little miss kylie anne

heller again!

    this photo session is of kylie! a wonderfully bouncy little four year old! if you read my earlier post i mentioned that lil miss kylie here is one of my sons best friends and that her mommy is also one of my best friends! so this was a very fun shoot! took the boy child along for the ride and they even ended up takin some pics together at the end! it was so cute.. anyhow, gettin off track!

     we played with chalk, and ran around... we even took a, non photographed, ice cream break! now that i think about it, i probably should've takin the "messy ice cream faced" pictures.. awww shucks... next time!!! well here are a few!
  



(tutus made by me)


she was having so much fun with that chalk.




and this is kylies beautiful mother stacie...aren't they just adorable :0)


   

Crystal and Tyler maternity

hillo again!
   
    for my next photo session i took maternity pictures of my other cousin Crystal (kaylas sister) and her man Tyler. they were my first "couple" shoot so i was so super excited lol and really nervous at the same time! but i like how the pictures turned out. they were so cute together, i would've been highly disappointed if they didn't lol. crystal and kaylas due dates were only like a week apart! crazy huh?! so here are a few of their pictures!


















[i have a confession to make, i'm not sure what my "picture style" is yet lol... as u can see from the variety of photo styles in this post. part of it is because i'm in a photography photoshop class right now so i'm learning new skills as i'm going, but part of it is also because i like such a wide variety of pictures... I LOVE THEM ALL!!!]  i'll have more on this subject in another post. now it's time to talk about how wonderful it was working with crystal and tyler!

    they were so fun!, it was a joy working with them lol tyler even ended up putting that tutu, in the above picture, on his head.. we got a good chuckle out of it!!!!!! and i'll probably hear about it when i see him next, but it's ok!

thank you again guys for letting me take pictures for you at this memorable time!
thank you for reading my blog and don't forget to leave a comment for me!!!!

Kaylas maternity

    alrighty! this was my second session. this is Makayla, my cousin! she was AHHHHMAZING! i love her so much! she was very patient and was ready to be out until the sun went down... we were out taking pictures for a little over three hours i think. i had sooo much fun!

    ok, so i have to show you my FAVORITE picture of them all!!! cause it's just ahmazing and she's beautiful, and i love the background and and... i'm just speechless!!! lol




well to be honest... there's two of them that i like just as equally >>>

 



     i'm not sure which i like best... but i just love them.. don't you??!!! ok, onto the next! so we had to capture the sunset :0) we headed out of town and got to the spot, that i searched and searched for the evening before and just had to find the perfect spot, just in time! the sunset was beautiful that evening and the purple dress she had chosen worked very well with her surrounding colors! i was very happy to capture this picture!



    when the sunset had past, we headed back into town to get a few more shots! we ended up going to this tree [that you're probably going to be seeing in a few of my photos because it is just an awesome tree!] and we got a few cute shots :0) one of them including this one!




    this tree just has sooo many awesome angles to work with and is just a beautiful tree to photograph! after we took some pictures there we headed downtown. we had to whip out a few props for this one since we hadn't done much of that, and got this awesome picture!!



    i do believe that this picture and the one with the sunset were kaylas favorite picks. they all turned out great and i really shocked myself on what a good job i ended up doing!!! i think i have been improving with every session and i hope you all think the same! i want to say thanks to kayla one more time and thank you to you for reading my blog! please don't forget to leave me a comment or two so i know that someone out there is reading this!!! lol otherwise i kinda just feel like i'm talking to myself, which may be the case! and ya know what?! i'm alright with that hahahahaha... 

    thank you thank you!!!

Ballinger maternity

hi again! ok, i'm going to start off with my first photo session!

   this is my co-worker jess, she was 8 mnths preg i believe and her daughter is 3. it was a very interesting time! i wasn't sooo sure on how to "direct" her to pose, so it was a fun and silly and very educational experience!
 
    we started out by my garage, sydney was being a little shy lol...

 
  [i also didn't have the luxury of using photoshop with these pictures :0( i actually logged onto the free photoshop.com site... it sooo wasn't what i was hoping for]


    then we went to a little place that i like to call "my secret spot" lol sydney decided that she was ready to go to the park, she didn't really want to make any more pit stops!  i love this picture! and i don't have any really good pics of jess at this spot, so this lil cutie will have to do for now!





    we went to the park next and syd was alll warmed up by that point! she was even pretending to be a dog for a little while. she was so cute lol and very full of energy! jess was a delight to work with and i'm very greatful that she took some time out of her life to help me out in starting my photography adventure!...


  

   and all my other pictures are on my other computer... so that is that for this session! hope you liked the pics... and more to come!


a little piece of Happy!

hiya hiya!
  
    i've been really thinking of something good to write for ya! annndd i really haven't came up with anything awesome! lol so i'm going to share with you a picture that i took and put a little quote on it! it makes me smile inside and out!!!
 


 i just think it's awesome!

i'm actually working on editing a few pictures right now and hopefully i can get them up to you today.. actually, i hope to get A LOT of my pictures up for you today! ok, enough chit chat, i'd better get to work!!!


p.s.-- i also wanted to add that the 2 sessions i was supposed to do this last weekend got canceled. my friend that i was going to take the pictures of the 4 kids didn't end up getting her niece and nephew :0( and the senior that i was supposed to do got scheduled for work... so bummer on that, but i'm doing my cousins family photo/ newborn session tomorrow! so yay for that!!!!

a photo trip to the junk yard!

hey ya'll!
   
    last night i grabbed up my son and my cousin and headed to take a vertical panorama picture of a crane! this is an assignment of mine for my digital photography class that i am taking, well the assignment is to take four panorama pictures, and i really wanted to take a vertical one! sooo off to the junk yard we go!!!

    i love all the colors that are in a junk yard! rusty metals, reds, yellows, all different sorts of blues! it's just ahhmmazing!!!

so here is what i ended up with!




don't ya just love it?! it turned out way better than i had hoped for!! i also took a few "non assignment" pictures! i would've probably stayed there until the sun went down, but the boy child was getting a little restless... so i figured we should probably leave before it was a big ta-do! here are a few of the other pictures i took... hope you like!!













till next time!
