These beautiful people are the reason for the rest of the beautiful people you are about to see.  They are the sweetest,  and their kids and grand kids have an amazing foundation to build their marriages on. 

It is never too late to have engagement type pictures taken.  Kiel is currently serving this great country as a US Marine and was home for the Thanksgiving holiday with his pretty wife Autumn.  His smart mother set up some time with me for them to have some pictures taken.  Both were very cute and although they have been married going on 2 years, they acted like newlyweds to me…   I had fun hanging out with you guys, I hope your time in Texas was special.

The wedding is getting closer, and my girl DeEdra took engagement pictures of Ashleigh and Fred, and of course I had tag a long (with my camera).  DeEdra is a rock star and I thank her so much for her being such a great friend.  Ashleigh and Fred were pretty stinking cute if I do say so myself….  Here are the ones I took while DeEdra was making magic happen.

I took a few pictures of brand new Charlie a couple weeks ago.  He was just fed and full, but still not thrilled that I was messing with him.  He is precious and so is his Mommy and Daddy.  Thanks guys, I feel so blessed to have taken these pictures.

Here are a few pictures I took of such a sweet kid and his cutie patootie girl.  These 2 are such good people and so cute together.  Tina, I will get these to you this weekend if you are around.

And my favorite 

I really can’t believe it has been 2 months since I have put a picture on here.  It is not like anything hasn’t happened.  I have some pictures I still need to post on here, like Sean’s graduation, Ashleigh trying on wedding dresses that she did not pick and pictures of my friends son and his girl, but I will do that later in the week; right now it is all about Gage.  On the 4th of July weekend, he spent some time with his Pa-Pa, who he just can’t get enough of and they spent some time doing what men do…

like taking walks…

he is running to his Omi…. 

The next few are just so adorable…   they were having a great conversation, which my sweety understood nothing of what Gage was trying to “say”, but what he got out of the conversation is that Gage loves him some    Pa-Pa. 

Yesterday was Gages birthday party.  He had a great time and one uninvited guest, but he was happy about that too….

Mommy got him a jump house for the day, he was exhausted by the end of the day…

He loves his Mommy..

and of course presents….

and it is not a party until you sneak some cake….

Here are a couple pictures of his cousin Gabriel, he is a cutie too….

Waiting for cake and everyone to stop singing to him

YAY, cake!!!!

It was a great day, he is such a sweet little guy, we love you little man.

I was lucky enough to take Cassie’s pictures for her 16th birthday and to tell you the truth, that seemed like yesterday.  Last week we went downtown to take her Senior pictures.  Time sure does fly and Cassie is a beautiful as ever….

Thanks Cassie…. 

Gage was here this weekend, we took him outside for some fresh air.  He was really fascinated by the cat.

He is just a precious boy

and my favorites, a conversation with Pa-Pa…. 

I wonder what they were talking about…..   

Here is another cute one of the kids,

And here is the entourage the went with us on the shoot   

and on of my new favorite pictures, my oldest favorite boy and my youngest favorite boy, it just makes me smile. 

I guess I can clean that up a bit, I have always told my kids they were my favorite (insert age here).  So they all know they are the fav!!  I love my family.

Ok, I know I am being obnoxious but what can I say, Sean and Shahanna are the cutest couple, and they were voted so at their senior prom.  I took some pictures before they went to dinner and they were troopers.

When we got done, her feet were hurting, so Ashleigh gave her a ”ride” back to the car. 

I hope they had big fun, and they really were voted the cutest couple, now you see why……
