Well it's a new year and I have had many challenges in the last year. Between my husband leaving me, Getting hurt at work, Finding out I have stage 3 Lyme disease. I'm hoping 2012 will be better. Today I go in for an MRI of my brain to check for sign of Multiple Sclerosis.

So I have been toying with the idea of moving to Kansas City and starting my photography business there. There just isn't a high enough demand for it here and with my health problems I can't keep working at the farm. Since Photography has always been a dream of mine it just makes more sense to go this route. Nothing is set in stone yet and things may change but that is the route I'm going for at the moment.

Bonnie and Luke's engagment session

October 4th was a lovely day for an engagement session. At least when it wasn't raining.
We went to big falls and started off with some by the water.



At one point we had a light sprinkle.



And it looks so cute when he lovingly helps her over the rocks.



Then we went out in the woods a little.



They look so in love.





Aren't the fall colors just gorgeous.



I had a great time and can't wait to do your wedding next July.

Sheryl and Dustin engagement session

It was a gorgeous day for a shoot yesterday. So we went to Gilman and had an engagement shoot with my cousin and her fiance.

We started our shoot on a bridge.




Then Sheryl had an idea. She saw this tank and talked Dustin into some pictures on it.


Then we went on the tracks.


Having a bride-to-be like this is so much fun!


or when they do fun stuff like this


And of course you can't forget the shots like this


We ended our shoot with this


Such a fun shoot and I'm looking forward to photographing your wedding in 2 weeks.

cute little girl

While walking to get some pictures done I got an adorable shot of this little cuttie.



When ever they told her to say cheese she would pinch her cheeks! It was just to cute!



We had a couple of pictures of her riding on her tractor and of course she had to have the dog with her. lol.



and one of my favorites



Of course we had to have some by the horses.



and



Please not that there was an adult there holding her leg. I just spent alot of time in photoshop taking it out. I would rather spend the time taking out the person holding the leg than to let the little girl get hurt.

My all time favorite of the day was this one when she was being held by her daddy.

helping mommy

Have you ever had a little more help than you want? lol. I get that feeling sometimes...

A couple of days ago I was sitting down paying some bills. Well Glenn (who is 4) was paying his own pretend bills. After I was done putting them all in envelopes to give to my husband to mail out I noticed one was missing. I looked on my desk and around it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So I gave up. A few minutes later Glenn ran up to me all excited because he was "helping me" pay some bills. This is what he brought me:

Not bad for writing his name! lol. So My husband and I decided to take a picture of it before we put in the mail box. I wonder what the people think when they get envelopes like these. lol.
