Sparkman and Young Event

~Sparkman and Young Family Birthday's~

This is such a beautiful family. I went to dance and preschool with Kimberly. I remember bugging Kyle (Dr. Sparkman of Amarillo) at their house a few times when I was there with Kimberly when we were little. I got to get back with these two plus Julia and John (Dr. Sparkman of Pampa). I got to meet Ashley, Kyle's wife, who live in Amarillo which I am so excited about! I got to meet Quad, Kimberly's husband. And I got to meet all of the little ones. I believe the oldest was 3 years old out of the 5 grandchildren. 4 precious boys and 1 beautiful baby girl.


Here is the grandparents photo. These kids really love their Mena and Aw John. It wasn't them that Quinn didn't like, it was me. This is when I first got there. Look at little Reagan just smiling away!

Towards the end of the evening, we walked down the hill to the pond where there was some fishing going on. I love this photo of Quad and the three kids fishing. It was such a peaceful place, I could stay there forever!

The reason that I had to show you the photo collages was that there were truly so many photos that I absolutely loved, there was no way that I could even choose a few more photos to put on here so I thought that would be a good idea. You can click on them to make them larger where you can see the photos better.

I want to again thank the Sparkman's and Young's for allowing me to be apart of this very special event that blessed me more than you will ever know and it was so much fun! Love to you all and I can't wait to see you all again!

~James~

My Uncle, James wanted to do something special for my aunt for her birthday. He always tries to surprise her every year...I SAID TRIES...haha. He called me and asked if we could do a little photo shoot of him for my aunt for her birthday. We had such a blast! We laughed and just had the best time! He should be a model!










Thanks for letting me do this James even though Janet, your detective wife found out! =)

~Fun Family Photo Session~

Serena calls me to tell me that their sister from Dallas is in town and they wanted photos of the three girls, their mom, and the kidos! I have done a shoot for Casey, her kids, (Kolton, and Aspen) and also have done a shoot for Serena's little Aubree and fell in love with these families! So, when Serena called, I knew it was going to be so much fun and I was very blessed to be apart of it!

~McClean Girls Softball~

I had fun shooting the McClean High School girls sofball team at the end of the season. This is the first year that McClean has had a softball team and these girls rocked! They got to the playoffs and I am so proud of all of them. I am mostly proud of my 15 year old cousin, Ashley Medlock. She is our girl...3rd base in these photos! There are three Ashley's on the team. It is quite funny. Ashley Russell playes right field in these photos and then there is Ashley Byron, the awesome pitcher. I can't even think of the stats for Ashley Byron off hand. She is an AMAZING pitcher with amazing stats and most teams would not even let her hit...walking her almost every time. I am just so proud of them. Here are just a few pics!

~FUN day with Friends~

Thursday, I was so blessed to go over to the Cotgreave house and see my best friend, Kendra and her 2 year old Ella. I also got to see Kendra's sister Brittany, with her 3 year old Breckin, and 6 week old Reece! Then I got to see the rest of the family as well! I love seeing them all because I feel so comfortable mainly because we grew up together! Wow, I miss Kendra, Brittany and the kids so so much when they have to go home! I can't wait to go down to see Kendra when we have nothing going on and we can just have a great time together! She is just such a wonderful woman of God! Here are just a few of the pics I got of the kids!

~Here is Mr. Reece and Mommy...So Precious~

~Here is Miss Ella. She is just too cute and is SO loving!!!~

~Mr. Breckin...all boy...a lot of fun. He too is too cute!~



~These really are two adorable cousins...so much fun to watch~

~WOW~

I just wanted to share this photo of Leo and Taylor that really touched my heart! I can completely parallel this to me and Jesus. You can see that Miss Taylor feel so safe in her Daddy's arms and completely trusts him. I love love love that she has her arm around her Daddy making sure she looks into His eyes as they laugh together. I have always loved photos of Jesus laughing. LOVE IT! This photo just touched me and I had to share it!

~Daddy-Daughter Photo Shoot~

Wednesday, I had the privilege of doing a Father-Daughter photo shoot. It was Leo's birthday and he did a shoot with his 2 year old daughter, Taylor, who is so precious! She loves her daddy which made for some very special shots! She also loves the camera! They were a lot of fun and I can't wait to get all the photos edited!

~Gracie and Fun Action Shots~

Yesterday, I wanted to shoot Miss Gracie on her new trampoline! As she is NOT new to the trampoline, She was SO much fun to shoot doing flips and jumping!

(Not quite sure what I did here but....)

I only have a few edited because I was so exhausted yesterday. It was a truly a great day! Gracie stayed the night with her Heather and then I took her to school at 7:50. I then edited until 10:00 and was off to watch Miss Ella A. while Lezlie went to get her hair cut on her BIRTHDAY! Happy Birthday again Lez! Then after that, I met Lori who took me to get a pedicure....AMAZING...THANK YOU SO MUCH LORI!!! Then we went to pick up Gracie from school. Then we went back to Lori's and I shot Gracie on the trampoline playing with settings and and direct sunlight! LOVED IT!!! Then they went off to pick up Ridge and then off to watch Lindsay's track meet and I was so tired, I couldn't handle it and I AM SO SORRY LINZ! I try so hard to be at the next one!!! But what a fun filled day and I am just so blessed!

~Here are just a few of the many pics of Miss Gracie on the trampoline~

This girl can flip. Her and Lindsay used to do Cheer Texas and I remember watching her when she was 4 years old and she stood in front of my tv watching cartoons flipping backwards CONSTANTLY while my dog, Ali watched her the whole time. It was super funny! Lindsay is really good as well!


More to come...

~Playing a little with textures~

I haven't really had the chance to play with textures enough to where I have felt comfortable using them in my editing but I played with them yesterday and TRULY loved them. It can add SO much to certain photos. Here is just one that I played with that I completely love. This photo was from the Pre-Party that is the post below. I love this one because I think it fits this photo so well! Let me know what you think about it...

~The Girls Pre-7th Grade Dance~

Last night I got the privilege of shooting photos for 7th grade girls before they went to their 7th Grade dance. It was so much fun! They all looked beautiful and I am so excited to get these all edited for them! Here are just a FEW of the MANY precious photos of these girls!!!
