Hailley : Senior

This shoot was quick but oh so fun! Hailley and her mom met me downtown for Hailley's shoot and the weather was great. They would say Hailley is a bit shy and reserved, but I say she's a natural in front of the camera - I mean look at that smile! :) Hailley loves to read and enjoys the snow... as you will soon see. Congrats to Hailley on her senior year and best of luck after graduation!

Here is her sneak peek!

WAPOM 2014

WAPOM stands for Wichita Area Parents Of Multiples. This is the third year I have had the honor of partnering with them to take family portraits. We had some last-minute cancellations, but we still had two families join us! We had a beautiful setting, and it wasn't TOO cold! :) The kids did great - we kept it short and sweet. :)

Here is their sneak peek!

Gregg, Pam, & Family

This family is great - I've known them for almost 30 years (wow)! I was honored when Pam asked me to come take some family pictures for them. It was Gregg's birthday and I know that taking pictures was just what he wanted for his birthday! :) Pam and Gregg have two kids, Lyndi and Lance, who now have families of their own (you may remember Lance and Hollie from their pictures here). It was great to see them! Though it was cold, we stepped outside for a few pictures. My favorites are the ones with everyone in their WSU Shocker gear. :)

The Claassen Family

What a beautiful family! We had a beautiful day to go along with them. I was so thankful for great weather! Most of these family members live in other states/cities, but they were all together for Thanksgiving. It was the perfect opportunity for family pictures, and I was honored to be a part of their family weekend. :) I know Joy - she coordinated it all and did a wonderful job. This family was so kind and cooperative. It was fun to meet them all!

Adam, Abbe, Dakota, Creyton, & Maggie

This family is so precious. They are so much fun, too! Abbe doesn't know how much of an inspiration and encouragement she has been to me. She has also furnished almost half my house. ;) I was honored to take their pictures! I love how their kids interact and I love how they laugh (hard) together. :) I was afraid it would be cold, but the weather was pretty good! :)

Happy Thanksgiving - here's their sneak peek!

Andrew, Jenn, & Cole

We may have chosen one of the coldest days for this shoot. It was SO frigid! Jenn hates the cold, but she was such a trooper! Cole was excited to play at the playground - he could have cared less about pictures but we still got some cute ones! :) Andrew and Jenn are so cute - the way they make each other laugh is adorable. We kept our shoot short and sweet (say that five times fast :)), but we were able to get some great shots before jumping into our warm cars. :)

David, Taylor, & Slade

This family is so much fun. I laugh so much during their shoots! I love that they've allowed me to be a part of their journey through life. Marriage, baby, etc. This shoot was a fall shoot that included some hilarious Christmas card pics (those are secret - perhaps I'll post them after Christmas). :) David's parents were generous enough to let us use their house for our shoot (it was SO cold outside) and it is beautiful. The natural light inside was giving me a bit of a photographer-high (is that a thing?). We did take a couple pictures outside - the snow was so pretty! My favorite part of the day was Slade in his Packers jersey!! Go Pack!
