My favorite "niece" and Goddaughter 'J' turned ONE! Ok, so she actually turned one on October 4th...we're a little behind! I can't believe how much she's grown up in such a small amount of time. She's walking, 'talking', and she has the biggest mischievous grin! I love it. The girl has spunk. =)

Here's some pictures we took at 1 day old, 1.5 months old, 3 months old and 6 months old....then we'll get to the latest!

So like I said before, when we went down to Oklahoma to shoot Jared and Kylie's amazing wedding, we were fortunate enough to get to stay with David and Amber (one of my bestest pals from college) and their adorable baby boy!

He is just the happiest little guy I think I've ever seen. He is SO smiley! Amber and David are amazing parents. They work together very well and life revolves around him...in a good way...the way it should. It was cool to see that.

Now, he wasn't too sure about us when we got there...but he quickly warmed up to me and in no time was flashing that good-lookin' grin my way. =) Dac on the other hand, poor guy, pretty much just got stared at until the last day we were there. He barely even blinked. It was hilarious! Dac thought it was his glasses...sure...that's it. =) He was mesmerized by something...that's for sure.

Anyway, while we were down there we HAD to get a few shots. He just happened to be 6-months! Here's a few. They're definitely not what we had hoped to to get but we had fun doing it.

Brooke, a friend I worked with in the shoe department at Dillard's (good times in the clubhouse, good times), contacted me a while back about taking pictures of her kiddos. Brooke is fun and energetic so no doubt her kids are too. We met up at Riverside Park in Wichita and we had a blast chasing the kids around - they had us cracking up the entire time. =) It was a super hot day so when the fountains came on later that morning we had to get some shots of them splashing around in that. Here's some of our favorites. I had a hard time narrowing it down because there were so many fun ones of the kids playing.

So Happy Fathers Day (a day late) to all you awesome dads out there! We had a good time yesterday eating and spending time with both our dads.

This little guy (and his mom) ordered a photo session to surprise his dad with some cute pictures. I think that's a fabulous idea! =) We had a great time chasing him around and playing in the rocks. He's cute - I asked him if he could come sit by me (meaning in front of me so I could snap a picture) and he did. He came and sat right next to me. It didn't help me get a picture but I was glad I got a buddy out of the deal! Anyway, his dad is a police officer so we got some shots of him sporting dad's stuff. My guess is his dad is pretty proud right about now.

You can all breathe a sigh of relief...this isn't another pointless personal post. This is a post with pictures from a fun family session we did a couple weeks ago. Cute kids are involved, so get excited!

When Kami wrote me a while back about doing this session, I was pumped! I've known Kami for a long time. She's the older sister of one of my ALL-TIME best friends, Kasie. (Side note, Kasie, affectionately known as Kasie Boo by her niece, came along for the shoot!! Yay for that!)

Anyway, Kami wanted something 'different' (love that) so I had all these awesome locations (or so I thought) and ideas planned out. Well, when we did a final look at the places, there was something wrong with each of them. There was either too much glass around, too much tall grass/weeds and thus ticks, and basically, they just weren't kid friendly. When they arrived, little miss 'B' wasn't exactly super-excited about getting her pictures taken. SO, we headed to the nearest alley and when we got there, there was all these large construction trucks and stuff in front of where we wanted to shoot. At this point, 'B' is even more unhappy (I never realized we were so scary..hehe) so we just said forget it and worked it right there!

Kasie Boo tried making 'B' smile by fake hurting herself...like tripping on the curb, running into signs, etc... It worked like a charm. She began giggling like CRAZY!! She's just the cutest thing.  We worked fast while the smiles were in full force. Here's some of what we got:
