Little Vivian




 This sweet lil thing was so funny in her blessing dress...
grabbing the lace and putting it by her face-
so hard to get it out of her hand and shoot before she would grab it again. 
She was super alert, but not a big fan of looking at towards me or the camera-haha. 
She is so tiny and beautiful-
can't wait to watch her grow and 
see if she looks like her gorgeous siblings!!

Glowin' Mama







I was so excited when I heard that Lacy was pregnant...
I worked with her at the school and she is AMAZING with kids
She is so adorable...the smallest little belly.
When they talk about people getting the pregnancy glow...
she most definitely has it. 
Pregnancy suits her well and she is gorgeous
They were so fun on this shoot-they were up for everything 
and even though it was cold we had a good time. 
She has the cutest nursery-owls, my fav!! 
I know this lil girl is going to be a pretty lil thing like her mama...
I cannot wait to meet their sweet lil pea!!!

Tim Senior





A last minute late edition for seniors...
when his dad asked if I could pix I just had to laugh since they were due like 3 weeks ago~
it's nice to know I am not the only one who is behind :0). 
This is another one of Eric's basketball kids, one of the funny ones.
He and Eric always have great banter back and forth...and lots of funny bets. 
His nickname is the Baconator because he can down the whole meal from Wendy's 
and still eat more...
not sure where he puts it all! 
We just found out he scored an incredible ACT score 
and is hoping to get some scholarships. 
Thanks Tim and good luck with your school plans...
with a mind like that I know you have big things ahead!

Schluckbier Family







This is my good friend Keri's family~
it was so nice to meet them, they were all great! 
Once again it was a freezing cold Wyoming day-even with the sun shining! 
I love this little local park and the snow made it so pristine! 
We even got to walk out on the middle of the creek and shoot, 
the only benefit to freezing temps is the awesome frozen lakes and rivers here :0).
 I can see now where Keri gets her amazing qualities from-
her parents were awesome 
and her dad gave me a hug when we were done...
you can tell he is a dad to girls. 
Thanks Schluckbier family it was great...even if it was freezing!

Lloyd Family









 We had a great time on this shoot....but man, it was seriously cold! 
One of the drawbacks to where I live is that we get in the negatives quite frequently 
and this day was no exception! 
We were able to get a shoot in over Christmas break while their oldest son was home 
(he is away playing hockey) and while the grandparents were in town.
 Everyone was super cooperative which made for a much faster shoot-
goodbye frostbitten toes! 
I miss seeing their little madman at school...
what a charmer he is :0). 
Thanks beautiful Lloyd family 
for braving the cold with me!

Mister Handsome




Oh goodness...
this lil mister gets cuter by the month! 
He was so easy going on this shoot and @ 3 months old is as big as my 6 month old!! 
He was smiling and laughing while his mom sang 
Frosty the Snowman. 
Lil D was also a big helped being my side show entertainment 
(or distractor...whatever you want to call it-haha). 
I can't wait to see what his 6 months bring, he is so alert, strong, and happy already!!

Dustin Senior Pix




I had the opportunity to shoot Dustin while he came home for a weekend to visit his mom. 
He moved this last year with his dad, 
and it was good to see him again and find out about his future plans. 
He was one of Eric's basketball players last year and worked with Eric a lot while trying to rehab a knee injury. 
The poor kid just re-injured his knee so he is out again for the basketball season...
hoping he gets healthy again soon
Good luck Dustin!

Awesome Giveaway

Man this would really jump start the business for the new year since I am still trying to figure out my business cards :0)

BBall Boys





I am finishing up my seniors and here is a few more shots of some senior boys. 
Eric was the head coach last year and made some great relationships with the kids. 
Calvin (top 2) is a really great kid~I posted some other pictures of him earlier...
but I had him wait until season to get a few more. 
Owen (last 3 pix) was one of those kiddos that Eric got close to; 
he is a really good kid. 
We have gotten to know he and his mom pretty well 
and she was nice enough to offer to watch D while Eric had surgery...
then they brought D a mini basketball for Christmas. 
D loved watching Owen dribble one night and was in complete giggle fits over it...
haha, it was pretty cute. 
He is planning on going to California for college, 
and I don't blame him-that suns sounds super nice :0). 
Good luck in the sun O!

Rodeo Cowboy






This was one of the coldest days we have had yet...I think it was about 5degrees with the wind chill :0)
He was a tough cowboy though and you can't really even tell that he was freezing! 
Some dear friends of mine are always great about letting me shoot @ their ranch; 
it was the perfect setting for Shawn. 
He has just taken up rodeo like his dad did many years ago, 
and he rocked it this year making it to the High School Rodeo Finals which was held in Rock Springs. I was so bummed not to be able to go watch (I had just had little man)...
but was proud of him that he made it. 
He is such a good kiddo and from such an amazing family. 
We had to delay his pictures because he got kicked by a mule in the face while doing a pack trip...
I think I would have a hard time being around animals after that, but not Shawn-
he's a true cowboy.  
I can't wait to see where life takes him~he has a lot of promise. 
Always get back on the horse Shawn!!

Beautiful Cassidy







I work with this shy little senior...she is such a beauty
It took me a minute to break her out of her shell, 
but she took direction so well and was up for just about anything. 
We had a ton of fun our on her mom's property...and I got to shoot with a horse, 
not the easiest of situations since I am not that comfortable around them :0). 
Thanks so much for asking me to do your pictures Cassidy...
you've got big things coming for you pretty lady~good luck!!!
