Baby Davis

Hello World!  

Welcome baby Davis!

Just sharing a few of my faves of this precious baby boy!  It only took 2 sessions to get some great photos of Davis.  A tiny someone does not like getting his photo taken... but you'd never know looking at these photos! His mommy and I worked together to snap these shots.   Enjoy!

And my absolute favorite....

On the Blog today....the Rodkey family!

The Rodkeys!  

Dee Ann and my mother have known each other since grade school in Norman and have stayed great friends throughout college, marriage, and motherhood.  Our families even lived on the same cul de sac in Edmond when we were just little ones.  While we have lots of memories together, a few fond memories I have spending time with this family...1. fun times swimming at the neighborhood pool.  2. All of us getting the dreaded chicken pox at the same time.  And lastly 3. I will never forget the time Lara and I got in trouble after we thought it was a good idea to play barber shop and give each other haircuts.  To this day, I have not had bangs and feel sure I will never pull them off.  Ok I'm pretty sure my hair cowlick has also contributed to this so Lara, you're off the hook!  

I'm so thankful the weather cooperated with us just days after Christmas to allow this photoshoot to be outside.  It was absolutely gorgeous out and really allowed some variety for the shoot!  It was so much fun photographing this family, meeting the newest addition to the family (Sam's lovely wife) and catching up.  

Enjoy!

Tis the Season!

The Christmas season is always hectic and sneaks up on me every year (no matter how much I try to prepare for it), but I love it.  Might I clarify the Christmas season for me begins immediately following Thanksgiving day but not before.  Bob and I have a tradition of putting up the tree and decor while watching a marathon of our favorite Christmas movies.  Our top favorites include Christmas Vacation, The Family Stone, Four Christmases,  Elf, Home Alone and The Santa Claus. 

While I don't love the bitter cold temperatures of winter or waiting for my car to heat up, I do enjoy sitting in my living room with a lit Christmas tree and festive  decor, a fire, good smelling Christmas candles and a cup of hot tea or glass of wine.   My husband and I started dating around this time of year (right before Thanksgiving to be exact) so it brings back fond memories of fun dates, talking on the phone for hours, surprise visits and walking around in the cold looking at Christmas lights.  The season also reminds me of how thankful and blessed I am for the life I have.  I'm grateful for all my wonderful friends and family and the joy they bring to my life.  I can only hope I am enriching and impacting others' lives as they have enriched and impacted mine.  

May you take time this season to count your blessings!  God Bless!
