These photos are a few from my maternity session with Britni and Chris. I love outdoor maternity sessions. Taking maternity photos outdoors gives them such a fresh twist. If you call me wanting to have pics taken of your gorgeous baby belly, you better believe that I’m going to try to take them outside.

I worked with the Pitts family over the holiday weekend. They are a very fun group to work with. All their children were in town for the holiday and Mom and Dad wanted to have new family photos taken. I took individual portraits of all their children as well as a big family photo. You may recognize Tanner from his senior portrait session earlier this year.

I love the foliage in this session with the Perkins Family! I have worked with this family several other times and it’s so fun seeing their kids grow. This time when we met up for our session it wasone of those perfect autumn evenings where the leaves are practically glowing from yellow to red and the temperature outside is perfect. We took a couple pictures with the whole family, then with their three children, and at the end I shot a few of little Gisela (see the cutie-pie in bright pink!).

I met the January Girls and their mother for this session. I just loved loved loved their cute outfits which were absolutely perfect for our fall afternoon when I took these pictures! Enjoy!

(It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve posted a family session!)

During this session with the Halls we did a lot of swinging, telling stories, and playing games. Somewhere between Simon Says and Ring Around the Rosy we got some great family pictures! It helps that these kids are so adorable.

Sweet little McKenzie had her 15 month old photos taken by me and boy was she a cutie to photograph! I loved the way her eyes lit up when she saw any animal. She saw (and chased) a duck, petted a poodle, and even did a little chicken dance for us. Sooo cute! Enjoy the pics!

I had planned with Raegan’s family to meet them at Hafer Park, but when I arrived there a few minutes early, the park was absolutely PACKED.  Unbeknownst to me, there was a giant “LARP”ing event going on that evening.  I quickly called Raegan’s parents and re-routed them to to my other favorite local place to shoot, Bickham-Rudkin Park.

Raegan was pretty zonked at the very beginning of our session, but it didn’t take too long for him to get into it and really started working’ the camera.  So cute!

You might remember the pics of Chase and Avie I did a few years ago, well they have sure grown up since then!  I met up with them out at Hafer Park.  We played on the jungle gym, fought dinosaurs, and had a blast, running around and taking pictures.  We lost “Gavin” at one point (see the green dinosaur below), but we found him waiting for us  in a pile of sand near the duck pond.  Whew!  Disaster averted!!

Hooray! We found Gavin! All is well in the world…

I met with John and Kathryn to take their family photos. Their son had just taken his first steps a few weeks prior to our session, and he was so proud to show off his new moves. He and his parents were great to work with and are such a sweet family!

Brooke’s family moved here from across the country earlier this year. They wanted to have pictures of her and their new puppy in a setting that reflected Oklahoma.  Brooke was wonderful to work with and the fall leaves were showing off some nice color where we were shooting. The puppy really enjoyed the fall day too. He wanted to run, sniff, jump, and play everywhere… except in front of the camera.  I still managed to get a couple with him though.

Here are a few of my top picks from their session.

The front of the Reed Family’s Christmas card, shows a loving family, sitting in front of their Christmas Tree.

The back of their card was inspired by the children’s mother who thought it would be funny to use an outtake picture there. We selected an image where it looks like her daughter is trying to jump out of the picture and her son is screaming. I loved her idea!

I often hear my clients exclaim “I just can’t decide which pictures I like best!” There are so many options available for a single image that it can be overwhelming! I have been brainstorming about how to make the process easier… and I have a solution! I now offer complimentary meetings at my studio or in your home to build your unique photo package. At the meeting we will review the online proofing gallery of your images, and talk through why particular images may be better than others. Then I will help make sense out of the vast array of printing options available. It’s the final step that can take your pictures to the next level!

Janey asked me to meet her and her family in a field in North Edmond to take their photos. We arrived just as the sun was just rising. As we walked around we found a patch of little flowers the girls could pick. They were so excited; they kept bringing flower after flower as they picked them. The field was a truly great location and best of all these pictures have a very Oklahoma feel.

During these family pictures Sarah asked me to take some pictures of her holding her son. She already some with her daughter at the same age, and she wanted to have a set to hang at their house. These should be the perfect addition!

I am running an unadvertised special for the first 3 people who contact me wanting maternity as well as pictures of baby’s first year.  Shhh it’s a great offer!!

Some of you may remember my post from a few months ago with Gisela’s baby pictures.  Her parents brought her back for her 6 month old pictures. I wanted to share a few of my favorite images.  

She is such a sweetie and definitely a morning person.

Here are some photos from a session I did on Good Friday. I know I always gush over the little kids I get to take pictures of, but I can’t help myself! I mean look at him… isn’t he adorable?!

I took photos for this Princess Themed Birthday Party for two cousins’ first birthdays at the Hamilton Event Center.  The cousins shared a pink polka-dot cake, which was complimented with pink punch and snacks.  There were little tiaras for the girls and play swords for the boys.  There was a piñata, pin the tail on the donkey (err… place the princess in the castle), and they even had a mini-moon walk set up!    All the kids were so cute as they ran around having a blast.

One of the best parts of my job is the opportunity to work with babies during the first weeks of life.  I was amazed when I met Gisela and saw her gorgeous full head of hair.  She had that super soft crinkly baby skin too.  She was such a sweetie to photograph!
