Happy Birthday Miss Addison!

One of my favorite little girls is turning 1! Here are a couple images from her birthday session!

I'm gonna toot my own horn

I don't ever toot my own horn, but I just have to today! I just received the NICEST card in the mail today from a new client I got to do pictures for this past week. I just have to share it with you all! I hope that what she says is true for all of my clients. I truly try to make my home welcoming and I hope that when I do your pictures, you feel the same way she does! Here it is:

"Brandi,
We just wanted to thank you again for fitting us into your schedule and for being so kind and patient with our little Ty. We were both a little nervous and you were so open, warm and gracious that we both left your home feeling like we had known you for years and looking forward to seeing you again. We are very excited to see the photos and look forward to years of wonderful photos of us and our family. God has blessed us in so many ways and has blessed us again by bringing such a genuinely nice person into our lives. Thank you again. We enjoyed meeting you and your Ty. He is a very darling, well mannered young man. Sincerely, Jason and Shannon."

So it's been awhile!

I know, I know....I haven't posted pics in awhile! It's been crazy around our house (like it always is)! I PROMISE I will get some new pics posted in the next day or two so you all can see what I've been up to!

We started practice for Fall Ball. YEAH, baseball is back! Our team has some new faces and it's really fun to see the kids interact. Bobby started his new shift at SCPD (dogwatch) and it's going wonderful! He really likes it and it's nice to know in the back of my mind that his patrol is so close to our home.

I am getting ready for my fall & Christmas rush! I love this time of year because the temperatures are cooling down and it's fun to get outside to do sessions!

I will post more on this in the next couple weeks....but for those of you who are thinking Christmas pictures, cards, etc.....start looking at your calendar and give me a call! I already have people booking and the days will fill up fast! If you are wanting the Fall leaves....historically, mid-late October/early November has been the prettiest.

We hope everyone is doing great! Enjoy the rest of your week!

It's Senior ' 09 time!

Seniors are so much fun to photograph....and this natural beauty made my job easy!

Beautiful family portrait

What a beautiful family at this fabulous location! They are such great people and their little boy is always full of smiles! We also did a studio session about a week before their outdoor session.....so here is a sneak peek of both!!!

I am ADORABLE!

Baby Tre is the sweetest thing.....he was such a good sport even though our session was late in the evening! He wanted to play with all of Miss Brandi's cool studio props....so once we finally got him cornered onto the studio, I had to be FAST before he crawled off to explore around again! I love Tre's family to pieces!

Family updates

We had a great week....it was pretty uneventful for the most part. The hot temperatures have kept our activities pretty low-key. I took Ty to the pool the other day and we had a lot of fun. We also found out that Bobby's transfer to SCPD was accepted and he will be working dog-watch starting this week! We are really excited about it....it will give Bobby the opportunity to help coach Ty's baseball team and be at most of the practices and games. I'm sure it will be an adjustment for all of us getting used to his new sleep schedule. We will manage....we always do!

Hope everyone has a great week! Look like the temps might cool off a bit- I sure hope so!

Love is...

My sweet Danielle....it seems like yesterday when I did your SENIOR pictures! Now, you are getting married! Time goes by too fast!

Wonderful Children!!!

Yes, these are triplets....they just turned 2! They were the cutest, sweetest, and most well-behaved children to photograph! I didn't have to pull out my bag of tricks to get them to smile....they simply followed directions from mommy, daddy and I ....and they did everything we wanted them to! It was so much fun to work with them - and I got BIG hugs from the kiddos when we were all done.....it was a great feeling to know that they thought Miss Brandi was pretty cool!
