Sentimental Sunday

Meet Susan (center) and family. Mom, Lilly on her right and dear daughter, Monica, to Susan's left.

Sunday was a special day since it's been a little while since the whole family has had a chance to get together.

Lilly and her sister, Betty.

Okay, yeah and Molly, Susan's precious dog. Well she is part of the family, come on now!

Enter "H". She's Lilly's grandchild and Susan's niece.

You see "H" is from out of town visiting this week with her Mom. Sunday was a special day to spend time with the whole family and get some nice portraits from me, the photog.

Hmm, not gonna happen exactly how we all thought.

"H" had an entirely different photo shoot in mind this day. I think she's been watching Amereica's Funniest Home Videos in her spare time and was determined to to do the equivalent for still photos. Did I mention she's 3 years old??

So...plan B was to start working on the cooperative members of the family. Hee hee.


Meet "H's" mom, Brandy.


Aww, Molly (come on, say it with me: Awwwww Molleeeee).

Of course Susan and hubby, Roy, were ready for their close ups.

With the clock running down, we resorted to relaxing with a little art therapy.

By this time they were having so much fun I was ready to put my camera down and join them.

But I'm nothing if not persistent and I was able to get a few of that beautiful face close up.

Update 05-23-09! Brandy and "H" were able to come into the studio for a few more shots. We had a great time!

"H" had more fun looking for my cats than getting serious about posing, but she came through for me!

The Best Birthday Party Ever!

Oh how I love event shooting. Here we have another birthday party thrown by the queen of theme birthday party ideas, Tonya R.

Okay, so yeah, it seems like the typical 10 year old's party now....but just wait. You haven't seen anything yet.

Knowing how to look good just comes naturally to this little group.

If you haven't already guessed, this is a glamor shots theme party.

And who better to style hair and put on make-up than our own Miss Tonya?

Miss E was not to be out done even though her idea of a prom type dress was basically just her every day attire. (Although loading herself down with bangles and bobbles went a long way in maximizing her chic-ness).

Some of the younger set decided that accessorizing (with restraint) was the only way to go.

Stunning!

Absolutely amazing!

Cover girls for sure!

And I'll leave you with the birthday girl herself.

Farmer's Market Wedding OKC

Farmer's Market is an amazing building in down town Oklahoma City that has been around for 80 years. It just happens to be the venue for this weeks wedding!

Ashley made a stunning bride!

Of course Jake is no slouch himself.

In fact all the guys were happy to accommodate me for photos!

As you can see, even the little ones were gearing up for a serious shooting session. Yeah, I was their new best friend and they could not do enough for me. Hee hee.

Guys, they make these events long just so I can get the all the photos.

Are their rings not fabulous?!

Aww, first dance.

Father/daughter dance.

Toasting the happy couple!

It's official! (Doesn't the minister look like a young Robert Goulet?!)

Okay, we're going to jump to the end here. (Psst, sparklers and muggy weather don't mix....just in case ya didn't know.)

Holy smokes! Finally!

Making the exit.
