I have new pictures...

BUT the PODS are coming tomorrow and we only have 2 half days and one full day to get all out stuff in it! So no editing tonight, just packing..the internet won't be cut off until the 4th so I will post more before the move and while on the move because we are stopping for a mini vacation along the way! WOO HOO!

before and after..

Just wanted to share the before and after. This is what happens after I leave your session and before you see your final proofs..this is what makes it art rather than just a picture.
Must be sized weird for blogger or something, click on the pictures to see the whole thing because toes are getting cut off here :(

First downtown session...

and I'm in love! I love the colors, the variety, the light...just wonderful! I hope I can find some time to take C downtown before we move and get some shots of her in the petti...So here are the first three I've done from tonight's session..it POURED rain all the way there and by the time we parked and walked around it was perfect!

They were such good sports walking all over town with me!


and of course one black and white because I have too ;)

Charleigh's fall dress...I love fall

This was actually from the first day of fall, I really wanted to let Charleigh wear something fallish and wonderful and we've had this dress for a while and never had a chance to wear it! So in the nasty rain and wind we were excited for fall. We came home after school and made pioneer woman skillet apple cake. (WOW). Anyone else do something special for fall? Also, anyone else have blogger really wash out their photos? What is everyone using?

Charleigh's drawing for her bestfriend..

Charleigh has really been having a blast in Pre-K. She has a lot of little friends but Miracle is her BEST friend (according to Charleigh, every time they see each other Miracle says "Hi best friend!" ). So yesterday Charleigh drew a picture for her and wrote her name on the envelope and took it to school, it was a hit and I'm so excited to see my little girl making friends and growing up right before my eyes!

previews again! Lots of sessions lately!

Here are a few previews from today, the rain held off and we had a great time at the caves. I'm really going to miss this location when we move but I'm sure Kansas will have some pretty places!

todays are previews again..

of Ms.B's family session part of session! We had a good time at Dunbar Caves and managed to beat the rain! Thank you again guys, it was great seeing you again!

E is almost two years old..where did the time GO?!

Here is my big boy's 2 year old portrait (notice the bribe haha!) He will turn 2 right as we are moving so I figured better early than late!

playing around before school...

snapped a quickie of C when she wasn't looking while we were playing around outside with my scarf! UGH what I wouldn't do to have eyelashes like this!

my C in her new dress and quick peek of Ms. B!

just a few edits from tonight, I have to get back to homework but I couldn't resist opening a few to play!

new backdrop!

My sister-in-law and I went shopping the other day and got a new wood floor and backdrop for my studio setup! I'm in love with it. I grabbed Ms. L to test it out because C was to busy playing to help her poor mom and E would just look funny with all that pink ;-) What do you think? I have a three month old coming over tomorrow for the first part of her session and I can't wait to play!

new favorite picture ever...

yes.

can't wait to do the whole session...

Congrats go out to Annie and Tony on Mr.E! Born on Monday!! We're hopefully going to do the real session tomorrow!!!

can't decide if I like vintage or black and white on mr. e!!

Birthday Cutie

I've had the pleasure of photographing this family before, a few months ago we did their family pictures, but this cutie was turning one and she asked me to come and photograph the little party! I just love his blue eyes and he really loved that cake!

The neighborhood play in the rain block party ..board!

Getting this printed before we move!! This is *in age order* C and E's best friends! The storyboard is 5x30 and I'm going to get the parents to write the names and ages under their children (its actually only four different families lol) so we won't forget our Campbell friends when we move! All the kids are dirty because while we were playing outside after dinner it started raining, next thing we knew we had some muddy muddy (but happy) kids!!!

and one full size of C looking all kinds of grown up! where has the time gone?

and the aftermath of all this..Eli after his trip in the mud!
