{max and the fam!}

Thursday, September 17, 2009

I LOVE shooting extended families. Everyone getting together to have shots made of the whole group…LOVE IT! I captured little Max a while back and he just stole my heart! He is SUCH a little heartbreaker. Full of energy and personality. When his mom, Anisa contacted me to get family shots at the in-laws home in Edmond I was super excited to meet everyone. We had our fingers crossed that the weather would stay nice for us, but would you guess it started to rain!!! So, we made the most of it. All the shots you see are in the rain. They were troopers! I even had my own umbrella holder to cover the camera :) gotta love it! Thanks so much for welcoming Art and Soul into your home! It was a pleasure meeting you all!

max and his grandmother….Her backyard was AMAZING!

There was a set of fun wooden swings near their house….I told them not to be surprised if they find me shooting here again…

The guys!

loved these two shots…..

don’t they just look like teenagers in love :)

max and mom….

we took advantage of the rain and let max have a little fun in the water!

dad and his boys!


{bella is one!}

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Sweet baby bella is ONE! She is such a cutie and i had the best time capturing her birthday party! The decorations were amazing and the cupcakes (cuppies and joe :) were to die for! This crazy Oklahoma weather threw us for a loop, but it did not stop the fun! Bella dove into her cake and put on a wonderful show for us all. I don’t think i have seen a baby love her cake more in a long time! She got some adorable gifts including some too cute red converse (good job grandma) I am betting she is still opening toys today :) Happy first birthday sweet bella! I am so honored to have been a part of your day!

Peace and Love!

birthday girl bloomers….gotta love it!

{how am i just now blogging these…?}

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Time has flown by this summer and I am just now blogging my little sweetie in her second time as a flower girl. Last year she was in her aunt and uncle’s wedding and this time in her aunt kelsey and uncle danny’s august wedding. I was really amazed how well she did and in front of such a large crowd. She LOVES birthday parties so we explained that she had to walk to the front to get to the party and she was ALL FOR IT. Not to mention she ADORES her  ”nanny and telsey” It was such an amazing evening and full of so much love. We were so honored to be a part of such a special day. excited for some semi trash the dress pics coming up with the bride and groom :) love you both so much!

two cuties! she LOVED jack!

Ella was too cute showing us all how old she was and holding up “one” for everyone….Goodness, I can’t wait to capture year two…..Thanks so much for choosing Art and Soul for Ella’s first year photos. I just love her to pieces!!!!

Heading out of town tomorrow but could not leave without a quick post for this amazing couple! Mellisa and Zachary are honeymooning in Norway, but still have computer access and are excited to see a few shots of their big day! They were married at Walnut Creek Chapel and I ALWAYS love shooting there! They have the most amazing gardens and photographic area to capture the bride and groom. The couple decided to see each other before the wedding, giving us plenty of time for some cool shots! Hope your honeymoon is amazing! It was such a pleasure capturing your wedding day! Enjoy your sneak peek, more to come soon! Gotta share some of those dancing shots :)

loved her bouquet!
