Kye

2011-02-21T18:12:00.000-08:00

I met Kye's mom in the fall. Due to her fun and bubbly personality we fast became friends. Not only is Kye stunningly beautiful but she has much of her mom's zest for life - she's going to go far in life. It was so fun to do your senior pictures Kye.

this girl can leap - and still manages to look gorgeous

Bourlands

2011-01-21T18:37:00.000-08:00

It was wonderful to be able to take pictures for the Bourlands just before Bryce left on his mission for Texas. They are a great family and managed to have fun despite the very chilly weather.

The Farmers

2011-01-12T16:03:00.000-08:00

We are lucky enough to live next to the Farmers. My boys are big fans of their boys.

They are a great family and I loved the chance to take their pictures.

Three little cuties

2010-11-18T12:31:00.000-08:00

I loved meeting these three children and their aunt Courtney. I can see why Aunt Courtney adores them so much and wished they were my niece and nephews too. I especially fell in love with the oldest boy Carter as he was so kind to his little brother and sister and so helpful to me. I couldn't help hoping that my little boy Max will be just like him in a couple of years.

These two are just the best of friends

We're getting so bored of this

Cheeky monkey!

Wyatt kids

2010-11-11T19:48:00.000-08:00

The only thing better than really cute boy/girls twins is really cute boy/girl twins with a beautiful older sister. It is so fun to watch the twins interact with each other and to see the bond that they have.

A little hug in the herb garden just before the sun went down.

See what I mean about big sister!

Sara D and family

2010-11-08T19:48:00.000-08:00

I love taking pictures of Sara - with those beautiful big brown eyes how could I fail? Her mom and dad are pretty great too. Lyman is actually one of the most laid back and co-operative dads I have ever worked with (obviously I speak only in the sense of photo-shoots). If truth be told it is usually the dads that give more trouble than the kids - but not this time!

The Bunch bunch

2010-11-05T20:42:00.000-07:00

We spent a beautiful autumn evening up at Shaker Village looking at all the animals and playing in the leaves. If only we hadn't had to keep pausing for pictures it would have been a perfect outing.

Hamiltons at home

2010-10-19T18:18:00.000-07:00

It was a beautiful fall day in Kentucky when we decided to take family pictures of the Hamiltons. It is always so much fun to be with them and the whole family is so photogenic that we couldn't help but get some great family pictures. They really do live in a little piece of heaven.

Nielsen family pictures

2010-09-05T11:42:00.001-07:00

It was fun to spend an evening with the Nielsen family just a week before Mike left for his 2 year mission to Korea. I love how much this family enjoys being together. I know they will miss their big brother but are all so excited for his mission.

Looking very casual considering the light down the track was actually an approaching train!!

Nicholls family out and about

2010-08-31T12:32:00.000-07:00

Despite being outside during the season's highest heat index, this family was full of fun and such good sports about what I put them through. They all managed to look composed and beautiful/handsome throughout. I also love their colourful choice of clothes that match their fun personalities.

Daddy-Daughter Dance

2010-08-16T21:07:00.000-07:00

Kevin and his beautiful bride Devon came back to Kentucky to celebrate with family and friends.

This was the sweetest, most perfect, daddy-daughter dance I have ever witnessed

Thank you for letting me be a part of this special day

Baby Cooper

2010-07-07T04:43:00.000-07:00

Beautiful baby Cooper is almost 6 weeks old.
Snuggling with bunny-bear, a gift from her big brother.

So peaceful

I wonder if Cooper will have such gorgeous curls and lashes

Darby family

2010-07-07T04:32:00.000-07:00

Now, thats one good looking family

Just the kids

Proud grandparents

lots more to come when I get back

Baby Maya

2010-06-24T19:53:00.000-07:00

Maya is a wonderfully mellow baby who just kept on sleeping through it all. She is so tiny and pretty. The cradle and blocks above are family heirlooms. I love to be able to use things in the pictures that are passed down from previous generations.

Her daddy said that he would like some pictures of her awake - and we did get a couple while she was posing on the Chilean flag for him. She's already a daddy's girl.

Sleeping in her mini tutu - it was about the cutest item of clothing I've ever seen - and her mom made it along with matching ones for big sisters Gabi and Elena.

Proud sisters rocking Maya in the little cradle

Another new addition to the family, Rosie, was all dressed and ready for pictures but when she tugged at Maya's blanket and tried to shread Elana's tutu she was not allowed to join in.

Happy Father's day Daddy

2010-06-18T19:16:00.000-07:00

What a lucky Dad these kids have. Not only does he have beautiful and bright children but a wife who is creative and thoughtful enough to come up with a great original father's day gift. She had the idea of having the kids spell out DADDY, sesame-street style, and has framed the pictures in a 5 slot frame for dad to put up at his office.

and, of course, a few of them individually

Elliott did not think this was such a good idea

A collection for Rachel W

2010-06-18T19:01:00.000-07:00

Here are the ones I was telling you about - and a couple more too. Look forward to seeing you at the weekend to view the rest.

I love how the two of you are standing in the background watching him

Baby Benson

2010-06-17T19:16:00.000-07:00

Little Benson is perhaps the strongest 6 week old I've ever met. He can hold his head so high and is very curious. In fact he was so curious about what was going on during the photo shoot that he just would not stay asleep for the pictures. That's OK though as we got to see his big beautiful eyes. A few pictures for you to enjoy while you are in Utah Rachel.

see what I mean about holding his head up!

Looking just like big brother McKay

Finally exhausted

Couple more for Kauty

The W. family at home

2010-06-05T20:00:00.000-07:00

I love taking pictures of families at home. Everyone is more relaxed and comfortable and the family can just spend time together. I had a really fun time with you guys - I hope you love your pictures

I just love these little boys - blue eyed Lucas and brown eyed Parker

Josh and Kauti's five

Prom night

2010-05-27T07:35:00.000-07:00

Being from England and having never experienced the joys and pains of prom, I really enjoyed the chance to photograph Shayna's pre-prom gathering. It was a fabulous event in a beautiful place with lots of good food and drink - and what a great group of kids.

Adventures with Abby

2010-05-22T20:17:00.000-07:00

Our beautiful afternoon turned in to a stormy evening just as we were driving to our planned destination for pictures. The rain started and the sky blackened. A little disheartened we turned south to try to go "under" the storm. Just then we saw the world's largest rainbow - a double rainbow infact. Hurridly we looked for a good location, stopped by the side of a road and found a nice looking farmer's field. Luckily, as we were about to hop the fence we realised that the gate could be opened. Good thing as Abby was in a cute summer dress. What a good sport she was as we hurried through the long wet grass. Though the rainbow had faded a little we did still manage to get a couple of shots. As we were already trespassing we decided to make the most of it and explore a little - we both got soaking wet and had a lot of fun too. We got some beautiful shots of a beautiful girl.

more for Carla

2010-04-23T11:48:00.000-07:00

Just a couple more for you to see before you come to pick up the pictures tonight. Thought they might cheer your afternoon at work.

Tulips

2010-04-13T20:06:00.000-07:00

What could be better than thousands of tulips and a day at the zoo all in one?

all the elephants wanted to show us

children and tulips are the perfect combination

children and lollipops are a pretty close second

Carla's family

2010-04-12T20:51:00.000-07:00

What a fun family - I laughed almost the entire time as we moved from place to place taking photos - sorry again for the long walk guys.

Lots of beautiful kids

More Abby

2010-04-08T20:54:00.000-07:00

Erin, I know you are anxious to see the rest - here are a couple more for your viewing.

Sweet baby Abigail

2010-04-05T21:25:00.000-07:00

Little Abby came into the world about 2 weeks ago and after a brief stay in the NICU is perfectly healthy and ready for life. She was so alert and ready for action that we had a really hard time getting her to drift off to sleep. In the mean time we took plenty of pictures of her big beautiful eyes and of course her sweet little toes.

first kiss of the day - Genevieve and Philip

2010-03-13T17:04:00.000-08:00

When we met up at the park it was still dark. This is our first shot of the happy couple just as the sun was coming up.

Genevieve & Philip

2010-03-13T13:04:00.000-08:00

An early morning photo shoot at Shillito park to capture some of the special moments this adorable couple have spent there during their courtship. It was here that he proposed and they will be getting married in May.

Spring is approaching

2010-03-06T19:47:00.000-08:00

Today was a beautiful day. I'm excited for spring to be here and to be able to get some colour back into our landscape. Yippee.

Brothers

2010-03-06T19:26:00.000-08:00

It is so fun for me to see my boys becoming friends as well as brothers. I love to capture their shared moments.

Baby Zoe

first newborn pics

2010-01-04T13:05:00.000-08:00

Marissa Noe, a very talented Lexington photographer, let me go along with her to a newborn shoot of baby Olivia. I was able to snap a few shots too. Thanks Marissa for all your help and thanks Olivia for being so perfectly sweet.

Cute Sara D

2010-01-04T11:48:00.000-08:00

Sara had a lot of fun with the camera. Her mom said she likes to hide from cameras, and I've seen her do that in the past, but she must have known this was her special photo time.

Suprise Christmas photos for Grandma and Grandpa

2010-01-02T19:30:00.000-08:00

You really get to know a lot about a family when you spend a morning with them taking photos! The things I did not know about the Hamiltons!! The adults were unruly, but the kids did fabulously considering it was a very cold wintery day and their clothes were more cute than warm. As often happens, the photo session ended quite abruptly with a complete melt down of all involved (see end photo). P.S. Nobody tell Rockwell that I posted this picture for all to see.

The meltdown
