Friends led me to this fantastic site to take pictures. I loved it so much that I hustled Mr. T right over there for his session.

There are so many different great spots at this location that I was quickly moving him from spot after spot. Between the heat and being blinded by a reflector being used as a bug swatter, I'm sure he was ready to have me stop long before I did. He was such a great sport and we got some super shots to show for it.

Here's just a few with more to come soon of Mr. T as well as others at this site!

The O'Meara Family Reunion Album is up!

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of recording the 2008 O'Meara family reunion.

All four of these girls and their mother either are or have been on my swim team. I've watched the girls grow from toothless darlings to tremendous beauties so it was doubly pleasurable for me to be a part of their day. Click on the O'Meara Reunion link to the right to see the entire album.

Summer seems a bit Crazy instead of lazy but we are finding

time to kick back. The trick seems to be to kick way back in the

moments that we find. Here's a little guy watching a little

guy cousin buddy at our family reunion.

Senior Time

Here's my first senior of the season. She's so beautiful! I had so much fun with her and her friend that tagged along. The rest of the session will be added to the links on the right soon under Allen. If you know of any other seniors wanting portraits taken, I still have some spokes model spots open as well as several regular senior spots.

Waiting on little Miss

Pregnancy is exciting and special and even more so in the last few weeks. This soon to arrive bundle has been waited on and dreamed about by her parents for a long time reminding us that every life is a precious gift. I feel very privileged to have been part of preserving this special moment in her life as well as her parent's. See the Harvey link for more 'in waiting' photos.

Slammer Jammer!

Mr. C loves his bball. Now that the NBA finals are

over, he's been playing 1/2 court against his

Mom and Dad. Sometimes he even takes us both

on at the same time. Trouble is, he still beats us every

time.

More swimteam! They are so darn cute!

Come Fly with us!

Summer is officially here! Swim team is in full swing. Tomorrow we go to Minden for the second meet of the season. We were able to get into the pool all five days this week and the swimmers are looking good. These two young ladies have been on my team longer than their age would suggest because they started as little tiny things just barely able to fit into the smallest team suit. Look at them now all grown up. They're beautiful on the inside and out which makes a Mom..biological or fill-in proud. But, its also kind of sad how fast time goes.
If we can stay dry for more than one day, I'll have some actual swimming pictures and then baseball pictures soon!

Memorial Weekend Fun

My family and I had a great time Memorial weekend first at Yanney Park and then Dancing Leaf earth lodge. They are both well worth your time.

Meet the Mendoza family. I had the honor of taking their very first family portrait.
