{Amie is so Adorable}

Okay, it was almost impossible to pick my top 5. Amie is my youngest daughter, Taylin's, best friend. She is here at our house so much that she isn't considered company anymore. lol! They are practically joined at the hip. That is perfectly okay with me because Amie is as pretty inside as she is on the outside. As you can see from her pictures... that is GORGEOUS!!!

{Lisa ♥ Joey ♥ Lisa}

I have known Lisa since high school. (We won't even talk about how long:) On Wednesday night, I had the pleasure of taking her engagement pics. My husband, Allan, went along as our chauffeur. We had so much fun! Attempting to take a picture while trying not to fall down from laughing is not an easy thing to do. Thanks for the amusement:) Congratulations! I look forward to the wedding.

{Meet Mallory}

Mallory is one of my daughter Taylin's best friends. She is such a sweetie! Not only is she so very sweet, polite and BEAUTIFUL, but she is also very talented! She helped take our mind off the heat last night (no power- no A/C) with her game of charades. Also, I love, love, LOVE her hair:)

{Magical}

It was 9am and I was playing on the computer, I looked over at Jake and this is what I saw. He was sitting there so peacefully, holding his blanket and staring out the window which had the perfect amount of light filtering in.Yay me!

Even if I hadn't had my camera right there to capture it, I was still thankful to have witnessed this sweet moment. So many people say that if their house was in danger of being destroyed all they would want out of it would be their pictures. Everything else can be replaced, but not those sweet moments frozen in time. That is what photography is to me... capturing those precious, magical moments to be able to enjoy and share forever.

T- R - O - U - B - L - E :)

LOL! Yes, my Tracer can be trouble, but mostly the aggravating, determined, self-confident kind;-) Thankfully, there isn't a mean bone in him... just a lot of stubborn ones. We are thankful to be able to say that Tracer has a HUGE heart to go along with his brains and good looks. He keeps us on our toes and there is NEVER a dull moment when he is around.

{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!
