Summer BBQ

Every summer, my grandpa hosts BBQ's for the family, friends, and neighbors. My second cousin Randy was in town from Minnesota, so we had a BBQ. We had a lot of fun! The food was great and the weather was perfect. A few of my favorite pictures:

My niece, Mackenzie, she's growing up so fast. It seems like yesterday that she was a tiny baby.

My niece, Jaselyn.

My nephew, Ethan.

The newest member of our family, my nephew, Lucas.

My cousin, Justice. I feel like I'm getting old, Justice it 14 years younger than me. I still remember him as baby, and now he's taller than me, by a few inches!

My second Cousin, Randy.

The girls

Mackenzie and Dani sitting by the pond. Mackenzie is such a little mommy, she loves babies.

The boys

Hot weather, children, melting ice... you know there's going someone getting wet!

Even Grandpa couldn't resist getting on the fun.

Grandma's Roses. My grandma's favorite flower was the rose. She had them all over the yard in different flower gardens. Since she's been gone, my grandpa still keeps them looking as beautiful as ever. I can't help but admire their beauty every time I'm there and remember my grandma.

Cali

I'm so far behind on blogging, but here is a recent baby session of Cali. She's so cute!! She changed so much since her newborn portraits!

The High School Senior Portrait is one of the most important portraits for each and every senior! It is a representation of who they are. It's not just a photo to share with friends, but generations from now, their children and grandchildren will be admiring the portraits. When I was a child, I remember seeing my mom's high school senior portrait and thinking how beautiful she looked. A few years later, I came across my grandmothers senior portrait that was a 16x20 framed print that had been stored at the back of my grandparents bar room. I had only known my grandmother as just that, a grandma. It was so amazing to see her as a beautiful, young woman and seeing the resemblance to my mother and aunts.

Knowing how important these portraits are, we take the time to personalize each session. We create images that capture the soul, not just the physical features.
