Lordy Lordy Kristi turned 40!!!

Well today was my sister,Kristi's big day! She turned the big 40.

On Saturday we had a surprise party for her. She was clueless. She called my niece Megan several times and yet she was still clueless. Even with a house full of people and her on the phone you guessed it Kristi was clueless. The picture above is the cake Megan had made isn't it cute? It matches my sister perfectly. So finally around 4 oclock Kristi gets home and SURPRISE!
All she could think about was I didn't even fix my hair! I don't even have any make up on and I have a house full of people. She kept saying why didn't someone tell me. Tell you what would be the point in a surprise birthday party.
Well it took about 4 minutes to get ALL 40 candles lit but it only took one big puff for them to go out! She did it!! Hope your wish comes true!
Here is Gracie and the birthday girl. Gracie was wondering what was going on why are all these people in my house.
Well Kristi... I know you are going to kick me in the rear for putting this on here! But the world needs to know you are 40 and loved! And if I look as good as you when I'm 40 I'll be happy!
I hope you had a great day today. Love your little sister!

Kaitlyn at 6 months

Little Kaitlyn is such a ham. She is part of the baby program so I see her every few months. She has sure changed since she was in for her 3 months. I could make a collage for her saying the many faces! Everyone of her pictures she has different faces. She is a cutie! Here are a few.

Fall is here maybe?

This weather is awesome! Since fall time is here it means a few things. First it means that it is going to be getting darker earlier so evening sessions will have to start a little earlier. Second of all means Christmas is almost here that means weekend sessions are getting booked. If you are planning on having your portraits made for Christmas you need to get in asap. The deadline for guaranteed Christmas delivery is Dec 10th.
I'm still waiting on my computer so I have alot of things to blog on once I get it back! But for now things are taking forever on this desktop! But alot of new things!! Stay tuned for Contestant 4 & 5 for the senior idol!

Senior Idol Contestant #3 Jared

Meet Jared some know him as a great wrestler, some as a great friend, some as Maroon Spirit. Jared has grown up since I've know him as a little boy. But let me tell you about Jared he is so respectful, fun and just an all around great guy. He gives his all at everything and this young man will fulfill any challenge that comes to him and every dream that he has. Jared I wish you the best in all the things you do. I know that one day I'm going to say hey I know that man! We spent Saturday evening shooting his senior pictures. First in the studio with his mother and Betty. His mother is so helpful and she can easily turn into a great friend. Then we took his dad with us outdoor! He had to supervise all us women make sure we were doing things right. Just kidding Jack. Anyways it was a pleasure to take Jared's pictures. I hope that you enjoy them! Here are just a few and there are more coming soon!

Take 2....We spent another entire day together and thought we would take more pictures! While we were doing Betty's session. So here are some from that day.




I like this one I think it is pretty cool!

Blackwell Mini & Tiny Maroons

This past weekend we spent the day at Kids Inc in a softball tournament. The Tiny Maroons won. The Mini Maroons had an awesome tournament. Friday they lost it was tie game 1-1 until the 4th inning and the Ponca City All-Stars scored the winning run making it 2-1. I do have to say that the only run scored was a homerun hit by none other than Chantelle!! That's my baby!! Saturday they came back having to play 4 consecutive games. One of our pitchers Savannah was on fire! We beat out the Roadrunners and Tonkawa Wild Thangs. Our next team was none other than the All-Stars the team who put us in the loser bracket. It was a 4-2 game. So we had to play again completely worn out and exhausted they came from behind and won the championship
5-3.Our girls played well and were determined to win after losing by 1 on Friday. Here are a few pictures... well of my girls. There are ALOT more on the website click on sports.

This bottom one was in the Blackwell paper and the Ponca City paper.

Crazy Week!

Well I just thought last week was crazy. This week has been even worse! I don't know which way I'm going these days. My laptop crashed and that has slowed down my work flow and to tell you the truth I'm just really going nuts without! After using a laptop for so long then switching to a desktop talk about change! I know why I switched in the first place these things are just way to slow. So if you are wondering where your pictures are they are coming! Slowly but surely!!
So Cecilia, Class of 72, Morgan, Austin, Deadra, Kim & girls, football players your pictures are coming soon!!!!! I promise!!! Things will hopefully be fixed by Monday! I hope they are worth the wait!
Well I'm off to a softball tournament!!!!!!!!!! Have a great weekend! I'll be updating the blog sometime this weekend to if I have a chance! Free time has become limited or none at all!

Saying Goodbye is Never an Easy thing

I had these 2 boys come in to the studio for Operation: Love Reunited. These boys are so sweet. This whole thing is a complete secret their dad who is leaving for Iraq in about 2 weeks has no idea that we have taken the time to do this. In fact Deadra who brought them in got in big trouble trying to act like she had some kind of special privelage! I hope that when he finds out that he finds it special. The boys were pretty excited about doing this. They wanted to do their best. Their dad is very special to them and you can see it in their eyes.
I went to school with the boys dad so I've known him forever so that makes this session really special to me to be able to provide Sean with memories of his children while he is gone. Sean I hope that if you ever read this that you enjoyed your pictures. Stay safe over there! We'll all be thinking of you especially your boys!! You mean the world to them and it is pretty obvious! Here are a few from the session.
