Payten & Kiana- August Cutest Kid

I have to say in five years of photography I have never met two girls as sweet as Payten and Kiana. They were such a JOY to work with. Payten and Kiana stole our hearts when we saw their pictures entered in our cutest Kids Contest for August.



Kiana (pretty in pink) was such a doll and she made me giggle all afternoon. We played in the rain and picked flowers and she was very thrilled when I sang her favorite song "Twinkle, twinkle little star!"





Darling Payten, she was so sweet and gentle. She has the most stunning eyes, and captivating personality!

Tis the Season

Say "NO!" to Jelly Receipts-and "YES!" to Call Me Cards

I am on the go with two kids in tow, but I love meeting new moms and having play dates. There have been so many times I have meet a new friend and I would love to give her my contact info. I feel so cheesy scribbling down my phone number on an old receipt I just happen to find at the bottom of my diaper bag. Although the sticky jelly substance stuck to the shrivel of receipt is sure to leave a lasting impression on my new friend, I want something with a little more chic style. Introducing the "Call Me Card" for busy families on the GO!




These cards are great for moms on the go, MOPS moms, or even families in ministry. If your constantly meeting new people and would love to give them a classy way to contact you, "Call Me Cards" are perfect for you!
Be among the first 5 moms to order and YOUR card will be completely CUSTOM designed for your family for FREE! No templates just your colors and your family for inspiration! (or choice from some of our pre-made designs!)

With its business card style, this card is for your family, personalized with your phone numbers, e-mail address, or even the birthdates of your kids! Add a little more flare and personality by adding silly quotes from your kids or even a style statement. I always want to remember that at age two my daughter Leiliah: Loves: Dancing, little bugs and her flip flops Hates: Apple skin, having her hair brushed, getting out of the bath.

Size: 3 in x 4 in

Wolfgang Family

My dear friend Allie (with whom I have done several shoots with including her pregnancy session) bought a photography session for Jenna for her baby shower gift.
Jenna wanted to wait and use it once her son was sitting up and smiling.
Aren't they the cutest family? Their style is so relaxed and I had so much fun shooting this little guy. Ryker James Wolfgang. Just his name says "rock star" don't you think?

I Love these window shoots. I can't deceide which one is my favorite. Jenna is just as gorgeous in person. She is gentle and loving, being a mother comes so naturally to her. It is really beautiful to watch her love on Ryker.
I love how dad's always have a special way of making their kids giggle. Jason had all sorts of fun games that were a sure thing in getting Ryker's attention. It was so fun to watch them play. I could tell they must have played those games 100 times, and each time Ryker would light up with glee.
He made the CUTEST faces. Such a sweet boy.




This one is my favorite.
