My hero, Liz


We just watched KCTV5 news to see a special report featuring my friend Liz and her husband, Ryan. I passed her story onto to all of my friends with kids a couple weeks ago. Their little girl, Reece, was hospitalized after she broke out in a terrible rash. The doctors couldn't figure it out and it was a terrifying experience for them. They later discovered that she had a severe reaction to Carter's tag less clothing. The company was aware of the problem, but still keeping the items on shelves! I was appalled and angered, especially as a parent. Please pass this information on to any new parents.

Thankfully, Reece is doing great now. I'm relieved because she is a doll and her parents are sweethearts! Liz and Ryan trusted us to take pictures of their wedding and newborn photos of Reece with their son, Ben (which I haven't had a chance to post yet, sorry!). I was shocked and delighted to see one of the photos we took of Reece featured on the show. They said, "This picture of Reece is one her parents will always cherish...."


Then, we noticed that one of the wedding photos was hanging in the background during the interview.

After the segment, Katie Horner commented on the "beautiful picture of that baby", which is awesome because she is the ONLY meteorologist we watch! :)

I'm very proud of Liz because I know she was worried about doing that interview, but I'm so glad she did. I'm so sorry this happened to them, but hopefully this interview will save some families from having to go through the pain this family faced.

Happy Halloween!

We took kids' portraits at Penton Media's annual Trick-or-Treat Day. The kids were adorable so I'll post some more later. The frames were designed by Michelle Hooper at www.hoopsdesign.com . She designed our logo and makes very cool greeting cards. Go to her for all things design-related, including invitations and announcements. :)

Little Cowboy

A couple weeks ago, we had a delightful session with little Wyatt. He is so expressive and incredibly cooperative. We could have played all day!

Happy Birthday, Addy!!

Last month, we had the pleasure of capturing Addy's first birthday. It is such a good idea to hire someone to do this for you because I remember running around during our daughter's first birthday. If one person is taking pictures, then they can't be involved in the action and if you want video, too, then neither parent is really experiencing the moments.


The birthday girl...


Grandmas got to enjoy the party, too, because they didn't have to worry about taking pictures.










I love that both Bryan and April were able to help Addy with her cake because they didn't have to worry about who was taking pictures.



See...Doesn't she look happy? :)

New Studio!

Up to this point, we have shot the majority of our portraits outside. However, we recently set up a small studio in our house and we had a blast with our first Princess Portrait Session.




Playing dress up...




Tu-tu cute....


Petal power....


And I'm spent...

Summertime Portraits

Things to do this summer....drink copious amounts of Country Time Lemonade, picnic in the park and have fabulous outdoor portraits taken. Come to think of it, you should do that last one every season. We've been busy and here is our proof...

Happy 1st Birthday, Katelyn!



Big brother, Jackson, and Mom & Dad came along, too...




Happy 2nd Birthday, Aubrey!




And a shout out to her sister, Emma, who is quite the little model!




Happy 1st Birthday, Oliver!




He got a little sleepy... :)




And, celebrating a special visit from Grandma, was beautiful little Addy...



With Mom & Dad....
