Another Beautiful Hicok Family

Brandon and Nikki have a super cute little family with their two sons, Mason & Deacon, and I'm pretty sure I just had the chilliest and wettest photo shoot with their family! Naturally it was crazy, fun, short & sweet!! Deacon is such a happy little man and all it took was for him to see his mama to give me the biggest and sweetest smiles. And the silly picture of Mason was not posted by accident- he LOVES dinosaurs and he took his photo opportunity to give me his best T-Rex ROARRRRR! Kids are great and provide some of the best pictures! :)

My Best Friend From College: Melody Holmes

Melody and I met my freshman year in college at Southwestern Assemblies of God University & I knew right away that I was going to have a lifelong friend in her. We haven't seen each other in TWO years and so this past weekend was a much needed & well deserved visit! She has been there for me through many of the exciting times in my life and for some of the not so fun times, but for it all I thank God that I've had her friendship. As you can all see Mel is GORGEOUS!! I remember promising her, years ago in college, that I would never let her cut her hair again… and I'm glad I made her stick to it because she now has big & beautiful hair!! I love that I got to photograph her because I know her so well and knew just how to get the 'true Mel' out. The first picture is the perfect way to show off who she is- a beautiful, genuine, and just all around fun person. I have such a sweet friend in her and am thankful for her thoughtfulness, how much she cares about others, and just for being able to have fun and always laugh with her. Love you so much Mel & the next time I photograph you- you better have a bump in your belly!!! ;)

Who says we still can't have fun throwing leaves too?! :)

The Sandoval Family

Life is so funny!! When my sister and I were young Yvette used to babysit us and now all these years later, I had the opportunity to take her family's photos. As you can see the Sandoval's are a beautiful family and they have one of the cutest little dogs- Mazey!! I got a kick out of Araceli and her love for posing and her younger brother, Roman, is going to be a heartbreaker one day with those eyes! Thanks to the 4 of you for a fun time together :)

The Beautiful Henry Family

I love getting to meet new people especially when I'm meeting them on the other side of my camera! Heather and her two adorable kids were so much fun to photograph. Gabriel got a serious case of the giggles when I asked him to kiss his mommy on the cheek, but he amused us all and thanks to a fast shutter speed, I caught it!! Lilly, or should I say Cinderella, is a little girly girl and she gave me her best smiles when she was smiling like her favorite princess :) Heather's sweet mom and grandma also joined us for some family photos- I love getting pictures of the all the generations in a family… it's so neat!!

The Hicok Family... All THREE Of Them!

This was my second annual family photo shoot with our friends, Brad & Nicole, but this year they had the cutest addition in their photos. Out with the dogs from last years photos (sorry Butters & Chica) & in with baby Ethan!! How sweet is their new little family?! It's so fun to see Brad and Nicole as parents- they do such a good job and you can see how much joy Ethan brings to them! I love that the little guy decided to wake up at the end of our session and show off some of his cute faces...especially sticking his little tongue out!
