with her! *Click on the images to enlarge*

Our lives have truly been blessed and we are so happy!!

Valentine's Love - Engagement Session

Meet Erin and Elliot. They will be married this summer in Wichita. I met Erin through a mutual friend and Elliot happens to be from Wellington! Small world. We enjoyed a nice break in the cold weather for their session in downtown Wichita! Congrats to you both and can't wait to see you on your special day!

They belong in a magazine!

Stay tuned...more to come later!

Senior 2010

I am a little partial to blue eyes and blonde hair - I wonder why?! This was a fun session with this awesome senior. This is my favorite image...

We started out in the church courtyard because the Methodist Church here has played an important role in his life. He is truly an inspiration! :)

Tennis anyone?!
Thanks Josh! Enjoy your senior year!!

Church Friends

I love fall because the leaves and trees are so beautiful. They also wore my favorite, black, which makes the images "pop" so much! Craig and I are blessed to be able to help this couple sponsor the high school youth group this year!

I thought this was a fun picture...throwing leaves!
My favorite, brother and sister. They have the best smiles! :)
