Merry Christmas...

Beautitul Maternity | Tulsa Maternity Photographer

She's a dear friend. She's sweet. She's beautiful, inside and out. She's pregnant with her third baby. She's having a GIRL!! What a gift and a blessing for me to do her maternity pictures. We had fun this afternoon, even though the temps just kept dropping! She was a trooper. I cannot wait to meet this little baby girl. I see newborn pics in the near future! :)

little Punky Brewster | Tulsa Children's Photographer

If you are old enough to remember the 80's, you know about Punky Brewster. If you don't know her, you missed out!! :) okay, just kidding...but really! Remember Punky? We all loved her...I loved her. She was witty. She was friendly. She was bright. She was fashionable; this is the side of Punky that I remember best. The ensembles she put together...she was a mismatch, and yet she wore it well. It fit her fun personality. There was nothing wrong with it, it was just who she was. She would not have been Punky without it! So it is with my beautiful daughter. I must have seen something in the twinkle of her eye from very early on, because I remember calling her my little "punky brewster" since the day we brought her home. Little did I know, the nickname fit her perfectly. She's grown up now (all of 5 years old :) ). She independent. She's witty. She's bright. She's fun. And of course, she could set some fashion trends...just like Punky did back in the day. Let me just show you by example what I mean....tell me this doesn't remind you of Punky...



and just because...can you see her personality in these?

Pretty in Pink Continued | Tulsa Children's Photographer

Pea in a red pod | Tulsa Children's Photographer

I couldn't decide. Color. Black & white.

Baby M | Tulsa Children's Photographer

I traveled all the way to Houston to meet this little one!! Such a blessing, and fits in quite well with her older two sisters. Meet baby M. Just two for now.

Pretty in Pink | Tulsa Children's Photographer

She looked like a princess in her white dress with black sweater, but she also rocked the pink fairy princess outfit!! Could I just have perfect shoots like this with my kids ALL the time...the light was exquisite, the model very cooperative, the weather a bit chilly but we managed! :)





and you know I have to include a funny one....:) She was telling me that Jesus wore one of those same crowns, but His had thorns :)

Simply Stunning | Tulsa Children's Photographer

Personally, I think this should be on the cover of a magazine somewhere! Is she stunning, or what? not to mention all grown up!



and this was the last shot I took. Her famous words prior to the shot? "Here we go again..."

Each day, I'm thankful for my blessings...

In particular, these three!!







and one more, just because it makes me smile!

Happy Halloween | Tulsa Children's Photographer

3 year old's Collage | Tulsa Children's Photographer

Long overdue, but it's done!! Can't wait to get the print and put it up on the wall!! :)

DVD covers and DVDs

I realized the other day, that I have yet to post a sample of my DVD covers and DVD. I had one order this week, and remembered to take photos of it to show as samples!! It was a fun project!!

Strike a Pose | Tulsa Children's Photographer

She likes to sit behind me, grabbing her brother's attention and making him smile! She's all about "helping" me when I take photos of my little guy!! This time, I turned the camera on her, as she was trying to make someone else smile, and the image makes me smile every time I look at it. It's so her!! She strikes the funniest pose to make others smile or laugh, but she won't do it voluntarily when the camera is on her!!

Playing the Ukulele | Tulsa Children's Photographer

Super Duper Fun 3 year old | Tulsa Children's Photographer

Such a fun age, I love 3 year olds!! The light was beautiful, but it didn't last very long. Meet little A. She's quite the young lady and was full of smiles!

Surprise Birthday Gift | Tulsa Family Photographer

A friend, and neighbor, of mine called yesterday asking if I could do a last minute photo session today. She told me they were having a surprise birthday party for her mother in law, and wanted family portraits as her birthday gift!! I couldn't pass it up! I LOVE surprises, and I was honored that they would contact me. So, we went out this afternoon and got some great shots!! They were a fun bunch, and I have a lot to go through, but for now here is a sneak peek of their session! Enjoy!
