~Russell Family~

I know Amanda is super excited to see these. We weren't even sure when we woke up on picture morning if we were going to even get to take them. The wind can sometimes be great for photos but not when you have gusts up to 30mph! With an impromptu change of location to shelter ourselves from the wind, it stands a testament to everything happening for a reason because the setting for these pictures just may be one of my new favorites. Amanda is Benny's cousin and I know her husband Tom from high school. Their boys Carson and Oliver are just adorable. Their striped sweaters just look so great and the pictures turned out fantastic. Enjoy guys! The rest will be ready for you shortly.

Its been a busy weekend for me. I did 4 photo sessions and threw 2 Halloween parties in the mix too. Candie is dying to see some of these so here are a few to hold her over until I get the rest done. Candie has been a friend of mine since middle school. Its awesome to still have such a great friend. The session we did included Candie and her husband Ryan and their 3 boys Kaden, Kohen and Kellen and also Candie's little brothers Issac and Ricky and Issac's daughter Makayla. It was a windy evening but we were able to get in some great shots in spite of it. Hope you like em' guys!

~Cody~

Cody is the adorable Megan's boyfriend, I did her pictures a few weeks ago and let me tell you, Cody was a dream to photograph. He's almost always smiling and I didn't have one shot with his eyes closed, not one! I didn't have to pose him he's just a naturally cool guy. Every once and awhile I needed to remind him to just relax but other than that the pictures came so easy. Thanks Cody! And that Bronco...Now, I'm a Chevy girl but I do have an appreciation for the hard work and effort that went into fixing that bad boy up, its a beauty! Congrats on your graduation you're almost there. Enjoy your last year and all the hard work over the years. I know your mom is dying to see these, hope you all like em'!
