The W's

We had to dodge the rain all morning but had a great session!

The H's

Morgan and John

This is my "little" brother and his fiance. We took these for parents for Christmas and we will do engagement pictures when it warms up. I am so excited to have Morgan join our family.

Langley Family

As you know I am really far behind in blogging about my sessions. This is a session from early November.

The Langley's were so much fun to photograph. The girls were full of giggles. We had fun running around Bricktown and being goofy.

Thanks, girls for all the fun laughs!

Winners of Give and It Shall Be Given unto You {a contest}

I only had one entry submitted for the contest. With only one entry it is easy to pick a winner and we don't have to hold a vote. I so know it was the Lord's plan to bless this family. They are so sweet. I know them through a friend. I am so excited to get to spend some time with them and capture some great moments they will cherish forever.

Congratulations!! Contact me after the first of the year and we will get you on the schedule.

Here is the nomination:
I met Liz through work at the hospital and our families have become very close. Todd is a firefighter, she is a scrub tech. We were both pregnant with our youngest babies at the same time. At 20 weeks pregnant, Liz starting having contractions and her cervix started to soften. Her doctor said no more work. She also had to start giving herself progesterone shots and be on bedrest to keep from going into preterm labor. During this time, Liz found out that she was not eligible to use her benefits because she had not been an employee for a year. With only one (small) income, finances became a huge issue. Todd started working extra at the fire department, and mowing lawns to make a little extra money just to make ends meet. It has been an extremely difficult time for them, but through it all...they put their relationship and faith in God first....and knew that no matter what he would provide. They all have such loving and giving hearts and I know that they would be so blessed to have their love and happiness captured on camera!


Thank you, Kelly, for the nomination. Don't forget you get a session too!!

The last several months have been super busy. I have had so much fun meeting new families and becoming more familiar with those who I have shot with before!

I have obviously not had time to upload any photographs to blogger. (Yeah, that busy!) I hope to update here as soon as I get some time. But, until then, if you would like to see some of my recent sessions you can click on my Facebook Fan Page button and take a peek.
