my poor neglected blog. this have been rough around here with 3 kids, wedding season, and a deployed hubby.
we’re getting by and there is more time behind us than in front of us at this point!

here is my sweet little lola, how i adore this baby so.

rachel and brad are one of my june wedding couples and they opted for a spring engagement session in Parkville, Missouri.
don’t you just love her yellow heels, adorable!!

congrats on your impending nuptials and i am excited to shoot your wedding in june!!

addie turned 6 last month!! yeah, i am running a little behind. i have been finding running a business, being a deployment “widow”, raising three kids and running the household is a bit much for me to handle.
so my poor blog has been very neglected.
oh my dearest addie. you came into this world in a very scary way and for a whole 15 minutes i didn’t know if you were going to live. we still deal with the affects of your birth day to day, but i wouldn’t have you any other way that you are. it makes you, you. you are growing up so fast and i can not believe 6 years of our lives has gone by.
we have a lot of growing up to do together. i love you.

blogging blogging blogging! catching up on blogging!

met little brazos. isn’t he adorable!!! he has the cutest dimples known to man, it is a fact.

i know i am majorly behind on blogging! a lot has been going on in my personal life that has made me very behind, on well, life!! i have been sick since late january and finally am better. which is an amazing feeling!

i’ve always said that kansas city is has such a small town feel. i can’t go anywhere without seeing someone i know. so when my cousin introduced me to Katie at a wedding, i knew she was the little sister of one of my husbands college buddies.
she was engaged shortly after, and told me she would never want anyone but me to be her wedding photographer. must be my fun loving spirit!!

living the gansta life fo sho!!!

addie and her cuteness won me a top 10 spot in the matilda jane clothing photolove contest! i could win a chance to go to florida and photograph their newest line, which would be very exciting! more info on how you can help me win by voting later this week.
charlotte had her 2nd birthday. and her 2nd birthday that her daddy was not here to celebrate with us. i know he would be here if he had the choice!

my kids are pretty awesome.

charlotte. you are almost 2! one week from today i will no longer have a “baby” in this house. you’re a big girl all the way!
