Dakota

Dakota finally got his turn after Hunter
and Emmalee.

He had a very fun new outfit!

Future Iowa Wrestler - Dakota

Emmalee

Emmalee was so excited for her pictures!

She even got to wear her
Halloween costume. Pretty in Pink!

She did so good smiling - I told her she needs
to teach her little brother.

What fun pictures for a fun little girl!

Hunter

Hunter came to the studio for his
2nd Birthday.

Hats are the cutest!

He's showing me some of his wrestling moves -
adorable!

"How did I get so cute?"

This photo cracks me up!

Isabelle

This was Isabelle's first visit
to the studio.
I love her bright colors!

She was the first to try out my new
purple and blue tutu...she looked
like a princess!

She looks like she's having so
much fun...perfect!

What a sweet girl!

Hope & Zach

A couple of my favorite kiddos - Hope & Zach

Very cool! I love the guitar!

This is my new "fake-out" wall -
they dressed to match it perfectly!
Everyone knows I LOVE bright colors!

And, another new background - very pretty
with their bold colors!

They're going to have a hard time picking
their "Kool Kids" pose - there are lots of
"Kool" ones!

Chase & Lilly

This was Chase & Lilly's first visit to
my studio.

Lilly reminds me so much of my sister Brandi
when she was that age - dark brown hair and eyes -
and a few "attitude" poses - what a cutie!

Look at those eyes!

Lilly had a blast being a pretty princess
with her tutu and gloves.

Chase played a real fireman getting a cat
from the tree using the ladder!

I think the umbrella shot of Lilly is one of my favorites.
She just looks like she's having so much fun!
What a sweet brother/sister combo.

Hudson Boys

The handsome Hudson boys visited my
studio for the first time last week.

They had fun dressing up as a fireman,
cowboy, and fisherman among other things.

The twins - I can only tell them apart by the
color of their shirts - they look so alike!

They did so good smiling!

Ron & Kaye's Anniversary

Ron & Kaye's 45th Wedding
Anniversary is right around the
corner, so they came for
anniversary pictures.

We called them "engagement
pictures" instead!

They had a lot of fun making each other laugh!

You can tell they're still in love after 45 years!
Happy Anniversary!

Greysen's Newborn

Baby Greysen had his first photo shoot
last weekend. I just love sleeping babies
in baskets!

Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

We even got a couple smiles out
of him at 4 weeks.

Sleeping angel!

Cutie Contest

I'm holding my first annual Cutie Contest

that I award as well as "national" prizes
that my photo lab in southern Iowa awards.

Along with the discounted session,
there are special package and ala carte rates
as well. All cutie contest sessions must be held
by April 30 to qualify for judging.
