Hailey

Here's another one who use to not think twice about turning her head when she saw a camera...now look where we are. We've come so far..that I was at one of her t-ball games and had intended on getting action shots...Well let me tell you, Boy did I get action, she posed and smiled so much that I eventually had to leave the field because I was distracting her. It was so funny and so darn cute.

So proud to see Hailey come out of her cocoon and start spreading her wings! Congrats Hailey on your first recital!

Only a True Princess.....

Katie, my niece, is the daughter of my sister, Christy and let me tell you there is no describing this whirlwind of a little girl. Never is there a dull moment when she is in the room, or in the next room for that matter. Katie has always been the type that hated a picture taken, in fact she would turn the other way when she saw that you had a camera. Well, along came Aunt Sinda, who was persistent as they get and eventually Katie realized that she just couldn't get rid of me.
On this day, Katie helped me unload some equipment and I had just finished some engagement pics for a great friend of mine. I was exhausted but saw right away that Katie was in rare form. Me being the photographer I am realized right away that this was a moment that should be taken advantage of. For you see, I had been wanting to do pics of Katie, with tutus and feathers and etc. and just never found the right moment to do so. WELL...this was my moment! Boy we had a blast! She posed, she danced, she smiled, she laughed, she pouted...and she was MAGNIFICIENT! I was very pleased with the end result. Keep an eye out for a few more pics to come.

Let the Journey Begin....

There comes a time in our life when we hit that point where suddenly reality hits! All of a sudden, we have grown "OLD". Well let me tell you, this year has been a slap in the face for me...from my first niece getting married, my 2nd oldest niece graduating, my little brother becoming a father, my son is getting ready for middle school, and well then there's my nephew Joshua, who just turned 13! WOW! I can remember holding him in my arms and falling asleep on the couch after dancing at one of the foot ball games. We both were out! Now he's so big, he can just about hold me. He TOWERS over me I must say! And it happened overnight it seems. Someone please stop the time...where is it going so rapidly? I am so proud of the young man he is turning out to be. I know he will continue to make us all proud. Joshua, know that Aunt Sissy loves you and couldn't be more proud of you. Work hard at all you do, trust me it pays in the end!
