Caleb.

My friend Stephanie brought her boys over yesterday so I took the opportunity to get some pictures.  Caleb is the best baby, you know the kind that make you want to have another...the snuggly,giggly, gerber type of baby.   But fortunately I get to play with him all the time and give him back to Steph so no need for more.  Ever.  Period.  I love my monkeys and they are all I need :) 

Sleep Wake.

As a photographer, I find myself always thinking about different creative projects I could take on.  Something different than portrait work.  I plan on starting my photo a day project January 1st, but that's been done.  Today I ran across Meredith Andrews Sleep/Wake project.  I loved it for many reasons.  Most of us might think it's just funny. I think it's genius and gutsy.  She basically woke people up in the morning and took portraits of them.  The truth is that we all look pretty bad in the morning and if you think you don't, prove it to me.  I'll be over about 7am with my Nikon ;)

Woolaroc

We recently ventured up north about 50 miles or so to Woolaroc.  I have to admit that I wasn't to thrilled about seeing buffalo roam free or smell buffalo burgers cooking or see indian artifacts.  I did see an opportunity for a family photo opt so we loaded up and headed north.  Well, I have to admit it was a blast.  The scenery was beautiful and the museum was surprisingly fun.  I don't remember that when I was school and we visited Woolaroc for a field trip.  Of course, it was for school and so I was probably more interested in boys and hanging out with my friends.  Who knows. Bottom line, if you live near there, go there.  I did not eat a buffalo burger although I've heard it's much healthier than beef and all buffalo are grass fed which makes it cheaper than grass fed beef.  Bleh!  Im sorry, but they're just too ugly to eat.

This is how the kids enjoyed the view...head out the window and sunroof. I can hear the wee woo's right now.

Then off to my new favorite location.  Sorry, it's a secret :)

Baby Reece.

This beautiful girl did not want to sleep.  Her parents are clients of Tristan's and so that's how we met.  I brought my sis-in-law along for help and we all worked hard to get this beautiful girl to sleep.  She did, but not for long.  There is nothing funnier than watching 4 grown up women doting over a newborn and seeing the things they do to keep a baby asleep.  At times, it wasn't pretty, but mom and grandma were so wonderful and helpful and Celeste gave me much needed moral support.  Oh, and fortunately, Miss Reece was such a charmer and was patient with us the wholetime.  She just didn't want to miss anything.  Neither did Duke, their bull dog!

  

Ava and Catherine

I have been photographing these beautiful girls since the little one was 2 weeks old.  I met them and there beautiful parents at Southern Hills for a fall photo session 2 weeks ago.  The weather was perfect and so were the girls.  I'm really looking forward to our next session together!

Miss Ruby Sue...

my adorable dog niece had an impromptu mini session a few weeks ago.  Girl can pose.  That's all I can say.  She has the sweetest little face and longest little legs.  A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E.

Grandparent's Day.

The 2nd grade had a special performance and Bella played the xylophone. It was pretty cute!  Jude managed to sneak paw paw away for some donuts in the cafeteria after the performance and then got granny and dad into the library for some book buying.  Thanks dad and granny for coming!
