Dance, Dance, Dance...

I absolutely adore this family at my son's dance studio that we have had the pleasure of working with for the last couple of seasons. When we changed studios in the middle of the year dancer 'F' volunteered to add another duet just so we could get a taste of what the competition dance world was like. This past season was our first full season and second at the studio...Ryan loves it there!

We missed the opportunity to get duet photos so the 'H' family stopped out at the studio after dance.

This was a jazz duet to "What I Like About You"...

The two sisters 'F' and 'T' did an awesome duet to "Take me or leave me"

We also captured just a few of 'T' while 'F' was changing for the next set of pics...she has such beautiful eyes!

I'm really going to miss this musical theater number to "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better"...it perfectly sums up their relationship! It's like a good natured oil and water mix and they love to tease each other!

The 'W' Family

It was wonderful to meet such a warm and genuine family! I'm glad that we had a chance to photograph their adorable children! It was a very warm and humid evening but they all seemed to enjoy exploring their new surroundings. I also definitely have to thank the 'W' family for being patient with me as I caught up with all of my sessions! There were so many good ones that it was really hard to choose what to put on the blog...enjoy your preview!

This is one of my favorites from the session...it's just absolutely adorable! Sisterly love...

Niece 'K's Engagement

Once again I'm playing catch up with the blog. It seems that I go in phases when we are in between seasons. We did this engagement session with my niece earlier this spring and I just didn't have a chance to get it posted until now... might have had something to do with all of the preparations for photographing the wedding!

If you read far enough back on our blog you'll see that I say that I don't do weddings. This was the time that we did an outdoor wedding for a super convincing couple! The photos turned out wonderful but a large church wedding was a completely different story...let alone both my kids being in the wedding! Stay tuned for the wedding photos but enjoy this for now...we had a lot of fun visiting new locations and watching the interaction between the two!

Sweet Baby 'T'

Remember the couple expecting their first baby...well here he is at 3 months! I'm so glad that they decided to bring him to the studio. After doing the maternity session I just kept thinking about them and we finally got together. He's such a sweet baby and we had fun doing a family session for them. Isn't he cute?

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!

A 50th wedding anniversary is such a special event! Senior 'M's family celebrated by coming together from all over and took the opportunity to get updated family pics. I hope that you enjoyed the time that you got to spend with each other on that wonderful river excursion. Glad to see that the weather cooperated for you!

Here's a peek at the special couple and few other favorites from the day...it was hard to choose and I have more to come soon!

I just adored this little fellow and the serious expression on his face...not to mention those big blue eyes!

Senior 'J's Family at the Lake

We met Senior 'J's family at their house and after a little adventure finally got started with the pics. We took a few by the house and then walked over to their dock at the lake. The session wouldn't have been complete without a rather large snake in our path and a final jump in the lake pic...that water was absolutely freezing!

I'm glad that we were able to get these last few pics of Senior 'J'. We tried to do these in the fall but work on the lake and dam prevented us from getting out there.

This is a page in Senior 'J's album and an awesome filmstrip of that jump in the lake. I still can't believe he jumped in that freezing water!
