Shot of the day...

So this young man is a senior at Heritage Hall and needed a last minute picture done for his graduation announcements (that's from HIGH SCHOOL, ladies...;). Anyway, when I invite people to my home for sessions Leah the cat ALWAYS needs to take part in the action, seriously it's like she watches Animal Planet through the windows and dreams of being on 'Pet Star' or the like. Don't judge, she's no CHARTREUX (totally had to look up 'fancy cat breeds' in google) but we all have our dreams. Anyway, thought it was a fun capture! 'NOW SHOO lil' kitty!'

Check it out!

Very honored to be featured on this cooler than kick a** photag blog :)

Few of my faves from the week... - Oklahoma City Children's Photographer

In case there was any doubt....Spring is HERE :) It's weird that I survive without all of mother nature's gift of color during the dark and cold months. Makes my job a little easier having her assist me ;)















And here she was ONE year ago...these remain two of my favorite little newborn shots ever!

TGIF

Just posted the gallery for this family (there are FOUR of these beautiful girls...) Isn't she lovely?

Where to Begin - OKC Children's Photographer

It's been busy!!! I was in DC and had a ton of clients there and am finally catching back up to OKC folk. We also added a family member to the farm - Little Ms. Ries... our new puppy. And all who have animals KNOW that puppies are some work. I've been telling everyone that the dog is EXCELLENT birth control. It cries and poops a lot, she's little and sweet so we're working on getting attached....kind of screwing up my daily schedule, blah blah sound familiar, moms? I joked last night as she's following me around and ankle biting that I just need to put her in the baby bjorn, worked with my boys to keep em quiet. I'll post a pic of that soon! She's sweet though, so I think we'll keep her. ANYWAY, don't want to be that CRAZY dog owner person that can't stop talking about their pets....so here are some cute KIDS too ;)



And here is my favorite lil' baby from DC :)

Just one of those days

Yesterday was one of those days that makes me appreciate the fact that I don't live in Southern California. It was GORGEOUS, 80, sunny, no wind...not too hot, no bugs... After long cold winters and windy windy weeks it's such a pleasant surprise EVERY SINGLE change of season when you have that day that just makes you want to roll around in the grass (ok not literally, near the grass maybe, i did have white jeans on, people and bleach is bad for mother earth). SO the boys got home from school and we took their Star Wars toys outside, I took a few magazines and we sat for a few hours enjoying the afternoon. They caught lady bugs, played fetch with Kahlua the dog, GOT ALONG, it was so very pleasant. SO I decided to pull out my new camera and document the contentment. Sadly, it's a rare day when I do this, it seems the camera stays in it's bag if I'm not working. SO here are a few 'snaps' of our afternoon. Wish i could have got the kitties but I think due to the feelings of 'SPRING', Obi Wan and Leah are feeling the 'heat' and they were likely busy chasing tale... quite literally, gotta love Spring ;)

Oh, and if there was a picture of me from yesterday I would have had a purple flower behind my left ear from sweet Wesley and I can guarantee I acquired a few more freckles squinting in to the sun. Donations for BOTOX are accepted at any time, cash, check, credit cards are welcome ;)

Spring

Just got back from DC, I was there during cherry blossom festival... i got pretty lucky with the weather - The rain stopped the second my plane touched the ground and started again about an hour b/f take off on Monday. It was absolutely gorgeous all weekend. If you are waiting on proofs I'll be working hard to get them to you! ENJOY THE BLOOMS :)
