Last night I got the opportunity to do my first shoot with a male model!  My brother knows all the hot guys in OKC and introduced me to Eric! They are working on getting Eric into the modeling industry.  I can definitely see him going places...NO DOUBT!! Let me tell you, I did not do any kind of editing on him, just the lighting and color effects of the picture! He didn't need it!
Man! Are these abs insane or what!  I had to ask him what his diet was...but not till I asked if he ate at all! LOL!  The last time I saw abs like this was in that movie "300".....HA! and those guys were fake!  It's the real deal here!
Its was nice working with you Eric and Jeff!  You guys were a lot of fun!!  I look forward to our next photo shoot!

We were up and about early this morning doing Miss M's Photo Shoot...this makes her sound like a supermodel,huh?  Well, you'll definitely be thinking supermodel when you see these!  Mom had some cute outfits and I picked up a cute little outfit for her as well!  She is so adorable!  I can't believe it was just 10 months ago that I did her newborn pictures. Oh how they grow so fast! 

This is what it sounds like through out the house.  The husband came home from the field with a cough and now I think I have it.....not feeling sick or anything just a little cough and constantly trying to clear the throat.  We take turns coughing.....I hear the hubby in the distance now...cough...cough...cough.  It's my turn...cough...cough....cough.
Well, I got the opportunity to do a session with our new family member, Little Baby A!  Hes such a cutie!  AND oh my goodness, he was absolutely a sweetheart.  He slept pretty much through the whole session. 
Introducing Baby A....welcome to the family!!

My husband actually came and helped me on this one, just so we could spend some time together! (He's the best!!)  AND with the hubby's help, I was finally able to create this pose!!  I have been trying this one for awhile.  WARNING: Do not do this one alone! :)

I'm was up early this morning trying to get caught up.  I had the whole weekend to myself but I stayed busy. I had a couple of sessions and I'm trying to play catch up before the family gets home.  This weekend I had some returning clients and both of these families are awesome!  These parents has some good looking kids...absolutely model material!  Happy Sunday all!

Family D#1 (both of these families are Family D)
Look at this little sweetheart! She has the most amazing eyes!  She has 3 brothers.  Thats awesome because she'll always have someone to have her back...but then again, I feel for ya lil G....you won't be able to have any boyfriends till you get married. :)



Lately I've been creating these storyboards.  I love these!  Simple but sweet!  I get these printed on a 2mm styrene board.  These are great displayed on a tabletop easle.   Here are a couple I just finished.

Sept 14 we welcomed a new family member! Lil Baby A! This is my husband's cousin's baby. And what a cutie he is!!  Ok, I'd have to say this is the youngest baby I've photographed...1 day old!  Can't beat that one...Or maybe we can. So, any mom's out there want to beat this? I could be at the hospital and photograph  at only a couple hours old! :)
This couple make the cutest babies.  Lil Baby A's  big sister is just as cute and sweet!  Congrats J & D!

Happy Monday all!!  Today I met these two sweetest little girls.  Lil Baby V was a tiny thing but OH MAN for someone so tiny, she had so much pee in her. lol!  I came home and had to wash EVERYTHING. lol!  She was a cutie though.  Her sister here was a sweet one too.  She has the cutest blue eyes.  I love to photograph the little ones with blue eyes! There so vibrant!  It was nice to meet you Mrs. C. 
You DO make beautiful girls!  :)

As I sit here editing late this evening I think about how to put into words what I want my pictures to create for people. Its a feeling! I had a client this week tell me that my pictures made her cry (of course, in a good way).  I just kinda laughed and said "don't cry" but then that is exactly what I'm trying to get...an emotion...a feeling. I did my job because now she can look at those pictures and remember that incredible feeling she felt looking at all her sweet children together and happy.

When I do newborn sessions, I want my clients to look at their pictures and remember the feeling of excitement because a new journey was about to begin. 

When I photograph young children, I want the parents to remember how young and precious and innocent their children are because those years will go quick.

When I photograph a whole family, I want them to look at those pictures and remember the incredible love and bond they have for one another.  

When I do a boudoir session, I want my ladies to feel sexy and to remember THEY ARE SEXY...inside and out!

When it's all said and done, its moments that capture our hearts and makes us smile as we remember.  It's like one of my favorite sayings..."Life is not measured by the amount of  breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away."  When my clients look at their pictures years later, I want all those feelings they were feeling at the time to come rushing back and feel blessed knowing they were able to capture that moment forever.

I love what I do!  I love photography!  I want to capture what people feel at that moment.  So when I'm looking down my lens "I'm seeing what you Feel!"  -Nani

Just a few pictures that I thought captured the moment....

Just working on editing some pictures.  Here are a couple that I really liked. This beautiful woman is a local female artist.

Today I had the opportunity to meet sweet Miss J.  She made my job easy today.  She slept pretty much most of the time and was pretty content with everything.  This family all together was awesome! Mom wasn't feeling too well so dad and Mom's sister took over and helped out a lot.  The kids you see here were soooo incredibly good!  I had fun at this session.  I even got to try out my little box I just bought.  It was nice to meet you all!  Thank you dad and sister for all your help. And I hope you get to feeling better mom!  Enjoy your sneek peek!

Today I did an early morning session with this awesome family!  I've had the priveledge to photograph some of them before. The morning was beautiful and so was the location.  Now I've got a new location to shoot.  Thanks Mrs. M for showing me this place and allowing me to photograph you and your family! Enjoy your sneek peek!
This was a challenge getting everyone to look at the same time...BUT we got it done! This turned out great! :)

Good Morning! What a beautiful morning! And what beautiful pictures these young ladies take.  This Duo, mom and daughter, were awesome at their session yesterday.  They just looked stunning, the location was great, and the weather was perfect too!  I couldn't ask for anything better!
I sure miss these days with my daughter! With my daughter being a teenager, I don't get too many moments like this...sometimes though.  :)  Enjoy while you can, mom!
