Little Man Wyatt

Today I had the opportunity to photograph a little guy named Wyatt. Wyatt was born a couple months early and he's still a little fellow and almost 4 months old now. This little guy was so funny he was so serious. There was no smiling going to happen no matter how big of a clown I was willing to act like. He had this outfit that said little hero and to me that is true! This little guy was adorable!

Summer Hours!!!!!! & Stuff

Where does time go? Time flies by anymore. You wake up one day and it's already May 1st and what seems to be a few days later you realize nearly a month has gone by. May has been absolutely crazy. I have been so busy with many different things it definately keeps me on my toes.

I'm enforcing a couple new things now and that is Summer Hours! I need a day off every once in awhile. I have 3 kids that are growing up so fast that need me as well. So I'm not taking any appointments on Sundays and the studio is closed on Mondays. The studio hours will be 10-5 on Tuesday-Friday for the summer.

Another thing just so you know my weekends are booked out over a month ahead. In fact I only have 1 free weekend from now until August. If you cancel or have to change I can not guarantee you a weekend any longer. I'm sorry.

The last thing is on proofing. I try to get these out as quick as possible but when you are doing 3 or 4 things a day I can't have the next day or 2 turn around I still try but your proofs could take up to 15 days and to tell you the truth that is still quicker than some!

With this being Memorial Day. I'd like to thank all of our troops, the veterans and the families of these people. Thank you for everything you do for our country. To the troops that are now serving I pray for your safety everyday. You are truly heroes thank you for fighting for our country.
Please drive safely if you are traveling and God Bless.

Snow Glenny Memorial Tournament

The Snow Glenny Memorial Tournament is always memorable. This year was the 6th annual tournament. As I was talking to Jill and Mendy I really had a hard time to just not break down and cry. Ladies I want you to know how thankful I am to be part of such a big thing. I can't say thank you enough. I love doing it and it means the world to me to be asked to be there. Thank you! You are amazing ladies.

This year the opening ceremonies began on Thursday the national anthem was sang by Blackwell's own Autumn Circle and Clint Schultz, they did an outstanding job. The first pitch was thrown by Kinzee to her big brother Cody and from Tobyn to his big sister Hollie.

Standing in the dugouts listening to these boys yell, cheer, get mad or whatever they are doing is quite an experience. However this year I met one boy he stood out to me #10 Ark City Outlaws. I have never seen a team leader like this boy. He gets them fired up. He encourages. He leads. I'm not sure what his plans are in his life at age 12. But I definately see him coaching sometime in the future. I wish we seen more of this! Our kids need encouragement and more positive thoughts.

One thing funny about taking the shots I take I see alot of different expressions but about 85% of the boys stick their tongues out when catching the ball, throwing the ball and hitting the ball.

If you didn't know already action shots are available online. I'll see you again next year.

Snow Glenny Tournament








In loving memory of Garren Glenny and Taylor Snow. "For the Love of the Game"
You will always be in our hearts.

Life is so busy with work, with school, with being at 3 different fields for baseball and softball at the same time. Life is just plain crazy but of course I love it!
Alot of big events have been happening lately. The prom is over, graduation is over and now the next big event and my kind of thing is the Snow Glenny Tournament. Next to my love for my family and photography sports is right there. If you can come out and watch and support these teams there are about 50 teams in this tournament its a huge tournament. You need lunch come and get a burger from the concession stand!
Anyways I wanted to blog because I wanted to tell you to please keep Mark Evans in your prayers. Mark is the sports editor for the journal and on Friday he suffered a stroke. HE needs your prayers. Mark is an awesome guy to work with. SO please keep him in your prayers. Thank you! I'll catch up later!

Little Man C

Look at this cutie!! This little man has beautiful eyes and a smile to make you aww over! This session was funny when you would put him on his belly he was ready to fly away he had his arms and legs going like he was flying! Then well we moved him around to much and he got sick. Maybe next time we'll get more! He is definately a handsome little fella.

The S Family

Ok so I have never let a dog in my studio other than Gracie my sister's dog and that was not by choice. So anyways they bring in their dog and I see it I'm immediately terrified. It won't hurt you maybe lick you but it isn't going to bite. So I took some family pictures and at the end I had to pet the dog. The dog didn't bite me or lick me to pieces but I did pet the dog! It was a big dog!
