Congratulations Class of 2008!!!

Hello Miss J!! Here is your sneak peek!!! I hope you love these images...I sure do!! You are beautiful girl (yes on the outside - but more importantly on the inside!!) I just LOVE senior sessions....really...I love photographing ALL ages...but Senior pics are so fun in their own way. The outfits, the poses, the conversation...I had a blast with you J :) Thank you so much!! Here's one for you since I know you like black and white ;)

one for mom...in color ;)

and...one of my favorites...you are too cute!

Thanks again M family...it was MY pleasure! Well, until Monday!! Love, ~R........;)

Sorry ~

to push you down R but I couldn't resist posting these of....MY LITTLE CUTIE PIE MEN!! Here is little B, a giraffe, and Caleb, an elephant. Here's how yesterday went down for us: figured it would be alright to go ahead and let the kids dress up in the costumes I already bought for the prop closet (which no one has requested yet!!) and go and see our lady neighbors who live on either side of us while R stayed home and passed out candy (and business cards!! :) to trick or treaters. Well, Caleb came down with some nasty sore throat virus thing on Monday so has been laid up...B and I went next door and made the ladies' day :) We also received "special" treats that they had just for the boys since hardly anyone comes trick or treating down our way (duh.)... 3 lbs. of chocolate candies and a day later. What's a girl (who loves chocolate) to do? Yes I have eaten some. Okay a lot. But that's alright b/c I am stopping today.

B has me ALL figured out. Won't look at me for anything. Am I going to have to start bribing this kid at 14 mths?? That's hardly fair. I did carry him for 9 months and then nurse him for 11. You would think he'd look at me- at LEAST when I am acting like a total monkey and actually being "funny"!! ???? C'mon now people am I going to have to HIRE another photog to photograph him? One of the reasons I went into business, so I wouldn't have to!

C's older elephant pic. He looked so sad and sick yesterday, I just couldn't post that one. :) By the way, if any of you want to get your little one in their cute costume of whatever sort...BRING IT to your next shoot!! :) ~R.......... :) One more sneak peek for Miss J today and then we're off again!

One word: PRINCESA...

Oh my goodness.

M and J....thank you so much for bringing your little cherubs to me...AGAIN!! There are just SO MANY to choose from....these are just few! Don't worry though, they are on their way!! I have so enjoyed photographing your beautiful family. I hope you have a blessed day! See you in January for the big ONE for little C!! Love, ~R..........;)

SOOOOOO I thought I'd

just go in and grab "a few" for you Sheryl. Yah. I was here and there and thinking "oooh! I gotta post THAT one...ooooh AND THAT one....ooooh and that one, that one, and that one". Before I knew it I was way over my first post quota!!! (Um two?) But it was well worth it my friend. I dubbed this session "Kathy's angels" because that's exactly what they are. Enjoy, BIG {{{hugs}}} to all!! Love ~R............ ;)

I mean, just LOOK at this child. I just wanna hug him! (Glad I got plenty of snuggles when he was here!) ;)

And don't worry, I got PLENTY of smiling ones of little R... Buuuut I just love this one ;)

Look at these baby blues...too much ;)

Kathy ~ you're gorgeous.

Three muskateers? So cute. That's all I have to say. ;)

Have a great night everyone! Love ~R........ :)

I. am. in. love.

with these senior portraits!!! Miss B...your mom mentioned you don't like having your pic taken. Umm....wait a minute!! I would have never guessed! You look gorgeous!! Ihope you had as much fun as I did during your session!! You are an A+ client girlfriend! Enjoy! ~R........ ;) S, I am saving your family photos for your gallery!! (Don't want to spoil ALL the fun!!) ;)

P.S. I see this upcoming photo of B and "Bunny" I think he/she....it was so affectionately named so many years ago and I can't help but think....a. {{{awwww}}} ;).....and b. will my little C be this cute with his BearBears when he is a senior in high school?? You better believe it!! (Hopefully he won't be taking them to school though!!) (Disclaimer: Miss B totally uses "Bunny" as a pillow now. :)

Mr. C with BearBears...they're starting to get really narly. Anyone have an extra one laying around that you don't want? (I am being COMPLETELY serious here!!) I am going to have start searching ebay I think!! ~R ;) Umm...just searched ebay and they want 25 bucks plus shipping!!! Anyone have one that umm...(maybe I gave you as a baby gift???) that your child doesn't actually use?? Isn't this just shameful and terrible of me?? I would be totally willing to pay you $5 for it! (I paid under that b/c they were on clearance. I should have really stocked up!) Please let me know, I would love to get two new, clean, BearBears for little C - actually just one, I have one more new one somewhere in storage!! wahoo!! ;) ~R
