MAY DAY - Oklahoma City Children's Photographer

April showers bring May flowers.... and i'm lovin the flowers! It's been a great week. Not only did my new friend Brandon feature my stuff on an amazing blog, I got a call yesterday from my sales rep at Southwestern Publishing that they chose one of my photos to be the cover of May's issue of Nichols Hills News. May is always the 'Hot Mamas' issue so I was excited when they decided to couple the annual recognition with the 'Babes of Nichols Hills' featuring many of my newborn clients from 2008. And every single one of the babes featured (that were all shot within their FIRST week) have been clients again (or will be within the next few weeks!). One of the BEST parts of my job is seeing those babies grow in to chubby, drooling, smiling people that make us laugh. PINCH ME - this is my JOB :) The magazine was delivered, (coincidentally) within hours of me posting Ms.(cover girl)Mia's 8 month photo shoot. Here's the cover and here's Mia a few months later!

I also want to give a special THANKS to this family. Marsha See has been a premier photographer here in OKC and this is her grand baby. She has all but retired her camera and has been such a blessing to me - she refers all of those, 'Marsha, can you just do one more shoot of my baby????' requests to me. SO much so I'm shooting her own grandbaby. THANK YOU, I'm lucky to know you and your amazing family. My graditude is endless!

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 :)
