Tanner

Tanner needs a yearbook picture so he came in today for us to shoot a few shots. We don't have much time and I had another session coming in so we did what we could in the few minutes. He'll be back for more because I have some plans for him! I'd be saying ok on three ready one...he had one face... two...he changed his expression..three was completely different. I kept laughing I couldn't help it. Then Tanner trying to make a serious face.. he's not the serious face kinda guy he's the smiling kind of guy. It was fun see you after Christmas.

The Sweet Suprise.

Don't you love the kids that are full of suprises. Well I got a phone call from a girl who wants to suprise her mother for Christmas by getting her and her younger brother's picture taken. How sweet is that.
So they come in and we get some beautiful pictures! However I can post them yet because it's a suprise! My kids could never keep a suprise my youngest is the worst!
Kelby I hope your mother loves them! Merry Christmas

The Smith Family

The Smith Family came in for their pictures. This is an awesome family they are the kind you can just sit and talk about anything to. Sarah was on my softball team this past softball season (woohoo Pink Ladies. Anyways...they are all so cool they all have totally different personalities but still have a few things in common. The oldest Samantha I was so excited when I found out she was a guitar player. I was thinking cool I have been wanting to find a female guitar player for along time so off goes Dad to go get the guitar. Here are a few from hers.


She is definately coming back when I get my project finished!
Poor Tanner he doesn't like his picture taken. But he did a fabulous job. I kept teasing him just one more I think he got aggravated after about the 10th one. So here are some of his.

Is she finished putting me through this torture of the picture taking??

Tanner to answer your question until next time.
Here is Sarah. She looks like a completely different with her short haircut! It's so cute!


Then we have little Katie who is just a doll. She is so sweet and smart as a button!


If you noticed the spoon in the 2 younger girls their mother and her mother had a picture made with the same spoon so now they have one as well.
It was a pleasure doing the pictures I hope you enjoy them.

Maddie...

This was probably my shortest session ever! She was a doll but it was time for her to go to bed. Here are a few of my favorites from the session.
This is my favorite!

The Cute little Ray Children

The Ray girls came in today for their Christmas card pictures. They looked so cute. The oldest wants a sled for Christmas so she can slide down the hills at the school. She is a doll I love her hair! The youngest not sure what she wants but she is sure a cutie. Anyways here they are you can see for yourself what beautiful young ladies they are.

The Ultimate Gift

This has nothing to do with Photography or business. It has to do with a movie I just finished watching the movie is called "The Ultimae Gift". If you have not seen it rent it. I love movies and I do have to say it was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time if not ever.
The Ultimate Gift is based off a best selling novel by Jim Stovall. Sometimes in life you get so carried away with life and worldy things you lose yourself in them. This movie is about Jason who always had things handed down to him by his wealthy grandfather Red. Red dies and Jason has to go on a journey. Jason receives the most unusual inhertiance "twelve gifts". These gifts challenged Jason to grow as a man. If Jason succeeded the experience will not only change Jason forever he will discover the real meaning of wealth.
I watched this movie at the right time. Christmas. Christmas is the time for sharing gifts but remember what the real meaning of Christmas is this holiday season.
Now back to the movie watch it you won't be disappointed.

Here are a few pictures from our country driving.

The Hutchison Family

This family was a so much fun! The daughter is quite the poser! She might just grow up to be a model who knows. She could definately be one! I thought about hiring her part time! She is full of ideas about posing! Here are a few from their session. It was pretty chilly and man was the sun bright that day! But we still got some great shots.

Happy Holidays

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are nearly here already! Time sure does fly. Just a note that the studio will be closed November 21,22,23 so that I can spend some much needed time with my family. I will also be closed December 21-27 for Christmas holiday. However if you need anything during this time you can always email me.
As most of you know that this is a very busy time for me I'm working just as fast as I can to get your proofs to you. With that everything will be caught up Thanksgiving weekend! Thank you for choosing Shutter Full of Dreams and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

The Wooderson Family

I think this might have been the craziest session I have ever done! Being Oklahoma's 100th bday they thought it would be neat to have their picture taken at our state sign. Great idea. But let me tell you what Oklahoma showed it's true colors! The wind was terrible!!!!!!!!! All day long the wind blew after the morning was so nice and beautiful. Anyways it was alot of fun I definately had a few laughs! Lauren climbing up on top of the sign that was pretty funny. Anyways your pictures are almost ready so I hope you can find some you like with this Oklahoma wind!

It's the Barnes Family

The Barnes Family. It was a little chilly today while taking these! The boys weren't interested in taking pictures. They thought the Marland Mansion was a cool place! They wanted to see the ducks in the pond, play on the play ground anything but take pictures. So I suggested we dog piled dad they did alright. I think he might have gotten hit in the head or something. Anyways... we got some pictures the last one is probably my favorite of them all.
