Southwest OK Newborn Photographer | Baby B Session

Saturday I was able to photograph a sweet 6 day old baby girl. She loved to be held and had the biggest brown eyes! Even though she was born at 8 lbs, she seemed so tiny to me, probably because my youngest is now two and a half and not a baby anymore!

Here are some of her best photos!

Nothing like a soft squishy sweet newborn to put you in a good mood on a Tuesday! ;)

Southwest OK Baby Photographer | Happy Birthday, Caleb!

Love this little guy! He is officially the first kid to get into his cake and not shed a tear! He didn't make too much of a mess, but he did love the icing! His birthday is a pretty big deal since he was born a premie and has been through quite a bit during his first year of life! But, he is a fighter and sure has come a long way! I can't believe I took his newborn pictures nearly a year ago! It's been neat to see him grow and over come a lot of obstacles and hurdles that go along with being a premie. 

I just got a few templates for these blog boards and wanted to try one out! I thought sweet Caleb's one year cake photos would be the perfect ones to use!

Happy birthday, buddy!

Southwest OK Wedding Photographer | Mr. and Mrs. Vrooman

On Friday I had the privilege of photographing Andrew and Ashley's marriage at the Palmer Courthouse. This was a new and exciting experience as it was my first wedding. Thankfully the couple was calm as that helped my nerves :) I loved being there to share in their special day and being able to capture details that they can cherish forever. Once they decided on which type of vows to say and we headed into the courtroom, it all happened so fast! It was definitely a (fun) learning experience and a great place to start for my first wedding! So glad I now have this under my belt and will now know what to expect for next time :)


So young and in love, here are some of my favorites from their special day!

Congrats you two, may you have a long and happy life together filled with many wonderful memories and may God bless your marriage!

Southwest OK Newborn Photographer | We Are Family

Yesterday we decided to do something totally different; "Let's go try and take family pictures of ourselves!" I raided our closets and tried to pick out a coordinating wardrobe, which was actually pretty fun! Little did I know it was going to be THAT difficult to get everyone looking at the camera, let alone smiling! Of course every time someone would move it would throw the camera off focus. So, after setting up the self timer and having it snap a ton of pictures in a row...I think we got a few worthy of posting photos....

This is our Spiderman web slinger pose :)

Don't smile- let's do a "model" pose! haha!

My Love

I love how we got the light from the sunset!

Finally everyone smiling!

Our pride and joy!

It was fun, but exhausting trying to get 3 kids to cooperate, especially the stubborn 2 year old...wonder where he gets that from?!? :)

Southwest OK Child Photographer | Brotherly Love

I have been trying to line up some time to do a photo shoot of my friend's boys for a few weeks now, but things have gotten crazy and then she went on vacation and, well, you know how the story goes! Anyway, she recently got home and we were finally able to get together and capture some some sweet memories of her boys cuddling and loving on each other. The weather has been awful here for a while now, so we just stayed indoors and kept the boys comfortable at home :)

Here are some of my favorites from today, both boys were so cooperative! You can definitely tell big brother LOVES little brother!

These boys are so cute and come from such a sweet family! 

Hopefully this weather will clear up soon so I can do a few more sessions outside with the gorgeous leaves before the snow comes!

Southwest OK Family Photographer | The Smith Family

I had the pleasure of capturing this sweet family and their love for each other on this special occasion of their little (handsome) man turning one! Poor Sawyer was not into the whole cake smash idea and wasn't sure what to think of it! The sun was super bright that day and there were a lot of people we had to dodge to keep out of the background, but we were able to get some lovely family shots! Here are some of my favorites!

Thank you for allowing me to capture this special milestone in your lives!

Fall Mini Sessions-Rescheduled!

Due to the weather forecast of 60% chance of rain (which was totally wrong) and the fact that I thought the leaves needed a bit more time to change, I am rescheduling the fall mini sessions. I finally decided on a location, and I enlisted the help of my friend and her family of 5 to come out tonight to test out the spot! Her husband dressed up all the boys in his favorite football team, and I like the way the red and white turned out! These were taken with my NEW camera, which I am so in LOVE with! I was telling my husband, it's like my new child, I don't want to put it down ;)
