Warm Wishes From the Wesleys!

A good friend of mine asked me to come over to her beautiful home and take a few snap shots of her beautiful family.  It was also her son, Rage's first birthday and she had the cutest outfit for him.  It was a perfect picture day and such a fun, cute family shoot!

Kayla Jo, Jemma, and Mark's Merry Christmas!

One of my favorite people Miss Kayla Jo asked me to take some Christmas photos of her new little family and little Jemma!

Merry Christmas from the Taylors!

I had such a fun time photographing this good looking bunch!  I was a bit concerned how I would get a shot of everyone looking with there being an infant, toddler and a dog but WOW!  What a well behaved group of boys!  They all did so well that it only took me about 20 minutes to get all of these wonderful pictures!  You have a beautiful family Miss Ashley, have fun trying to decide on a picture for the Christmas card!

He is the most adorable little guy...

He was looking at the tv which was playing CMT :)

What a good looking bunch! 

Baby Vance

A very proud big brother!

Big brother looks a little concerned in this one. 

Sean and Justine

I have had the pleasure of taking Miss Justiney's picture's for quite sometime now, whether I am asking her to model for me or providing the image for her and doggy Zoe's Christmas card, however this year there happens to be two more men in her life, her boyfriend Sean and his dog Ace, I had a great time as usual spending time with one of my closest friends and her new little family! Here are just a couple of my favorites. :)

Forsyth Family

My sister and brother in-law wanted some family portraits and I was more than happy to spend some quality time with my nieces and nephew...Oh and Carrie and Matt too!

Adorable

I was such a proud sister, she finally was able to do a serious face

Love my niece Mia and her bright blue eyes! 

Aww... they love each other

Her Baby...my nephew Wrigley

Forever Young

My co-worker Teri wanted some fall family pictures of her family that keeps growing :)

Mr. Carson all Smiles

A Very Proud Papa and Grandma!

Wood's Family

Baby Emma Loves Her Fingers! 

Ashley and Her Boys

As I stated before, I have been in a creative slump like none other.. therefore with my dear friend Ashley being pregnant I thought it would be the perfect time to twist her arm into letting me take some pictures of her.  I had never been so darn excited about light until this evening...it was absolutely perfect therefore I was guaranteed to have a great shoot...if my camera were to allow it.  My camera would NOT focus on Ashley a single bit, I could take a picture, then put her in the exact location and nothing. I was fortunate enough to get around the glitch for a couple really good shots that are just a tad out of focus.  Ashley and Pheonix were such good sports and I am pretty sure I have now figured out what was wrong with my camera!  So, thanks Ashley for letting me experiment with you and I am so dang sorry I was only able to obtain a couple shots! :)

Kisses for Baby Brother

Adorable!

He's going to be such a good big brother! 

I absolutely LOVED this shot of Ashley, she looks beautiful! 

Emma and Carson

As stated previously... I have been in a creative slump!  I took these pictures months ago and am JUST NOW posting them.  Baby Emma was born this summer and I went to her house to catch a few shots of her and big brother Carson!

He was laughing...

He was screaming... (I just couldn't resist taking a picture!)

Someone Looks Ornery! 

Kisses for Baby Sister!

The beautiful Emma Kay! 

The only one she was awake for.

The tutu I made her! 

Sucha beautiful baby girl! 

Exceptionally fun EDITS!

So, I have been in a photography slump for the last few months to say the least.  As much as it inspires me, pinterest has not been able to get me out and create beautiful pictures.  However... I have been playing around with some new "actions" I bought to just make images beautiful.  So now here comes the vain part of me.  Of course I spend a lot of my time editing my own self portraits.  People on facebook are all the time bashing the "self portraiters" of the world.  I will admit I am one of "those" people.  When I am feeling pretty-bam it's time to take a shot and commemorate this moment.  Not only does it make me feel good about myself it is sometimes so much easier editing photographs of yourself than other people.  So here are a few of my self portraits of me playing around with new the "actions"

Now... here are some oldies that I just couldn't help myself playing around with... we're talking years old lol :)
