Can you believe this momma’s 38 weeks pregnant???  I am grateful for this pretty lady. Our friendship began years ago when she was originally planning her wedding, and hired us to be her wedding photographer. Alas, those plans were delayed, but in the meantime she chose me to photograph her little princess and took photography classes from us! She’s a quick learner and i enjoyed getting to know her better. ...

This adorable family got up at the crack of dawn to meet me for some great morning shots. We wanted to beat the heat in the last days of summer. And it was perrrrfect. Just up the street from my Studio in Norman, OK, i love shooting at this park!   The littlest man is in one of my favorite newborn images ever… and on my business cards! Can’t believe...

One of my friends from growing up in New York has started an incredibly beautiful and unique business…. with peacock feathers! I am continually stunned by Cindy’s creativity and new fresh colors and combinations. Perfect to add a flair on your wedding day or night on the town, these little beauties are elegantly crafted. Being a newborn-obsessed photographer, I even found a way to incorporate into newborn props… the possibilities...

This week we have an image by Kristin, of a stadium near and dear to Norman-ites: University of Oklahoma! 🙂 Great job. The assignment was interruption of patterns. Kristin chose to make the image powerful by centering the top dark area in the center of the frame, with the bleachers seemingly pouring down towards the camera. With such symmetry, the eye is drawn to first the interruption of the dark...

Our “back to school” September Photo Basics class is doing great. And we only have 2 spots left for Photo Basics 2 in October! Here’s one homework set from this week that i want to share with you! For this assignment, they chose to focus on something near, and then on something farther away in about the same location. Hilary chose this beautiful … sunporch is it? It makes me want...

Oh heavenly days, is it almost the end of August? I can’t believe my last post was in June!! My poor little blog. I am thrilled to say i am past the point of wanting to curl up in a ball with morning sickness! Whew. Thought it would get the best of me, and it nearly did. But i am back to my normal self, minus a bit of growth...

Have you missed me??  I can explain!! I have a great reason… one that’s getting bigger every day.  We’re going to have a baby!! Fife baby #3 is due just after Christmas.  We are so grateful and excited, and i have my first appointment tomorrow afternoon to hear little one’s heartbeat. I’m thrilled. We didn’t have to wait quite as long this time. I have been sooooo tired and nauseous...

Little did i know when Blair came for photo class months ago at our photography studio in Norman, Oklahoma, that she would come back for Newborn Portraits with her adorable little bundle of joy! Grandma even got to come and watch us cuddle and pose and model this sweet angel. She fed down at her house, slept the whole way here, and slept through the whole session!! She was amazing!...

This cute senior’s mom found me online searching for Senior Photography in Norman, Oklahoma. Do i have an awesome husband or what? He did a great job with our SEO in designing our site. Thanks hon! 🙂  We started the session in my storefront studio on the east side of Norman, which i am Soooooo glad we did. We’re fresh in tornado season, and Oklahoma wind was showing it’s strength!...

**don’t worry…. these are ramblings, but there is eye candy at the end!** Sooo… according to my earlier revelation, i have just blogged when i can… i have over 30 sessions to blog about, and cool musings to explore. But i have made an important decision this week.  To say NO.  Not completely, of course. I couldn’t live without taking photos. But i have chosen to put my FAMILY FIRST....
