This is a session I donated to a fun charitable event we had at school.  We were given tickets for each canned good we brought in, and with those tickets, we got to bid on donated items.  I bid on and won a really cool window-pane-tuned-picture-frame, and April bid on my donated session.  It was such a fun event and I’m looking forward to it again this fall (my last) semester!  April has become one of my closest friends in nursing school and I am so thankful for her.  Her family is pretty awesome too, and her daughter has such a fun personality I was smiling my way through the entire session.  Here is the Martin Family!

We took pictures of sweet little Emily wearing a dress her grandmother made her!  What a gorgeous dress!  We took those shots at the Brooks Museum and then played around the Levitt Shell for a selection of casual images.

Here are two sweet kids that I had the opportunity to photograph before Christmas.  The images from their mini session were going to be a present for their Daddy and they did soooo good during the shoot!  I love the late afternoon light in these too!

I had my youngest all to myself.  The two bigger kids started school and I had one week to go before I started back to nursing school.  The world was ours to explore.  Well, we mainly explored around the proximity of our home, but still, there is alot to see if you look close enough.

p.s- these are all taken with my little, bitty point and shoot.  It’s a Canon SD600 Elph, only 6 megapixels, and I’ve had it for about 7 years. My husband originally got it for me to take on outings with Sierra, so I wouldn’t have to lug my big and  heavy equiptment around.  I have used it on so many school field trips that I’ve lost count.  It has also been dropped so many times that I’ve lost count.  But it’s still rocking out some images!

Well, they act like friends… sometimes.

My friend has this amazing driveway lined with crepe myrtles that are a brilliant fushia color.  I took these a couple Saturdays ago and I only got about 15 minutes from them- it was so HOT that afternoon.  I have ideas in my mind for next summer at this spot!

My kids… I love them.

Here are some images from a session I shot several weeks back, just before my husband and I left town for Ecuador.  The Shafer Family are friends of ours and Heidi’s whole family was in town… it was a joy to meet her mom and her brothers and sister, and their families!  Such a sweet family!
