Fall Family Sessions

We've been SOOOO busy photographing Fall Sessions this season. The foliage is FINALLY turning and with LOTS of leaves on the ground . . .it really lends itself nicely to family sessions.

We had so much fun with this family. I had the opportunity to photograph little "L" when she was still crawling . . . .and now she's gotten so big and has a new little brother. I really had a great time with this family :)

Broken Arrow Seniors

We're finally wrapping up senior season . . .it's been longer than usual this year.

In the past week, we've photographed several Broken Arrow seniors . . .here are just a couple.

The first is Jessica. She'll graduate from BA in '08. Her urban session ended at the waterfall.

The second is Sydnie . . .ALSO a BA senior graduating in '08. Sydnie & Jessica also happen to be best friends :)

Rachel & David

We sooooo enjoy photographing weddings and one of the things I love the most, is the engagement session. Rachel & David will be marrying later this month at the Golf Club of Oklahoma . . .so it's there that we did their engagement session earlier this week. . .and did they EVER come prepared!!!!! From their elegant clothing and David's guitar to the bottle of champaign they enjoyed together on the green.

Dakota . . .

I LOVE that name!!!! :) Dakota's session was one of the more unique sessions we've photographed. We arrived downtown Friday evening . . .and suddenly realized . . .D'Fest was soon to be in full swing and many of the roads and locations we often used were barricaded. Her dad invited us to do a few images at his law firm which was SOOOO much fun :D . . .before we headed to the waterfall.

Dakota will be graduating Jenks High School in 2008 :)

Casie

This is Casie . . .yet another Broken Senior for 2008. After a number of "rain outs" . . .we FINALLY had the session. I had so much fun with Casie on Wednesday night, going to a number of places in downtown Tulsa . . .she even brought along a friend. Here's one of my favorites . . .

Is there anything more beautiful than motherhood???

My four children have filled my life with so much joy, I wouldn't have thought in a million years that anything could be better . . .until this past week . . .my first grandchild was born!!!!

Layla was born at 9:29am on the morning of July 19. She was 7lbs. 7oz. and 22 in. long. It was just the beautiful moment . . .everyone in the room including the doctor & nurses were crying. There's just something magical about watching one's "little girl" become someone's mommy. It was a life changing moment for all of us and I just had to share it with you :)

This is Layla . . .

I took this photograph just after she had her "official hospital photo" . . .she'll have her first REAL session tomorrow . . .so be sure and check back . . .Layla's destined to be the most photographed baby in Tulsa :D

I can't tell you how much fun with had with this session. Kortney and her cousin Chris (who will also be graduating from Broken Arrow . . .booked their session together because they wanted a few of two of them. So we began downtown and ended up at the waterfall.
