Addysin * 9 months

I love taking pictures of little girls. Addysin was so sweet. I love her two little teeth poking out on the bottom. She had so many beautiful smiles for me almost the whole time she was here. And the little lam {her good friend} kept her attention and kept her happy during the last moments of the session when it was time to finish up! Thanks for bringing your little cutie for this fun session!

Whitworth Family

This family was so fun and relaxed. They were willing to do anything I asked. Our original session was planned for outside, but the weather wasn't being too cooperative. So we worked around the weather and did them inside. Most dad's don't like picture, I've noticed, but this dad was so easy to work with. He would do anything for me to get a good picture. And the mom was just as easy, she is so care-free! Their little daughter could be a little model for sure. She has the cutest little smile and she can pull off a good ATTITUDE picture too! As for the little boy...he was a hoot. He would only play along with our little picture game if he was on the bike or if he had a Ritz cracker in his hand. What a little stallion though. He is a cutie! Thanks for making this session so fun and easy!

Life is good!!!

I found this today while blog surfing and just wanted to share....

Take time to play with your kids more. Silly play.
Run around with them. They love it.
Sit and cuddle your kids as much as you can.
Make sure everyone knows how much you love them.
Sometimes you never have the chance to tell them again.
Don't sweat the small stuff. Some things just don't matter.
They mean something, but they really don't matter.
Hold yourself accountable.
Remember that everyone has a bad day once and a while. Just like you.
Don't get offended. Assume that whomever said it, just didn't get it out right.
Give others a break. We are all fighting our own battles.
Remember that people aren't always going to remember what you said,
But they will always remember how you made them feel. Make them feel special.
There are too many people out there who need someone really bad. Be that someone.
Sometimes all someone needs is a shoulder to cry on.
Give it to them and really listen. Don't keep your distance.
We are all supposed to be taking care of each other.
Life isn't about us, it's about everyone else.
Sometimes the simplest things to you, mean the world to someone else.
Give it to them.
Live by example.
Have Faith.
Remember . . . Life is Good.

Brynn * 13 months

This girl had so much personality for such a little thing. She was more interested in playing with her toys and wanting to know what was in the next room, than taking pictures. But she turned out to be a perfect little model! And that hair is a whole other story; I love it. Each little curl and each little piece had it's own place. Her mom sure knows how to make this little one look like a babe!

Winnemucca

This weekend I was down in Winnemucca, Nevada taking pictures of the mule races that are held there once a year. This is my third year going to this particular town. I love it there because of the awesome people I am able to work with. I look forward to going each year. I missed going last year because I was a month away from having my baby...but I really enjoyed going back this year!

I want to say a quick congrats to this mule! This was it's last race as a race mule. She is retiring and she went out with style! She won this last race and put everyone in tears!

Congratulations!
