A family and their fur-baby in the fall.

Say THAT 5 times fast! LOL Really what a sweet family. I really enjoyed working with you guys, you made my job easy!

I love the softness of this image.



Love the colors here and honestly... which one is mom? You look so YOUNG standing next to your daughters!

Sisters


I love how the sun is highlighting big sister's hair. So pretty.


And their "brother". :)


Go Wrigley!

What a handsome guy.

Is it really fall?

I just wanted to show this image again. It's just the magic of what we can do to create a more artistic look without having it look over done.
Check out the original in the post below.

Fall Family Portraits

A nice big sneak peek for the "K" family because quite honestly I couldn't decide what to show them. I wanted to show all of them, but that would be a little much, don't you think? This was at a new location for me and it was B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.! Unfortunately (for me) it is on private property or I would be there all the time!



I just love this image. It's so peaceful and full of connection and the trees look like they are protecting them.


My newest friend.



Seriously... I want to just snuggle him and then munch on his cheeks.


heart melting


Another beautiful family portrait.




I love his smile.


The lines in this image really work. I love it when nature creates a strong presence in portraits.

Just plain sweetness

I always love to see how babies grow and this sweet thing is no exception! "D" and her family came to me this weekend for her 6 month pictures and she is just such a sweet little peanut, always full of smiles. And those big blue eyes... they just melt my heart.

This is one my favorites from her session



What a happy family! I also love this in color and almost posted both because I couldn't make up my mind. But in the end decided to sneak peek this one for no real particular reason other than b/w is so classic. I love how daddy is looking so lovingly and happily at his daughter.


Some of her big toothless grins!





Thanks for stopping by!

3 days new

I had the true honor of seeing Baby "C" before she even made a stop at home from the hospital! Truly it is an honor to be asked to be part of a family's life like this, it is humbling and terrific and sometimes makes me get a little teary with happiness. :)

Of course she was wonderful in every way, from her sweet baby hair to her perfect baby toes.

M and S, I hope you made it home safely and got to take a nice long nap upon your arrival. She is precious and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing her with me.

Boys and their toys

I had the true pleasure of photographing these boys this past weekend. They did a great job and were a joy to spend my morning with, plus anyone that brings a Harley to a shoot is okay with me!

These first two are especially for mom, who was certain that the little one never smiled. :)










Thanks for stopping by!

I've been Tagged!

I was tagged by fellow photographer, Lori Wood Habinger of Center Stage Photography in Shawnee, KS. You may visit her blog here or by hanging out in the "my photographer friends" portion of my blog! http://centerstagephotography.blogspot.com/,

“7 Things About Me”
The rules:
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.

1. I am a collegiate athlete. I played golf for Wayne State College in Wayne, NE. What is special about that is I never played on any kind of golf team prior to college. We did not have high school golf where I grew up and the only coach I ever had was my dad. On that same note, I was the first person from my high school to play any sport for a Division II college.

2. You can type my last name on a standard keyboard using only your left hand.

3. I spent my entire 5th grade year spelling my name with an "i", like Becki. It never stuck. I'm actually happy about that now. LOL

4. I nearly cut my entire right hand off on July 20, 1987 in a "farming accident". It was my first day of walking beans for my friend's dad. I had been working for almost 2 full hours before it happened. That's the only farm work I've ever done in my life. Thankfully for Dr. Cimpl, I still have my hand and all of it's uses. I was doing this work to earn money to buy a $60 jean jacket my parents would not buy for me. My Grandma Edith brought the jacket to me in the hospital, even though I had only earned $8 that day. It was the most expensive jean jacket I've ever owned. :)

5. I am allergic to Penicillin.

6. I met my husband at a wedding.

7. I have never went camping, not even in my backyard.
