Lakean's senior pictures.....take II

Lakean was the first person to trust me with taking her pictures.  I've learned some new things since that first photo shoot and I wanted to take some more pictures and repay the favor.  As you can see, it's not that hard to get great looking pictures from her.  I still have a few crazy ideas if I can talk her into one more photo shoot.  That's the great thing about Lakean - she's always up for anything.  Keep checking back for Lakean - take III!

This one is my new favorite!! I love the sun peeking through and her reflection in the bus.

I had the chance to work with the birthday princess Bailey.  She just had her 3rd birthday celebration.  She thought she looked beautiful in her pedicoat...and she did.  By the end of the photo shoot, she had gathered a crowd of admirers.  Happy Birthday Bailey!

Yeah, that's right.  Read the sign!

Holden will never be the same

The title should be what happens in Holden, stays in Holden.  We were blessed to be able to take vacation with two of our favorite families and get to know one more family very well.  We were overtaken by children on this trip.  Let me just set the picture for you.  One beach house, four bedrooms, four families, nineteen people, and a messed up air conditioner all set to the theme song Hey Freddy, Hey Victor. Don't feel bad if you don't know what song I'm talking about.  I didn't know it until the trip.  Google it.  It's worth the time :) Warning! This tune will be forever engrained in your brain and never go away.

 This is a picture of the Owen's family.  As you can tell, pink is the theme color.  But don't overlook the splash of blue.  If you look close enough, you may see that there's hair on some of those toes.  Roger just wanted to be a team player for this picture.  I think this is one of those instances that should have been left in Holden.  Thank goodness I had the camera handy. Thanks Roger.

I just can't help but sing the song I hope you dance when I look at this picture. I know a mommy wrote that song!

The Adkins family

Some of the faces that belong to the pink toes.

Shy but not really

This family is one of my favorites!  I love them so much.  They live in Florida and I miss them so bad.  I didn't have a lot of time to take pictures while they were in because we spent most of our time catching up and playing with the each other's new additions - Mac and Aaron.   I love you guys.  You are as beautiful inside as you are outside!

Hello world, I'm Aaron!

Shana and Reid

I had such a blast taking these pictures. Shana and Reid, you guys were such fun. I have so many new favorites!

Pigmi goats and a monster jeep

That's all that was on Jake's mind Thursday - Pigmi goats and monster jeeps. I'll put some pictures on here of the goats and jeep later just for Jake. I had such a blast taking these pictures. I couldn't decide so I put a few on here. It was just really hard to choose. A special thanks goes out to Brian for being such a good sport. Thanks Brian :)

What a little handsome cutie!

The camera loves you Brian

My girls

This is Hannah. She's my neice and I think I captured her true, fun self in this picture with Sophia. Life is always fun when Hannah's around.

Such a serious look, but gorgeous.

My baby girl.

Fuzzy hair

If you could just imagine how humid and hot it was the day we took these pictures. There was sweat rolling and makeup melting. These guys were troopers!

I just love love love this picture. It's one of my favorites. Jordan could care less. She just wanted flowers.

Everybody wanted in the creek by the end of this session.

My babies :)

Here are my babies. I just had to show them off a little bit.

If you look close you can still see the squash on his little cheeks

I love this picture. This is one of my favorite outfits so I had to get it on film.

Some friends of Opia

Here are a few pictures of Crystal and her kids Aleah and Kersten. I wish I had some way to put Aleah's voice on here. I could just have her talk to me all day long! She calls Sophia - Opia. And don't try to correct her because she will correct you. It's Opia!

Check out those dimples!

This was one of those rare occasions that I caught them both smiling at the same time. I just had to put this one in here.

Puddin'

Well I guess the proof is in the pudding so here are some of my favorite shots of Lakean-my second daughter. I just hope that doesn't obligate me to foot the bill for college.
