No Tricks & Lots of Treats!

FREEZE! DON'T MOVE! Well, if Ty doesn't make it to the majors in baseball....I'm pretty sure he has another career choice in mind! Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Didn't make it to the doc today!

Ty and I are sick.....so we had to cancel Ty's appointment today. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for us! We will be rescheduling his appointment - so I will be sure to keep you posted on what happens!

Upcoming Doctor Visit

Well, this upcoming Monday Ty has a follow-up appointment with his urologist from Children's Mercy. They are going to do another ultra-sound on his bladder/kidney area. He has what's called "Bladder Reflux." Basically, when he goes to the bathroom and the urine leaves his bladder....some of the urine doesn't expel like it should and it goes back up into his bladder. This causes bladder infections (which is very uncommon for little boys). The long term effect is kidney damage. The doctor is hoping that Ty will have "grown out of it" by now....which is why we are having the test done again to see if it's gotten any better. Ty is scared to death of doctors.....so I am NOT looking forward to this visit.

Keep us in your prayers......cause Ty's mommy doesn't do well at the doctor's office either when Ty gets really upset. It totally stresses me out. But I am going to keep my thoughts on a family I know who's 5 month old just had heart surgery yesterday. Baby Slayton is doing really well post-surgery today. The strength this family has is remarkable. Please keep them in your prayers as well. What a fighter!!!

Cowboy Take Me Away!

So in love

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

!
You know Ty is thinking...."Mom, please, I'm a big boy....why are you making me do this??!!"
Ty and Uncle Clint
He is the such a preppy farmer, isn't he?
Bridget and Adelyn

We went to the pumpkin patch with our very good friends! We had a great time!

Props can be so much fun!

The "accessories" in these pictures weren't planned.....during the middle of our session, these children found my props and started playing around. It made for some cute pictures! It's soooooo in the moment!

Heartbreakers

Sweet 6 month old

Fabulous session, fabulous friends!

Another Great Fall Festival!

The weather couldn't have been better for the Fall Festival this year! It was a busy 3 day event...and I handed out a lot of business cards! I thought it would be fun to show you what my booth looked like!

Hey Brooke....here they are!

Here is gorgeous Brooke......I can't believe she is a Senior already! I have many favorite images from her session....but the first picture ROCKS!

Olivia's newborn session

Precious....that's the only word to describe this sweetie. She was 11 days old when she came to see me. Look at how tiny she is!

Christmas is just around the corner!

My calendar is getting crazy busy already! YEAH! And just so everyone knows....my schedule is booking up fast....and I will be at the Liberty Fall Festival next weekend (where people book on the spot). Sooooooo....if you are thinking about having your family pictures done for Christmas, I highly encourage you to contact me before next weekend. I can't promise to give you your 1st choice in scheduling a date - so please have a few dates in mind. Weekends go first - so if you can (by chance) - do a session during the week - it would be great!

If you want pictures back before Christmas, all sessions must take place before Nov 30th!

Christmas is closer than you think! Can't wait to hear from you!!!!

And a handsome little prince he is....

Yes, this is me dressed up as Cinderella (thanks Tracy for letting me keep this costume for so long). I had a special request to attend a "princess" party for some 6 year old girls. We even took a ride on the Cinderella carriage at the Plaza. It was so cute because they really thought I was Cinderella and I live in a castle! Well, unfortunately I'm not Cinderella....and I don't live in a castle....but I sure do have an awesome prince by my side (really, I have two awesome princes but the bigger one had to take our picture)!

For the love of the game

The Royals are winding down for the season - it's a sad time at our household because baseball is coming to an end. We are hopeful the Royals will be more successful next year. Here is Ty supporting our favorite hometown team.

My little stud

You know how the plumber has leaky faucets? Well, I'm the photographer who doesn't have pictures of her own child! Not really, but I am only running about 3 months behind on taking his 3 year picture! He is gonna break some hearts someday.....wouldn't you agree? Here he is posing with his famous "A-Rod" bat, mommy's favorite sweatshirt, and our awesome "pretty girl" Ali.

I love my daddy!

My brother, my friend!

Adleigh is turning 1!

I have had the pure joy of photographing this sweet baby girl ever since she was born! It's hard to believe a year has already gone by! Happy Birthday Adleigh!

Baby Ty is pure sweetness

Lil' Diva!

Yep, he's a stud at only 6 months!

Chase is turning 2!

This sweet little man has so much energy....I don't think we got him to sit still for more than 5 seconds at a time! But we got some great images of him! AND LOOK AT THOSE CURLS!!!! His mommy and daddy are so awesome - I just love this family to pieces!

For Rocky

Very rarely, do I do a portrait that makes me cry (in a sad way, that is). My dear friends have a very sick Black Lab named Rocky. We decided to do a portrait of the family with Rocky - and it turned out beautiful.
