I am so happy I got to meet sweet little Hannah! She was such a cutie! She gave me a big adorable smile for almost every photo I clicked. She, along with her Mom and Dad made my job very easy…..I have so many favorites from this session that we shot in The Paseo. And, a special thanks for the beautiful flowers I got to keep courtesy of Hannah’s mom, a local florist. They are blooming BEAUTIFUL! Enjoy your sneak peek and thanks so much for choosing Art and Soul for your family photos – I can’t wait for you to see all of Hannah’s sweet smiles in your online gallery soon to come:)

Such a fun family!!

Such a happy girl!

It was so great meeting the three of you! Thanks for a wonderful session!

My little Nature Girl…..We snuck out of town for a few days and let me tell you – I have a little  girl who could stay outside day and night! She had so much fun exploring the national park and skipping rocks with her Daddy. The weather was PERFECT and we could not have asked for a better getaway….Had to snap a few shots of Auburn behind our campground, where the light was AMAZING! Looking at these makes me happy and sad all at the same time…..Where did my baby go? She is looking like a toddler now instead of my little round baby. She is talking so much and trying her best to sing her ABC’s….It is adorable! Sometimes I wish I could just freeze my little Sunflower….

Auburn could stay outside FOREVER! She loved throwing rocks into the lake :)

Man, my baby girl sure is looking more like a toddler than a baby lately….

I am always so proud of my husband….He is SUCH an amazing Father!

I am soooo behind on blog posts – and am so thankful for my sweet patient families! Met up with this family of six ( I shot the wedding Caitlin and CJ back in June – such a cute wedding) We  decided on a session at the Botanical Gardens and we were surrounded with weddings galore!!!!! There really must have been 4 or 5 weddings going on that day – but weddings (or wind) did not stop us from getting some super fun images. Just about done with the gallery for this family, and can’t wait to share it with them! Thanks for allowing me to capture your BEAUTIFUL family!

Love this family – they are SO ADORABLE!!!

These two are newlyweds are just the cutest!!!

Cracking us all up with her glasses and cell phone :)

The whole group!

Giving me adorable little smiles and lots of sweet sleepy shots…..It was such a pleasure meeting his Mom and Dad, who are already pros at parenting!

He is PERFECTION!!! Little Owen you stole my heart!!!

Mom and Dad are golfers and had this wonderful idea for a shot! Love it!

When Megan contacted me for Maternity photos I was so excited! I have known Megan for many years now and we have played softball together since high school. And, when she mentioned she and her husband wanted to do the photos in the pumpkin patch I was even more pumped! My hubby has known Jay as long as he can remember….They have been friends since they were tiny little guys….We had such a fun session filled with lots of laughs and catching up. It was cool to do the photos in the Pumpkin Patch where they also had their engagement photos done! We decided that when Little Miss Lilly arrives she will have to have some photos at the pumpkin patch too!!!! I can’t wait to meet Lilly, and she is such a lucky girl to have such AMAZING parents that will love her all her days!

Megan has such a cute baby bump!

These two are the CUTEST!!!

Oh, Goodness….Where do I begin….Little Izzy was PERFECT! The second I saw those big blue eyes, I could not get my camera out fast enough to start photographing this little beauty! We had such a fun session…..taking shots all over the outside of their lovely home. It was so great to meet Jen and Wes, amazing parents with so much love for their little sweetie. I also fell in love with their puppy dogs! They had the 3 cutest dogs who were so friendly and made their way into a few pictures :) Thanks so much for a great session – it was a pleasure meeting the three of you. Enjoy your sneak peek and give little Miss Izzy a hug for me :)

Her eyes look amazing in b&w and color….

Love that smile :)

We got some family shots that turned out so cute!

I loved that we got some shots of just “mom and dad” 

Jenna and Wes – you guys are ADORABLE!!!

What can I say??….I have the best job in the world, working with the best families!!

Could not wait to share little Miss Emma Grace with you all. She was so good to me for our evening session. I am partial to this age seeing how Emma and my baby girl are just about the same age. I knew I was in for a session of chasing  :) The chasing was well worth it though….I am so in love with these images. Mom and Dad were amazing with Emma as we explored the OU campus. It is filled with fall colors and lots of flowers this time of year, helping for some color-filled shots! Emma was such a sweet heart with adorable blue eyes and the sweetest little laugh! I am so happy I got to meet this wonderful family – and I hope to continue to capture memories for them….

Lifting her pumpkin weights :)

Could not get enough of this adorable smile!!

I am so lucky…..I shoot the most beautiful families!!!

Emma got the BIGGEST kick out of being on Daddy’s shoulders…..So cute!

I wonder what she was thinking here….

Mommy is always there to help…

Thanks again for a wonderful session….Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek as much as I enjoyed our session :)

Just a quick update for the 2009 wedding season…..JUNE is fully booked. I do have a few Friday and Saturday wedding dates still available in JULY. I have met so many wonderful couples – and I am SO excited to be a part of their big day.

 

Still playing catch up on blog posts. I was honored to photograph the beautiful wedding of April and Lance last week. The wedding was beautiful and filled with love. I had a blast meeting everyone  - and loved watching everyone boogie at the reception. Sorry about the short post, off to little Graham’s birthday party and then a busy weekend ahead….Stay tuned for some fun sessions! A 17th month old sessions tonight – and a weekend filled with family and maternity sessions :) A busy time of year, but I am loving every second of it!

The guys were so fun!

Such a super cute ring bearer…

Help from the Bride…..

Loved these girls!

This little guy made me smile at the reception…

Love the father / daughter dance….

Have I every told you all how much I LOVE SENIORS!!! Sam is such a wonderful girl. Fun, sweet, and BEAUTIFUL! We had such a great time exploring the woods and all the junky places we could find :) She even brought a funky old chair that worked perfect in the field of flowers! Sam is an amazing photographer – I have lots of her darkroom prints in my home. I can’t wait to see where the future takes her. The sky is the limit! Love you Sam!
