Cowboy Tex

Here is a glimpse of Tex the cowboy. He is cute as a button and completely into being a cowboy. These mini sessions were so much fun. We really look forward to the upcoming girls 'n horses.

Cowboy mini sessions

We had some old westerns come to life out here with our Horse'n 'round mini-session. We'll be adding pics as we get them done. Give a little boy a cowboy hat, a pair of chaps, and Chester (the the sweetest mini horse ever) and your bound to get some great shots.

Senior FUN

We really LOVE taking senior pictures but this day was just over the top. Not only were we doing what we SO enjoy doing but we got to visit with friends that are dearly missed. It was such a blessing for us to spend the day with you beautiful girls. We hope you enjoy the rest! Love & miss you!

Welcome sweet baby

It is always such a treat to see parents completely taken by the wonder of their sweet baby. She is just precious and so beautiful. I can't wait to see what color hair she ends up with. Congratulations M & J... and Aldo

1st birthday

Sometimes this job can be so dangerous! How can a sweet babe like this be dangerous? Well, I can occasionally get this tug in my chest that takes my breathe away - kind of like having the wind knocked out of you, but more pleasant. I am a cuddle SUCKER and this sweet little one's hug stirred up a longing for another. Ha!

Happy birthday baby L - you gave me a present just spending the morning with you.

seasons

It is such a busy season in my life right now. It is often helpful for me to remember that it is a just season and these seasons go by all to quickly. I am really feeling that with one that has begun her senior year. We are dearly missing our little B around here. My heart pines to be with her.

I know it seems silly to express again, BUT I will anyway : )

We simply love you beyond words and are so blessed with the opportunity the lord has given us to watch you grow. You and your incredible aunts remind me to breathe deep and give thanks in all seasons!

A great family event - this Saturday!

Just bumping this in case anyone wants to come run. Late registration is Sat. morning at 7 am. Race starts at 8 with an ALL YOU CAN EAT PANCAKE BREAKFAST within just a few feet of the finish line... that is my kind of race!

I am SO excited to post this! Months of prep work went into this event! It is such a neat feeling to see things coming together. So.... mark your calendars for RUN FOR YOUTH, a family-friendly 5K-10K run/walk held over Labor Day weekend in conjunction with De Soto Days.
