The Sodren's

I can't even begin to tell you all how much I love this family.  Crystal and I have been friends since we were 15.  I remember sitting in health class together and she was telling me all about her boyfriend Jason.  It was evident even then...how smitten she was.  Fast forward into the future and here they are.  They are married, still head over heels in love and have 3 beautiful children.  
It was such a pleasure to do photos for them tonight...I've been photographing their children for several years yet, but this was the first time we did a family session too.  Don't they have an amazingly beautiful family?!  I had a REALLY hard time narrowing down photos of them.

Brendan ~ 18 months

I have been photographing this boy since he was 10 days old. For his 18month photos, we explored a bit of Stillwater. Now, I'm ashamed to admit, that I've never really spent time in Stillwater. But, now I'm as smitten with that city as I am with this little boy! How could you not love a boy with cheeks and eyes like he has?! He is definitely 18 months as he kept me on my toes and kept me moving through the whole shoot, but it was worth it. Here's some of my favorite photos from our day together in beautiful Stillwater.

Farewell Soriano Family!

This was a last minute plan, but I jumped at the opportunity to photograph Erma's beautiful family.  Erma was the evening nurse supervisor on my floor at Regions and she is leaving us, packing up and moving cross country!  She realized last minute that she wanted some family photos before she went.  So, 5 days before the big move, I stopped by their place (amidst the moving chaos) to get some photos for them. 
Here are a few of my favorites...As you can see, Erma and her husband and their twins are GORGEOUS!

We will all miss you so much Erma!  Good luck to you and your family on your big move.  We all wish you the best!!!

Brendan ~ 1 year

It's bittersweet when moments like this arrive.  I've been photographing little Brendan since he was only 10 days old.  Now, here he is at a year old.  It's been so amazing to watch him grow and to be a part of the first year of his life, even if only to photograph those milestone months.  
He is already such a great little boy and I know he will continue to make his mom and dad proud.

Elijah ~ One year old!!!

I've been photographing this little guy since he was still in his mommy's belly!  I can't believe he is one already!  It's amazing how fast time flies and he's not even my child.  He is quite the charmer and he had me laughing during our entire shoot.  He is just too cute!  Here are a few of my favorite shots of Elijah.
