Crave Photography Giveaway!

Checking out this amazing giveaway by Crave Photography is a must! They have so many amazing vendors involved in this giveaway! I could not imagine winning something so amazing! It'd almost be like a dream come true! Haha. (yes, a majority of my dreams are photography related) ;) But anyways, definitely check it out! You won't regret it.

Late Night Rant

Spent a great, much needed night with my Grandma tonight. Went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse (yummay!), followed by some shopping for very adorable clothes at Kohl's, saw "What to Expect When Your Expecting" (which I LOVED), and ended with playing a few rounds of Triple Yahtzee before my back started hurting so bad from my pinched nerve that I couldn't stand to sit in a chair anymore. :( But I love getting to spend these days with my Grandma. They mean a lot to me and we always have fun. :)

And back to the topic of the movie. WOW. I loved every minute of it. We were laughing (or crying) the whole time. Yes, it does consist of a few tearjerkers. I already want to go see it again. Ha.ha. It might just be my favorite movie now. I totally recommend seeing it. I even think guys will like it. Especially those who are already Dads. Even though I was kind of broke I totally do not regret seeing it at all. Ha.ha. So yeah, go see it. ;)

And on the topic of pregnancy, I cannot wait to get to go to my best friend, Mary's baby shower here in a couple weeks! I am still in search of an awesome and perfect baby shower gift though. Need something super special for my sweet little "niece" (pretty much) ;) Getting to see Mary two separate times in a month is a big bonus too! I am just glad we have been able to stay friends our whole lives while living a couple hours away. And I can't wait to get to feel little Molly kicking again. I never got to feel any of my other friends' babies kick. There's nothing like it. :)

Oh and on another note, my little brother, Greg, graduates THIS week! Crazytown! I can't believe how fast time has been going lately. (I've already been out of school for 2 years!) I'm really proud of him that he was able to stay focused and pass all his classes this year. Wishing him the best in what he decides to do with his life. It's kind of sad seeing all of these kids so excited to graduate. I would give anything to be able to be back in high school. Good times. But anyways, enough reminiscing, you can definitely expect some photos of his graduation in the near future! Ha.ha.

Here is another semi-recently edited photo from his Senior photos.

Well seeing as though it is 2:40a.m. and my pain medicine for my pinched sciatic nerve is finally taking effect I am ready for some sleep. At last! Relief! :) Goodnight everyone!

Elayna & Calissa: Sister Shoot

I had the privilege of taking some photographs for these adorable little girls, Elayna and Calissa again the other day. Aren't they too sweet? It is crazy to see how much they have grown in the past year, but I definitely love when clients come back for shoots. It's quite a good feeling and I love catching up and seeing how much the little ones change.

Check out this first super sweet image I got on my very first shot of the day.

Here are a couple shots I got of them last year to compare. It's so weird to see how much not only they have changed, but also how much my photography has changed.

How do you guys think I am coming? Feedback appreciated. Thank you all! :)

Awaiting Miss Molly!

I had the great privilege of taking my best friend, Mary's maternity photos this past weekend! I don't get to see her very often and had an awesome weekend shooting her photos and spending time with her! Mary has been my best friend since we were born and our Mom's were best friends all throughout high school. I am so excited that I am now able to be a part of her and soon to be Molly's life. :) And, I am super excited with how these shots turned out! Get ready for a photo overload!....What do you all think? :)

Ah! I absolutely could not get enough of this shoot! Isn't she adorable? And I am sure Molly will be just as cute. :) Just 10 short weeks til she is here!

Break Time!

The Spring semester is finally over! Hit it off with going to see the new movie, The 5 Year Engagement. It was very funny. Loved it. So many good movies coming out and couldn't come at a worse time (that meaning the me being broke time) Ha.ha.

I have a few photo sessions coming up in the next few weeks though and will definitely be keeping you guys updated (which I have been slacking on just slightly). I can't wait for my Maternity session this weekend with my best friend, Mary! Hoping to try out some new ideas and hopefully find some new great places to shoot. Getting a little bored with the same places. Wish me luck!

Greg's Senior Pictures!

Finally got my "little" brother, Greg, to go take some of his Senior pictures. They turned out pretty good considering he doesn't like his pictures taken. ;) I can't believe he is graduating in a month. Doesn't seem right. Ha.ha. 

 Can't decide between the b&w or....

 color?

Larron & Trevor: Easter Minis

Ready for some cuteness overload? These little cuties joined me for my Easter/Spring mini sessions a couple weeks back. I am just a wee bit late on posting them on the blog though.

 Got quite a few sweet little smiles out of this one. Isn't he adorable?

 Trevor was such a good model for me.

You can't have a good shoot without some goofiness. ;)
