Tate

When I was asked to take Tate's senior pictures, I was really excited. I had taken his sister's seniors a few years back, and some of his family's photos and I have been so impressed by all of them. So I really looked forward to doing these. It was FREEZING and I nearly cried for Tate when he came in a T-Shirt and told me that his next outfit change would be his basketball uniform. But he was great and pretended like he wasn't shivering from head to toe :) Tate is a great athlete, and I look forward to watching him in the coming months! I love how his photos look.

The Mitchells

The day I met the Mitchells had been a wild one, but I was so relieved when I met this cute family for their family photo shoot. Little Miss Kennadi was adorable, and even though she thought she was going to get away with not smiling, it wasn't a problem that a little reverse psychology couldn't fix. Every time I told her not to smile, she tried her best to suppress that little cheese, but she just couldn't resist. It was clear to me that Kennadi's parents are beyond smitten with her. They were so fun to meet and to spend some time with, and their photos turned out great.

The Walsh Fam

This is the Walsh family. I had never taken their photos before, so I was excited when they asked if I could. We had a little delay with a broken tooth :) but they lucked out and the weather held up for them. These three little boys are such good kids. You can tell they have good parents. They did exactly as they were asked...with maybe the exception of getting little Bryson to smile. He was a little stingy with his grins, but I managed to steal a few and get some really fun photos of both him and his family. They are great. My only disappointment was that they had planned to wear wife beaters and changed their minds...I was really looking forward to that ;)

Nate

I am always excited when a book an appointment for a senior photo shoot. They are some of my very favorites photos to take. When I met Nate I was totally impressed by him. He seemed like such a good kid. Because he was so stinking tall I asked him if he played sports, and he told me that he plays baseball for Poky. He was humble about his playing, but when I got home and asked my husband (who might hold some sort of record as world's biggest sports fanatic) if he had ever heard of Nate, he told my what a great player Nate is and that his name graces the newspaper regularly during baseball season. Nate's photos all turned out so well. It was really hard to pick favorites.

Ward

I met up with the Ward Crew on a brisk Saturday morning for some family photos. It was pretty chilly, but everyone did great. I had never taken their pictures before, and they were a fun bunch to work with. Their dad was full of personality and had everyone giggling the whole time, and there were some definite blackmail pictures of him in the set ;) I posted of couple of everyone being goofy, just because they were so cute. We busted through all of the photos pretty stinking quickly...to avoid frostbite. But we ended up with lots of great shots to pick from.

The Williams Clan

Well the Williams family kept putting off their family pictures, and I kept warning them that it was going to be cold if they held out much longer. So they caved and scheduled and ended up with such a nice day. Now this handsome baby never cries, and I mean never! And just because it was picture day he decided to show me how loud he could be (which wasn't very loud). He did not want to cooperate, which meant that his brothers were trying to help him, while his parents were dancing behind me to get them to look up. Too funny. But I absolutely love all of their pictures! Three sweet boys...my favorite combination.
