Disclaimer....this will be a lengthy post.. :-) I have lot's of favorites!

What a wonderful, gorgeous day...well except for the ceremony..Which included, rain, thunder, lightning , tornado sirens and location changes. It certainly didn't dampen Megan and Nick's day though! Love always wins! I wish a lifetime of happiness to these two.

I was so happy to be a part of this day.
As a photographer you learn to be flexible! I shot with a bag over my camera (covering my light sensor and viewfinder), while holding an umbrella that the bride's brother graciously let me borrow.  Note to self, be prepared for anything. I swear the sun was shining without a cloud in the sky as I drove to the ceremony! 

In the end all that matters and all I try to capture is a feeling of love....it was easy with Megan and Nick's family and friends....I hope the love and warmth of the day shows through the photos.




I don't think I've ever met a more laid back couple.......









My favorite moment of the day...Family and friends humming "Here comes the bride", nothing could dampen their spirits.



I'm thinking the tornado sirens started about now! Ha.

So much fun on a warm fall day at the farm. The Williams family is such a joy to photograph.




 

Laura requested a feet shot...So much fun!

And not so terrible. We did several clothing changes, moved about my yard a bit and had lots of 2 year old fun!



Note to self....while shooting an active 2 year old, don't expect them to hold the 2 in the right direction.
 

Hmmmmm...a bit confused as to why grandma would spray her with a hose!

One of my favorite subjects....Cameron. It's been a really long winter and I'm ready to start taking portraits again!  Cameron is a very expressive young man. We had a tough time getting a smile out of him, but once his big brother showed up..it was all good!

Miss Cloe is now 18 months old...time flies. When I look back at her photos it reminds me of how important it is to capture their first 2 years. They change so much. She has changed from a baby to her own little person, with quite the personality. It has been a pleasure to capture the changes.

Chloe and I did a little Christmas session. Well mostly Chloe played with the Santa hat and I took her pics...fun stuff.

All three of them. Eric needed headshots done for a musical he is going to be in at KU...Bailey and Cylus needed a Christmas photo.

Here they are furry, furry and furry.

Well I'm way behind here....I'm going to do just a bit of catching up. I went to photograph a wonderful loving family on Thanksgiving..I'm going to add a few of my favorite shots of the litte ones here. I had a great time and it was a pleasure to photograph this fun loving family. Thank you Sharon and Tim for the privilage of photographing your family. (check my website for more)
