Sisters or Identical Quads born in different years???

These girls are almost like family to me! I started photographing the oldest when she was about 9 months old and have enjoyed each and every session!

When I look back on their images, it can be hard to tell who's who....they look so much alike!! What do you think?

They are the sweetest girls with the best personalities...I just love 'um!!

Until next time~

Another SENIOR Sneak Peek!

I'm sooooo very fortunate to be blessed with photographing the absolute nicest kids....I think I am the luckiest photographer ever!!!

Yep...we're by the "Men's Restroom"!!

It's awesome when the person you are photographing sees things that you don't...Lucas actually saw this curved tree...I've walked by it so many times and never even saw it!

As I was setting my camera, Lucas was standing by this wall throwing the football in the air and I just had to get a few images of the action....Love it!

What a blast we had!! Good Luck Lucas!

We're All SMILES..AND..Happy Birthday to my Sweet Mom!

Now ya see 'em....................................

............................Now ya Don't!!!

That's right! We're all Smiles with NO Braces!!! Chase got his braces off today...after we left the orthodonist we counted the days....767 days with braces....2 years, 1 month and 5 days and now a Lifetime of beautiful teeth!!!

His Orthodonist has a chalkboard in the waiting room where they "announce" who gets their braces off that day....we've gone at least once a month for over 2 years and notices tons of names on the board....well guess who's name was on there today!!!! You guessed it...Chase Thomas!! It was so awesome to walk in today and see his name there!!!!! Don't you just love the after smile...looks just a little bit bigger than the before one!!!

(BEFORE)

(AFTER)

YEAH...I'm FINALLY FINISHED!!!

On the other topic of the day...it's my Sweet, Sweet Mom's Birthday!!! Chase and I went over, before AND after the ortho visit...this is the image I took of him giving her a "Happy Birthday Kiss"...aaaahhhhh...so sweet!

My Mother has been the ROCK of our family for YEARS and she just continues with a truly loving heart and without complaints. She is the most amazing lady I know and is honestly my best girlfriend! I just don't know what I would do without her. She always has an open ear to listen but also gives the best advice ever! She has such a gentle spirit but is one of the strongest women I know. As a mother....you couldn't ask for anyone better..nuf said!!! (And that goes for her as a wife, grandmother, mother-in-law, aunt, sister, daughter and friend) I could go on and on and on......

Can you tell I love her just a LITTLE bit!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!

Wendy

Sweet Thing!

I had the pleasure of photographing this "Sweet Thing" recently...(I can't help but think about the Keith Urban song "Sweet Thing" when I see this precious little angel!)

Gettin' some sweetness from Mommy and Daddy!!

Now....how adorable is this image....aaahhhhh....to be able to sleep like this...priceless!!

These first time parents are incredible! They seem so happy with their little family and are doing such a great job!! Enjoy making your Memories!

This little piggy......

Some wonderful lovin' from the Grandparents!!

This precious little girl was the PERFECT baby!!! She was so sweet and I could have kept photographing her all day. But as you can tell...she got a little tuckered out (even though this image was taken early on).

Sweet Dreams...Sweet Thing!

Blessings~

Poppin' my Gum...Poppin' Poppin' my Gum...

I know that this is my photography blog, but sometimes I like to share personal things as well. I've been talking about my sweet boy ALOT lately...Birthday, Christmas, etc. but I just had to share a story that I hope he and I don't forget.

He had an endocrinology appointment today...as most of you know he's a little small for his age...and we've been back and forth for YEARS about whether or not to do growth hormones, something that I haven't been too keen on because of how expensive plus...just not really wanting to put all of that in his body. BUT...at the same time I don't want him to be ONLY 5'2" (and at one point in time that WAS a prediction)! Well, we found out today that his height prediction is now at least 5'5 1/2" at minimum!!! I had always prayed for at least 5'6". SO...he now does not qualify for growth hormones...we are excited! He has always told me that he doesn't mind being short and he gives himself nicknames of Shorty...Short Stuff, etc.

A...N...Y....W...A...Y....

Not too sure why I had to share all of that but, needless to say he wasn't too excited before the appointment but after he was. We were singing songs, driving down the road and I was chewing gum and yes...I made a popping sound..I know, not too "lady like"...I would only do that around certain people!!! Then, he wanted me to "show" him how to make the popping sound...so I was explaining to him how I do it and we were laughing sooooooo hard as he was trying sooooo hard to do the sound. At one point he said..."Mom...I got air!!!" I WISH I would have had my camera so I could take pictures of his puckered mouth!!! He took one with my phone but I don't know how to get it to my computer!!!

The reason I share this story is because I'm SO GLAD that he can still have fun with me...laugh with me...and sometimes even think I'm cool!!! He is NOW 14 YEARS OLD...High School is next year...he's gradually leaving the roost....friends are important and I'm glad he's got some great ones....he has so many "grown up" decisions to make...for goodness sake in 4 years we will be planning his GRADUATION!!! Oh, it's going too fast!

Those fun little memories (even if some people don't think they are funny!) will be with us FOREVER...I will always remember this day and the little bit of silliness we had..he's growing up and I'm so proud of him!!

I Just Love That Kid!!!

Give yours a hug today and teach them how to blow bubbles and Pop their gum..you'll always remember the fun!
