Senior photos at the lake

When my nephew seems excited about his senior photos, the first thought through my head should be, "Am I prepared for this?" Next time, I will pack jeans, waterproof boots and lots of bug spray.  :)  He thought he was torturing me with the 15 foot steep embankment, the remote locations that required a truck to get to and the thick tall grass infested with horrible bugs that ate me alive.  But really I got to torture him with my crude humor and bad jokes.  Even though he really did not want to smile, he did eventually crack because in the end, I always win.... :)

Wilson Family

Such a beautiful family and a beautiful home.  Wilson family, it was a pleasure meeting you.  The session went so smoothly with so many good photos.  I had a really hard time choosing my favorites.  And, I do think that the blue outfits were the perfect choice.  They really complimented the pool and backyard area. ;)

Taylor's Senior Session Part 2

I headed to my hometown last weekend, spent time with family and took lots of photos. :)  This time around, Taylor and I concentrated mostly on sports photos.  It is always fun to see my old high school.  Things look a little different, buildings have been added but it is still essentially the same.  Ahhh...it seems just like yesterday...

Miss T is 18 months

The youngest in the Bachelor family is 18 months old already.  I'm not sure what I'll do if I am not taking photos every few months for this family.  I guess I might have to make a regular social call without the camera. ;)

Growing by two feet

It is such a privilege to watch families grow and change from year to year.  When I met the Hess family last year, I got to literally photograph their little one's first steps.  Now Miss 'S' is two years old and getting ready to be a big sister. :)

And here she is from last year, taking those first steps...

Casual Family Portraits

Like they all say, kids grow up so fast. In a blink of an eye, they are grown and starting their own families. It is so amazing to be able to document a part of what it means to be a family from the formal portraits to the casual candid photos. Keremy, as always, it was good to see you and the kids again. Michael, hopefully we will get some photos of you one of these times too. :)
