The beautiful Gwen...Part 1...

Gwenevere is my best friends daughter! I was there when she was born. I remember that day vividly, as I'm sure Rachael does as well! :) It was a very exciting and scary day! On October 8, 1999, this beautiful little baby was born to two wonderful and loving parents. Fast forward to today and wow! What a beauty she has grown to be...inside & out! Gwen recently got contacts and is about to venture into the world of braces....and Jr. High! So Rachael wanted to capture Gwen, exactly as she is right now. Before these new and exciting stages of her life start!

To say that Gwen did great is a huge understatement! Not only is she breathtaking and beautiful, but very comfortable in front of the camera. She had a great time posing and never tired. She never even tried to run away when I made her stand in the middle of the spider infested ivy or when the nats were attacking us. Tropper Gwen to the rescue!

I took many photos. The location was beautiful, the light yummy and the model so fun. So please bare with me as there will be several parts to Gwen's pictures! As the shoot got underway, we both became more comfortable and the pictures got better and better. So here is the first stage of shots that we took when we first arrived...


























Thank you so much for looking and stay tuned for a few more posts over the next two weeks! Gwen & Rae...I hope you love them! I love you both very much! OXXO

The Ward Family...Part 1...

My dear friend and fellow photo Amanda from amwphoto did a family photo swap this last weekend while they were in town for Thanksgiving. We had SO much fun! I've gotten half way through and wanted to put up a few that I loved. I have TONS more but this is just a peak at this beautiful family! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity and your friendship Amanda. You have such a special place in my heart!

This is Ezrie! Such a beautiful soul inside and out. Sadly I don't have too many of her by herself. So I chose one with 2 different edits!



This is little Trenton {Trent}. What a sweet lil man he is! He has the cutest expressions!


And darling little Reyen! This girl...help me Rhonda is SO darn adorable. Those curles get me every time!


And little baby Dax! My word this little guy can flirt with the best of them. I could eat him!


The Wards...the beautiful Wards. What a gorgeous family! They are just as beautiful on the inside!


And two of my favorites from the 1st set!


I could shoot and edit them all day! I cannot wait to get to the 2nd half. Amanda, I hope I did your beauitful family justice. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Sneak Peak coming hopefully tomorrow! Thanks again Amanda...for everything! OXXO Hope everyone is well and had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
