Sister Act

These girls share a special bond and life story...they are all three incredibly blessed with their mommies and families! We did a session before Alyssa's 5th birthday party while the girls were together. Faith and Hailey live pretty far so it was great to have a beautiful day for the shoot.
Alyssa started Young 5's this year at school. She's vivacious, highly verbal, and has a VIVID imagination! She's been in front of my lens before so she had it down. Being the oldest of these three, Alyssa helped take charge! After the photo shoot, we celebrated her birthday with her friends and family.



Faith is in the middle. She's three and has a sweet spirit - Faith is a great name for this sweet little girl. Momma Jenn must be busy keeping her house clean, though...those spiders really scare this child! Ahhh - the great outdoors with little girls!



Rounding off this trio is Hailey (correct me Jenn if it's Hayley)! She's two....with beautiful reddish blonde hair. She seems quiet and a bit timid (mom may be laughing at that), but she was a doll while we shot the photos...hard to catch, but a complete sweetheart!


Thanks, Jenn and Danielle, for sharing your girls! And, Jenn - go for it! Ya know what I'm talkin' about!!

Genius!

I LOVE what I do! I get to teach little first graders a few days a week and then I've been blessed to work with fun families in our business! Granted...I'm tired, but that's thanks to my own crew! Others are so much easier to manage! The Gibson family recently moved to our area and are settling into their busy life here.


Anna is a first grader (gotta love those toothless sweeties) and just started in Springboro this year. I know it's a big change not only from K to 1, but from old school to new. She's a bright and articulate (ahem - and I will add WELL-BEHAVED) little girl. I think she likes the pouty, serious modeling but she warmed up nicely.

Andrew just turned 3. What a cutie! He just celebrated last weekend with a Thomas the Train theme! Andrew did a great job and we finally figured out we should say the OPPOSITE of what we wanted him to do...good call mom!


Barb Farley - you keep sending these organized moms my way! If you're not quite as organized as this good lookin' crew, that's okay too. Every session is an adventure!
It was a joy spending time with the Gibsons! I wish we had a little longer to be outside of the studio - I think I got my favorite shot EVER out there on a whim before they left. Darlene, you'll just have to wait a couple of days to see it!

Jerry Bradley...Township Trustee



There are two spots and two men I support for this position. This candidate is very near and dear to me! My very own father! Jerry Bradley graduated from Waynesville in 1957 and served as class president. After high school, he entered the army and married his high school sweetheart, my lovely mother Peggy. They celebrated 50 years together this past December!
My father is still very active in Waynesville and dedicated to his family and fellow citizens! He loves to help coach elementary football and baseball. He's always there when needed and never lets you down!
Remember to vote November 3rd for these two fine gentlemen!!!

Pat Foley and Family - A Trustee in the Making...

If you're from Waynesville, then you probably know Pat Foley and his wife, Kendra. I grew up with Pat and graduated with him many years ago (16 years to be exact). Pat was one of those kids who you knew would go on to achieve success in life...and that he has done.

He has a beautiful wife and 3 adorable children, Loren, Jenna, and Sean. Pat and Kendra have chosen to stay in the community to raise their family. He's always been active in Waynesville, and now he would like to take that initiative even further.

Waynesville citizens, be looking for information to come to you regarding Pat and his run for Township Trustee (vote November 3, 2009). He is level headed, energetic, proactive, and dedicated to serving with the same dignity he has always possessed.

Sweet Baby Isaac v2.0

...and sweet little Anna and big man Eli...
Round two in the studio with Eli, Anna, and Isaac was a blast! Mom Kimberly, as expected, was ready to go! She had the perfect little outfits on these three cuties that took them back in time...priceless!
Big bro Eli is 4 and loves to cheese for the camera. I got some good shots of him goofing with me as Anna got ready.

Anna's dress was adorable. As you can tell, she loves her baby brother!


Baby Isaac is getting so big! He has changed so much already since our last studio session. It's exciting to see him grow!

Bella Garden Florals



I have had a great time working with Debbie Agnew, owner of Bella Garden Florals in Waynesville, Ohio. I've known Debbie for years and I'm excited for her as she grows her business. She's artistic, talented, professional and moving forward fast. I'll be updating my friends with her blog address as she puts the finishing touches on it! In the meantime, if you have any floral needs call her at 937.475.4902.

One Gorgeous Afternoon!

One aspect of this business that I love is meeting new people. I had the joy of meeting and hanging with 4 special little sweeties! It was a beautiful afternoon and we met up after school let out. The sun felt great!
Nicholas was the greeter of the family. While mom was inside prepping the remaining 3 kids, Nicholas showed me around their yard and came up with the cutest poses I've ever seen. You could tell he was used to having the camera in his face.

Luke is two and on the go...although I was impressed at how much he did sit. He even looked at me! Wish I could get Carson to do the same...

Julianne is a beautiful little girl! She will be so spoiled in this crew including 3 boys! Her high school boyfriends won't stand a chance against these guys who will be looking out for her!

We actually did get a few with all four - always an experience. Conner joined us for these. He was more interested in playing - but hey, can you blame him? He's only four!

I am so glad to have had time with this family. I hope to be in their backyard again for round #2 next year!
