Love my Cloward Clan: Missouri

    I first met Benita at my first local photographer’s networking dinner years ago, though we had mutual friends and my husband had met her before. When Im not teaching or presenting I tend to be a wallflower in large groups, and this was no exception. Not only did I admire her comfortable manner talking with everyone, I love how she didn’t seem intimidated by anyone. When I helped her...

Norman Baby Photographer || Sawyer 9 Months

Meet this little handsome man, 9 months old already!! Not only did I photograph his mommy and daddy’s wedding, but maternity, newborn, 3, and 6 months as well. Can’t wait for his 1 year session in just a few months! He is so very loved by his extended family… grandmas especially 🙂 🙂 I can’t wait to be a grandma– all the fun of babies (without all the responsibility!) He...

Gabby || Baby Photographer Norman, OK {Fife Photography}

What an exciting time this has been during this pregnancy. I’m watching my belly get larger, and feeling the obstacle more and more in PiYo class at the Y. I was so happy to see little Gabby come back– I shot her newborn session only 4+ months ago, and here she is already sitting up?! What a doll. She’s going places, I tell ya. Watch out world. I loved seeing...

Heaven lent us an angel || Fife Photography {Norman, OK}

We visited and made plans about our large group of children we oversee at our church, while I combed out and french braided Sarah’s hair to keep it from getting matted from the pillow.  As a...

Goodbye 2011!

Happy New Year!  This fall season has been one of the greatest growing experiences– taking on all shooting/teaching/mothering while my dear husband fully dedicated himself to his phd. Most wives have their husbands gone from 8-5 or later, but for me this was a BIG adjustment. Coordinating the kids around client meetings/shoots was like spinning 10 plates. I have been overwhelmed with blessings of being busy with clients and students...

Family Session: Casey & Julie Dick (favs)

First of all, let me tell you about the coolness of this photo shoot. Not only did baby E order terrific weather for the day, but we had these two friends along! They were hilarious. They were well behaved, and even looked in my general direction each time i called their names for the main family picture (see here). We did have a few other helpers also to watch over...
