Now I remember why...

I always wanted a sister (in addition to my brother, not in place of him, hee hee)! These two were sweet, loving and definitely different from each other. Their affection for each other is apparent, and I adored watching how K, the oldest, took care of her little sister when she got a "sticker" stuck in her foot. The tenderness was pure and genuine...and I felt like they were so blessed to have each other.

The Beautiful Butcher Family

Precious family, at an awesome location...I was so happy they chose this park for their session...even though we got eaten alive by mosquitoes (at least I did!). They hung in there with me while I kept finding new spots...thanks, guys!

Raquel and those eyes!

Introducing Raquel! Her breathtaking eyes were super fun to photograph and her sweet spirit just made this session really enjoyable. It was so refreshing to spend time with Raquel and her brother who so very kindly ran all the way (it was a long way) back to the car for her lipgloss! I loved seeing a brother and sister team who loves and looks out for each other...now I wish I had a shot of them together!

Alex just rocks, what more can I say?

So, when I wasn't snapping pics of this beautiful high school senior, we were gushing over the one and only Dave Matthews...I think I have met my match as far as crazed fan (she might even have me beat)...we were quoting Dave from youtube at the SAME time! woah! I love so many of her proofs, I just had to post a bunch. Sweet like candy to my soul~

I am addicted to texture

I finally bought some textures and I can't stop using them...I'm officially addicted. I love the way a texture can add a whole dimension to an image, creating a new feeling and allowing the eye to take in so much more. This photo is one of my current favorites because the wind started blowing and lifted up Dayna's dress--it caught her by surprise and I was so happy that I was able to capture her reaction. More textured-up photos to come!
