Cattails & Muskrats

A dear friend of mine is expecting his first baby due any day now. Mama was due on September 24. It is now September 28 and as far as I know, Mama is still preggers and both are anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby Z.

Have a mentioned I love the colors of fall...browns, the burgandies, burnt orange and mottled yellows amongst the leaves...the softness of the light in the late afternoons...mmmm....makes me all daydreamy.

Here are few photos from our very impromptu maternity session. Mama day of the shoot was 40 weeks + 2 days and she was still smiling.















Mama radiated through the whole shoot. I am so excited for when Baby Z will make her grand appearance!

Have a great evening!!

Sugar and Spice...

And everything nice, is what little girls are made of!?!? Right?!?

Well, that's what I thought or maybe the old nursery rhyme needs to be tweaked a little bit for the 21st century; now I am not saying that all girls are not as the rhyme states, I'm just saying one might want to add, "dirt and grime make for a fun time" when it comes to this little cutie below.

I got to spend my first weekend with Miss G and her daddy. We had a blast that weekend. I traded my dress pants, high heel shoes, and fancy shirts for yoga pants, tshirt and sandals and for 3 fun filled hours army crawling through the tall grasses or simply trying to blend in with the round pen to capture some of the shots below.





















Hope you enjoyed! Have a great evening!

I Heart Wide Open Spaces

There are no words that can express my love for the prairies. Being a prairie girl born and raised on the family farm, i find a peacefulness and calming essence when I walk amongst the land. Letting the wind tossle my hair, fresh air filling my nostrils and feeling of absolute solitude at my finger tips.

Enjoy the photos below.

Grasshoppers & Wheat Fields

Hard to believe summer is already over and Fall is gracing us with her presence. *Sigh* oh well, at least the colors are much more beautiful and i love the crispness of the mornings.

The boys and I managed some days trips here and there and I played a small amount of ball this year...and for those who know me well I live and breathe baseball and to scale back to only 4 tournaments this summer is HUGE!!

And to welcome Fall and the harvest, I got to capture my friend's beautiful baby belly over this past weekend. She's due in 13 days and looks amazing. Damn her! Lol! Just kidding. I love her and that belly to pieces.












We had such a great time doing this shoot, even when the hoppers decided it would be fun to crawl all over during a portion of the shoot. Oh what we photographers do for a good photo! lol!!

Have an amazing afternoon!
