Ethan puts his hata blockers on

Ethan had me laughing-Ive never seen a kid actually like wearing sunglasses!
Good thing we gave them to him at the end of the shoot because the did not want to take them off :)
Along with those baby blues and juicy lips, he is a cutie!

Stokes + Summertime

Had a great time with Tash, Jeremy & Dakota Stokes this weekend.
Lil Dakota turns 1 soon so we celebrated by taking pictures of that gorgeous face of his. Grandma & Grandpa were a huge help behind the scenes singing, bouncing and making all sorts of faces to get him to smile for me.

A Still Small Voice

There are moments where a thought will pass through your mind and you allow it to be just that, a passing thought.
And then there are moments where you to tune in and realize that thought might me bigger than you and ought to be acted on.

In June a client of mine was diagnosed with a rare type of breast cancer.
She had a 12 week old baby girl Brooke, a 5 year old son Brady and husband Brett. This hit close to home for me because I myself was pregnant and couldn't image the agony of facing cancer with a newborn.
July 1st I woke up with my baby next to me thinking about Terri and what her day must be like and just as I was about to get up I thought "she is on my heart for a reason".
I emailed her with all I really have to offer- a photo shoot and you will read her message back to me below.
Sometime we hear a still small voice and when we allow it to be an action and not a thought, thats when God comes in.


"Krystle - tears are streaming down my face right now. I have had a yearning in my heart to get pictures...but we are not only in a health crisis but huge financial crisis as well. I didn't even pray about this because it was so far down my list right now...yet God knew my heart...why am I surprised at how much he cares for me!!!!! I also wanted to do pictures before I lost my hair...the doctors tell me it is necessary...I would love more then anything to have a family photo shoot, it would mean the world!!!!I can't wait to tell Brett!!!!! God is good!

Hayden Paige is a big girl now!

Hard to believe this little girl is 2 already.
I remember the day she was born and now she is walking and talking!
Loved the shots we got of her with the owl hat and that big ol' toothy smile :)
