{I'd like to check you... for TICKS}

Okay, couldn't help but to laugh when I wrote that title! When we went out to this BEAUTIFUL place yesterday to take pictures, the last thing I expected was to come home covered in these parasites. YUCK! Well, I guess that I would have to say that it was one of the job hazards:P I probably wouldn't have gotten so many if I would have stayed OUT of the bushes, but I wanted the perfect shot;-) Now that I have seen the results... it was worth it all! Thank you, Danielle, for allowing me to have fun with your gorgeous children!

{Meet Paco}

I thought that I would share a couple of pics of a friend's pup. (The children's pics will be up soon.) Paco is 8 weeks old and sweet as can be. We snapped a few shots of him just for the fun of it. Enjoy:0)

{Girls just want to have fun!}

My daughter and a couple of her friends decided that I needed to take some pics of them. They were so funny. We experienced a LOT of clowning around, but I think the shots turned out beautifully;-)

{Sweet Alyssa is turning one!}

I can't believe that Alyssa is almost one. WOW! Time really does fly the older I get:( It seems like only yesterday that I was taking her first pictures. She really is just as sweet as she is pretty. She reminds me of a little porcelain doll. Happy Birthday!

{Scarlett}

That's what we have named this dress. (Thanks, Heather) Yep, we named a dress:) It's very original, too. Don't you think? lol. Anyway, these are Jessie's pics. I think she did beautifully. Of course, she has her mother's genes... carbon copies!

We had a lot of fun doing all of these shots. Then, we had an idea, kinda like a "where's waldo?" sorta thing:) We want to see how many different places we can take Scarlett for pictures. We will only use shots where the full face isn't seen. This way, we can put different girls into Scarlett. We want only the dress to be the focal point. This little project is for artistic value only... unless we come up with other ideas;-) So, if you have any great, unusual, or just plain cool ideas... leave a comment below!

{She's COUNTRY}

This should be titled Playtime- part 2. I went out to shoot my best friend's twins again. Not only do I get to hang out with Heather, I get to spend some quality time with the girls, too:) Everyone was A LOT more cooperative this time. (I think it's because they liked how FABULOUS the first set turned out;) Anyway, hope you all enjoy these as much as I have.

Oh, featured here is Jaycee- I'll post Jessie's later today.

{Taylin} is growing way too fast!

I haven't taken my youngest daughter out for pictures lately. She LOVES to be the model;0) So, I thought that we would get just a few before the flowers are gone. She did great, but, oh no, she looks too grown up:( Where does the time go???

{Playtime}

I had fun today with my best friend and her girls. We decided to have a play session... kinda like dress-up:) We were short on time today, but plan on picking up where we left off this weekend. Be sure and check back;-)

{My precious flowers}

I haven't taken pictures in a field of black-eyed susans in a few years. I decided to try it again tonight. (Thanks, Teresa!) My twins weren't really too fond of the gnats since I went so late:( But, we still managed to get a few keepers:)

Beautiful Briana... & Braden, too;-)

I had the pleasure of getting to meet sweet Briana this week. She had a different mind of how things were going to be done. lol! No sleepy pics for her. She was a cutie, though. Big brother Braden was happy to join in the fun:)
