The Frederick's

Boys, boys, boys!!

Rita emailed me and asked if I could take some pics of her 2 boys and 2 dogs.  It took us awhile to finally get our acts together, but I had a GREAT time with Danny and Matt.  They are all boy, all the time.  My favorite part was at the end of our shoot when they jumped in the fountain!!!  If it hadn't been so cold, and if I hadn't had a camera around my neck, I totally would've joined them.  ;-)  I'm glad I didn't cuz I'd have missed one of my favorite shots:  the wet boys sandwiching Mom in a giant bear hug!

Dorgan's

The Dorgan's are one of my regulars.  I've watched AJ and Sammy grow up for the last few years.  It's amazing to me how time flies as I look back at the old photos.  When I started photographing the Dogan's, Sammy could barely walk!!!  And look at her now.  And AJ...his personality is the same as it always has been, but he's growing up into such a little young man.  Loving it!

The Chase's

I love my family.  ;-) 

Zack is my first cousin.  There are 6 of us cousins and we grew up really close.  Every other Sunday (at least!), we'd all have dinner at Nana and Papa's after church.  One of my favorite things was always going over to their house. 

Well, Zack married the MOST amazing woman.  Amy is awesome in her own right - she's fun, funny, organized, creative, a great photographer - and she's the perfect match for Zack.  I absolutely love hanging out with them.

Blake is their 4 year old.  He is adorably handsome, and one of the funniest little dudes I know.  He is all about anything sports and anything rodeo.  When he was 18 months old he knew the difference between football highlights on TV and a football game.  A bit obsessive for an 18-month-old, I think, but it'll be fun to see what happens as he grows up!

Enjoy the pics of some of my favorite people!!!

This is his cowboy face

Another cowboy pose

I LOVE this one!!!

Ryan Argast

One of my favorite photo shoots to do are senior portraits!!!

Ryan is a perfect subject.  He is a musician, an actor, a joker, skinny jean and vest lovin', up for just about anything, and oh-so-photogenic!!

He made my job so very easy.  There is something about those actor types...my only problem was that I took WAY too many shots of this guy.  And WAY too many of those shots turned out awesome!!

Hafner's

Another dancer family!!!!  Yay for Revolution Dance Studio!!!

Rorre is actually the sister of the famous Tracy!!!  ;-)  Another wonderful family--do I get any other kind???  Rorre and Jason are a great couple and awesome with both of their children.  Reece and Justin are just amazing, and so sweet with each other.

Reece is one of the company dancers at the studio, which means that I got to take quite a few pics of her back in June and got to know her pretty well.  She is a fun, spunky, and adorable young lady.  Justin is in a word, a sweetheart.  He's addicted to iphones, and I think it's about time I call him for lessons.  I know he could teach me a LOT about the games and itunes functionality. :-)

This may be my favorite shot of the day!!
