Cate Strider: Southmoore Highschool Senior

Many of you know that we are and have been in FULL swing with Senior Portraits!  Of course, they keep us very, very busy, but every session is ALWAYS a blast!  Every senior brings something different to the table, which I love! :)  This one of our 2010-2011 Senior Faces' Models, Caitlyn Strider.  She is definitely a blonde bombshell! :)  We had a blast photographing her with a very outdoorsy feel with trees, tall grass, wood, wood and more wood, and water.  She had it all with every color of outfit from black to white...  A great selection in my opinion! :)  The BEST part about her session was that we actually got to photograph her, ON HER BIRTHDAY! :)...  WHAT A BIRTHDAY PRESENT!?! :)  I mean, I LOVE birthdays and especially when you get to celebrate them MORE than one day!  :)  So, Cate, we hope that you had a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY and can't wait to see what your gorgeous magazine is going to look like with the images you choose. :)

Amber Littlejohn: Moore Highschool Senior

This beautiful girl is on the Moore High School Yearbook Staff and will put in hundreds of hours so everyone else has the opportunity to have an AMAZING yearbook at the end of the school year!  So not only is she stunning, but also very talented. :)  ...Thanks Amber for sharing a glimpse into the beginning of your senior year with us...  Enjoy every minute of it girl!  It will be over before you you know it. ;)

Their Little "Firecracker!"

I cannot say it enough...  There is just something special about newborn babies!  I love the way they smell, the way they coo, the way they snuggle, and the way they make all of those silly faces.  But most of all, how they stay with mom and dad when I leave to keep up all night. ;)  I love how I get to love on them and then hand them back on over to mom and dad when we are done. :)  ...  No offense moms, they are just handfuls and I have too much work to do to keep up with them. ;)  ...I like to call it the best of both worlds for me. :)

This beautiful baby girl, Lila Elle Chapman, born on the Fourth of July, was one of the most well-behaved newborns we have ever had.  Now, don't think she didn't have an accident, or two... or three. ;) ....  Just ask her mom, but it's something they all do. ;)  I have SO many favorites that I thought I would share a video instead of just one or two...  I couldn't resist! :)... Enjoy! :)

SRAD 1: PORTRAITS' PREMIER! :)

SRAD 1!...  One of the BEST days EVER, gorgeous girls, great food, first day of Eclipse premier showing at midnight, and AWESOME senior pictures, equaled ONE AMAZING TIME!  This girl is one of our Senior Faces' Models and is absolutely GORGEOUS!  She is a good friend of one of our seniors from last year!  ALL of her portraits are just as stunning as she is to say the least! :)...  We can't wait to show you more from SRAD 1!...  Stay posted! ;)

SENIOR ADVENTURE DAY!

Just TOO cute to ignore! :)

He wasn't messing around, just like on the day of his birthday, the day of his One-Year Session he did not wait! :)...  The motto of this portrait, "Somethings in life are just too good to ignore and wait for!" and well can turn out okay! ;)

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!

It is ALWAYS a blast when we receive the special opportunity to photograph a baby every year from when they were born  and even every 3-4 months of their very first year!  These two cute things below are two of those babies we have been blessed to watch grow!  

The little guy below has stolen my heart, probably since I was there when he was born! ;)   

Both cousins turned one earlier this month!  They both just happened to be born within two weeks of each other!  Of course, we photographed both of them when they arrived and a year later, the same thing!...  After all, it was only fitting!  

Plus, since we designed their announcements when they were born, we just HAD to do the same thing for their One Year Birthday!  So here is a sneak peek of the invitations that inspired it all! :)

                                                                The party invitation!

At the actual party!  All of it in action! ;)

They gave wallets out as goodies at the party!... They were super cute and a BIG hit if I say so myself! ;)

      The fun pics from the One Year Birthday Session up close that inspired the "wallet goodies!" ;)

Getting after it! ;)  While Lane, his cousin, thought she had enough before at her One Year Birthday Session and didn't care much for her pink cake! ;)  I think she didn't want to get dirty for her party, personally, myself! ;)...   Girls!...  And who said, "Boys will be boys"? :)...  What about the other way around too?

The awesome cake that Johnnie's Bakery made from the invitations! :)...  It was SUPER adorable! :)
