Ryanne & Travis ~ Family

As promised, here are some more images of this fun family I hung out with recently!  My friend Ash (who you probably remember from here) works with Ryanne, who wanted some shots of her and her boyfriend, and his 2 adorable kids.  I think we got some good ones, and more importantly we had a ton of fun playing at the park!

Happy Halloweenie!

I hope everyone is having a lovely Halloween day full of candy eating and trick-or-treating!  In the spirit of today, I thought I would share the pumpkins we carved this year:

You can probably guess who did each one… :)  I think they turned out pretty darn good!  Of course Matt cheated and used his Dremel, while I slaved away with the cheap-o plastic pumpkin carving set, but in the end I think they both look great.

By the way, I’ve been keeping quite busy lately taking a lot of photos, so stay tuned for lots of posts coming up! :)

Happy Halloween!

Family Fun!

I hung out with this adorable, fun family last weekend:

Stay tuned, there's more where this came from!
(but don't hold your breath or anything...the hubs and I are skipping town tomorrow to go visit our friends Ryan & Elaine in COLORADO! We'll be back Sunday, so I should have the rest of these images up next week some time :)

Ash & Zach ~ Love

As I mentioned, a couple weekends ago I met up with my friends Ash & Zach (who you may remember from last year) for a little Holiday Card photo shoot. It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a photo shoot, with plenty of sunshine. I had a really hard time narrowing down my favorites, but here they are...

Can you tell that Missy is quite a loved pooch?!

There was quite a bit of wind when we were out on this dock...if you couldn't tell from Missy's "Dumbo" ears. :)

Pretty sure this is my all time favorite from the session:Ash&Zach2010_22 Ash&Zach2010_20Ash&Zach2010_24 Ash&Zach2010_26 Ash&Zach2010_27 Ash&Zach2010_30

In looking back at last year's pictures, I think this year's are a vast improvement (not to toot my own horn or anything...). I think the biggest different is my editing skills - well for one I actually have the full version of Photoshop this year, not to mention I *sort of* know how to use it. I'm happy to report that in a year's time I've learned quite a bit, and I think it shows.

Ash & Zach are such a cute couple, and with Missy they make an adorable little family. Once again, I'm anxious to see what image ends up on their Holiday Card this year! :)

Ash & Zach ~ teaser!

This past weekend I hung out with my friend Ash, her boyfriend Zach, and their pup Missy at Shawnee Mission Park. I just started editing all of the photos, but have already come across a favorite...

Stay tuned...more to come! :)
