My Niece!

While back in ND recently, I took some pictures of our new niece. Here are some of my favorite photos!

Wedding Pictures

I recently traveled back to ND for my sister's wedding reception. They eloped to Las Vegas in August but were having the reception, dinner, and dance in October. And she asked me to take pictures. Here is a sneak peek of some of my favorites. There are many more....



This particular picture was fun to play around with. I think I tried six or seven different looks for it. Here is one of my favorites.


And another neat look.





The bridal party's attitude! :)


I think this one (below) is my favorite of the whole shoot.




He's mine! :)

Both the bride and groom love to play softball. In fact, the groom proposed on this very diamond. So it was fitting to head back there for pictures.




And they head off into their future...

My Sister's Wedding!

I recently took pictures for my sister's reception. So many to share that I put them in a slideshow. Hope it works OK.



I will put the regular pictures in here later, but I have to run to pick up my son! Hopefully this slideshow will do for now...

G's 2.5 Year Pictures

My husband helped me take these pictures of our son. He did the all-important job of entertaining G by singing lots of songs!

G's Two Year Pictures

I had my son's two-year pics taken by a professional photographer, but I had to try to take a few myself. I wanted to get some full body standing ones. Whenever I have a specific goal like that, it never turns out as well as just shooting to see what I get. Oh well. I'm glad the pro got some great shots. Here are a few of mine that I like, though.

Texas Bluebonnets

My son and I met up with his friend and her mom for some bluebonnet pictures. It's a fun local tradition here in Texas; I love the colors and trying to capture a great picture. It was harder this year since we had bright sun to deal with - and uncooperative toddlers. But it's nothing a little bribery won't fix. My son loves cranberries and that's how I was able to take these pictures:
