Farm Truck Growth Chart

Confession: My girls do not have baby books. I can't remember their first words or when they took their first steps. What I do have are piles of photos which often record milestones despite myself.

Kira & Emily

I recently had a free afternoon, two willing models, a paper collar and a feisty neighbor chicken.

Super Seven!

Every year the girls choose a theme for their birthday and dress up to match. This year they chose Wonder Woman and Batgirl. They were superheroes for their birthday but supervillains (Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn) for Halloween.

Baby ~ Sophia

Introducing my newest niece Sophia!

It's still hard to believe she's real since her parents (my brother and his wife) were told they couldn't have any more kids after she almost died giving birth to their son over nine years ago. What an amazing miracle and fun surprise to find out a baby was on her way! 

Even though I was there for her arrival, a last minute decision for a c-section made it impossible for me to photograph her birth so I decided to focus on the moment her big brother met her for the first time the next day. I also had fun doing a few posey pics when she came home a few days later. She'd better get used to auntie's camera like all her big cousins. Look at that sweet little face!

Senior ~ Cameron

When Cameron said he wanted his truck and 4-wheeler in his senior photos I knew exactly what I wanted that to look like. The first photo is almost my exact vision. Thankfully my gear still worked even after I knocked my favorite light off its tripod and the sky did a pretty awesome job cooperating too. Cameron is class of 2016 but I'm not going to share which class his mom and I were in together. Hint: It ends in the same number. Yikes!

Project ~ Pink Wig Pink Dress

When you have friends that will show up at a moment's notice and let you style them however you want. I was itching to use Annie's 5th birthday party Bubble Guppy wig again and had a random pink dress I needed to return to a collection. I added some pink lip color and we ran around my yard. Kiana was also the model for my Masking Tape shoot.
