Coulon Family 2009

I am honored to be able to have a photo shoot with these dear friends! I met them for the first time about 3 years ago when I played piano for a homeschool graduation...after talking for a little bit we hit it off! I fell in love with the Coulon Family instantly!

Now I have the privilege to teach piano to 4 of their children...then to top it off I got to have a photo shoot with them...SHHHHH!!! It's a surprise for their daddy!

Miss Firstborn- pretty much amazing...everytime I look at this picture I am speechless...because she's gorgeous! (btw she just turned 17 so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!)

Mr. Secondborn...quite handsome and a fearless leader!

Mr. Third born steals my heart everytime! haha Whether it's his artwork he brings me...the joke he tells me to light up my day...the funny story...the crazy wild dream he had the night before! I love it!

Miss Fourthborn (that doesn't sound right but I guess it is!!) So sweet...when she started taking lessons from me we didn't think she was going to actually talk to me...but I think she made her mind up before her first lesson that talking to Miss Erin isn't so bad after all! I adore her-

Mr. Fifth in line-he's a character himself! It was so cute....I think he was afraid I would forget to take his picture because he kept reminding me to "get a picture of me!" I love how all of these Coulon boys look a like yet are so unique in their own God given ways!

Mr. Six can sure hang in there with the best of them! Such a cutie!

Last but not least...is this precious bundle of joy! He was a little on the hungry side...but still sooo precious!

Isn't the fire truck the best! Mrs. Coulon mentioned that she would bring it along if we wanted to use it! I saw it and ummm yeh we were going to use it!!! Another awesome reason for using it...Mr. Coulon serves his community as a firefighter! Thank you Mr. Coulon for all you do! So needless to say this is so fitting!

Just a fun shot...

There are lots more on the slideshow...enjoy:)

Skyler & Grayson 2009

One of the fun things about photographing children is they are ALWAYS on the run and as a photographer you better be too!

These two handsome boys (which you might remember from last year) are definitely all boy..running, jumping, laughing, playing, smiling, throwing sand, jumping "waves"...you name it LOTS of energy! Am I saying that's a bad thing? Not at all that's what makes a photo shoot fun is constantly on the move because you get to capture the child for who they are! That's when a picture becomes special:-)

As we were walking down to the beach I was busy looking at my camera settings and my dad says "I see the perfect place for pictures! That piece of wood!" That caught my attention...I looked up and headed that way! Kuddos to my dad on that one:) :) It turned out perfect and FUN of course:) So no we didn't drag this prop down to the beach...haha it was there:) lol

if you haven't figured it out by now...I love babies and kids feet:)

I suggested a family picture...my cousin loves everything to match including the pacifiers to the outfit!! so she was a bit concerned about the clothes...and guess what?!?!? Black and White says it all!
Stunning Family picture:)

Anyway these pictures were taken over at the beach in Gulf Shores, AL for my cousin and her family. It was great to hang out with my AWESOME Aunt and Uncle as well as the rest of the family! Fun times!!!

BEAMS

Bible Education and Missionary Services

This post is llloooonnnggg over due! I had the opportunity to take portraits for BEAMS in April. (Yes I know April and it's June!!!) The primary use of these portraits was to have a digital file for prayer cards, event posters etc. As well as have a hard copy for their own personal use.

Beams prints and packages Bibles to send all across the world! I have had the opportunity to volunteer at BEAMS helping with computer work. I try to go at least one day a month! As a donation of my business I donated the money to go back to BEAMS towards Bibles. I had these Bibles donated in memory of a dear friend that died last year- Christa Baker Alexander.

Farrah-Dalton-Beignet

What a fun trio! When mom emailed me about photographing the kids with their dog "Beignet" I was excited. This is the first pet I've had come along for the shoot and I was up for the challenge and fun! Then I heard it was a yellow lab which is my favorite! Then to top it off what a cute name!! "Beignet" I love it!!!!

I loved the relaxing feel that these kids had with the pictures! Especially Mr. Handsome Dalton!!

We got a good smile from Miss Farrah when mom and dad mentioned "ICE CREAM"!!!! She is gorgeous!!!!!

I had a blast and I loved the pictures! Especially the black and white of the kids! Gorgeous family! Have fun watching the slideshow!

Rhyan-Grace

Miss Rhyan-Grace...what a beautiful girl!!

She certainly wasn't too sure about these pictures...once she warmed up to me we had a blast! I think when Rhyan-Grace sees these pictures she's going to have a HUGE smile on her face! Just like I have had while editing and posting these!

I have to say coming from the "artsy" side this is one of my favorites of the day!

and we'll finish it off with a sweet black and white! I love the gentleness and calmness this pictures portrays!

There's more pictures of Miss Rhyan-Grace on the slideshow! Enjoy!

Kathleen & Brandon

I don't know if you remember or not but back in December Brandon and I went out for a photo shoot of some fun pictures. I love hanging out with Brandon he's fun, photogenic and easy going! It was exciting to see him again!!!
