A whole latta pictures

Im so behind in posts im just going to put in all in one post!!   be prepared for a long one!!!

I cant believe i let this get so behind. I guess when you have 2 girls, a photography business growing and a house to keep up with, not much time for blogging!  Wait, a house to keep up with??. hmm, i dont do much of that!LOL  well, things happen and blogging just get put on the back burner....

Any way!!  i found a way for me to share my photos and not have to upload every single one. just bunched them together =D  gosh! im so smart..LOL  something im playing with in LR3.

Im going to start with this... Remember the contest i had in may? (if not, click here to refresh your memory) Here is one of the winners i got to photograph. Mr. B & his mommy!!    Just too darn cute =D 

Congrats!!!

Next is my first couples session!!  Crazy thing is, Ive known this girl since she was a baby.. I can not believe how grown up she is! where is the time going!  Dont they make the cutest couple?!   =D  Thank you so much for coming out guys! had soo much fun!

Still offering session with the moms group i belong to and here are a few of them =) 

Ms. F & brother L. adorable! 

A returning client. Ms.O and her mommy!

Then we had a private session at the beach & daddy was included!

Meet Mr. R & his twin brothers! The most active kids ive ever met but we sure did have fun! (and a work out! lol)

Another cute boy, Mr. A =D

Now during one of these sessions this dog & her mommy came riding by and i couldnt resist taking a picture . Her name is Adorabelle & certainly is Adorable!

Adorabelle & her mommy are a part of United Against Puppy Mills, follow her on youtube as she rides for her friends... Dont SHOP... ADAPT!!!

Another private session at the beach with Mr. E! 

And his sisters, Ms.K & Ms. V, tagged along too! Can I just tell you that it was the most beautiful day ever!  I actually had my girls with me during this session and when we were done, it turned into a great playdate..Kids, mom and i had an awesome time =D 

This was my 2nd maternity session. So happy Mommy C let me take photo of her for practice, even though baby N due in a week at that time!

Baby N entered the world a week after his due date! Mommy and baby are doing great! Can not wait to take pictures of this little guy! Well, thats if mommy will let me.. LOL

Now for my 3rd maternity session =)  with Big sister! You would never know that she was extremely shy with me. took me a little to find a way to get her to laugh & smile but i did. The tickle monster saved the day!!

  

Now ive been going to the same parks for sessions and was in need of a change. In search online of other parks to photograph in, i came across this garden. One day I packed up my girls and took a trip out there. Loved it!! I thought i found a place that no one knew about but turns out everyone knows about this place..lol  Still, a very beautiful park and id like to go again w/o my camera which i think will be impossible!

So that brings us up to date. Well, kinda.. up to date on sessions but i have a whole latta other stuff to share!! Hope all is well with every one =)

Ms. B & her Guru

Once again trying to practice photos in evening light.  One problem, the colors i saw in the sky when i took pics of my girls have not been showing during these sessions i have set up.  Took me this long to figure it out.. The sun is setting later!  Ugg!  Well this was great practice for metering =D trying not to meter too high!

Ms. B had fallen asleep in the car on the way to the park.  This is the look i got when they arrived... LOL That face says a thousand words!!! 

Her grandfather was Visiting from another state so this session was more about them then Mom & Dad. He wants her to call him Gurgie (not sure if im spelling it right) in the form of Guru. Silly story but along the lines of, if some one asks Ms. B "where did you learn that" her response would be "From my Guru"   hahaha.. silly!!!

My Favorite!! 

Ms. B took a while to warm up to me so i got quite a few with the serious face!

Then when she did warm up, she wanted to be right next to me..LOL was hard to get pictures.. This photo i wanted to have the family behind a little bit blurry But since Ms. B wanted to be so close to me the picture didnt come out the way i wanted. Cute tho =) 

This is what i was looking for =)  I had to BOLT in front of them.. haha

Boy was Ms. B a ham......So darn cute

I did get a photo of the whole family, Not too happy with it but I know what i need to practice on next. Positioning...  

It was a joy meeting this family! Had a great time during this session. Thanks guys for coming and hope to see you soon =)

Beautiful Day to play in a park then ride some horses =)

Took my girls to the park but decided to take them to one we havent been to yet. It was beautiful there, and a new location for sessions!!!! lol  After the girls played on the playground we all went for a walk around the lake... 

When I saw these trees i had to get Gia to be my model!!! Thank goodness she was willing.... 

Other things we saw around the park/lake...........

When we stopped to look at the turtles, gia started talking to a young girl near by.. next thing i know Gia is fishing.. LMAO..   she cracks me up!!!  

Then we were off to the horse farm =) 

Gia got to ride a horse...  she looks so cute in that hat.. lol

Nadia loved seeing the horses but did NOT want to ride.  She also loved the hat and didnt want to take it off.. LOL  We all had a great time and great weather for it too!!!

Photos i took at the farm =)
