The Graftons

Here is a family that almost feels like my own. I love these guys and am so happy for them all - look at all those beautiful babies!! I believe Diane got her wish with a house full of grandchildren!

It was good to see all of you!

And the WINNER is....

There were a ton of votes for the Halloween contest. We had a few parents out there campaigning for their kids. I even think I saw a plead of facebook! :)

The votes were very close!! And the winner (drum roll please) is MEGAN THE WITCH!

Congrats to Megan for winning her family a free session with Mandy Hall Photography.

And in second place (and very close behind) was Stetson the Pirate!

Thank you to everyone & I plan to do the Halloween mini sessions again next year - so be looking for those next October!!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Repeat Customers

Lets all go back in time to when John & Katie were in high school. I remember doing John's senior photos and his mom saying something about homecoming that night, and I asked, "Who are you going with?" and John replied...."Katie Thomas." Love must have blossomed that night, because a few years and three little girls later, here they were again!

Actually, I have done other sessions for them - Katie informed me that I took their oldest daughters very first photos! I love repeat customers and I hope John, Katie and their three beautiful girls keep coming back for years to come.

Thanks guys, I had a blast with you!!

Katie

Katie and her mom came all the way from Columbus for me to do her senior session! She is my cousin and I was so so happy to photograph her. We had to dodge the sprinkles and keep praying for the sun to poke its head out - and it worked - sometimes! The rainy day did produce one wonderful suprise - A RAINBOW!

Thanks Katie & Dorothy for the fun day!!

Another Favorite Family

My wonderful girlfriend, Deb & her equally wonderful family spent Saturday afternoon with me. As I was doing this session I kept thinking how time just slips past you & before you know it years have gone by. When I became friends with the Reimans, Cade & Ally were just toddlers....and look at them now, all 6 of them.

Thanks Deb & Kevin ~ you guys are the best!!

The Kudrnas

This was one fun session! Not only did I get to spend the morning with one of my favorite families in the whole world, I got to be super creative & end the day with ice cream. Yum!

Kristin had this great idea for a Christmas card and she went all out! I really want to show you the card, but I better not, I will spoil all the fun for her & her friends. So, here are some family pics we started off with.

This is the very first image I took. Doesn't Scott look pi**ed & Kristin look totally amused? I believe Scott had a little critter fly into his mouth! :)


Now we are happier...



I could show you a TON more, but I won't. sorry.
