a couple things to share

I wanted to share a couple images from this past weekend. Saturday, I met with the Coe family and got this shot of the 6 kids/grand kids in the family. Aren't they adorable? I most certainly think so! (More to come on them later) I loved all of the outfit colors in this shot, and the kids all had a personality of their own!

On Sunday, the colors outside were just breathtaking and the sun was enormous! This is the farm ground next to our home which my brother, Brandon, was drilling beans in.

Happy Monday everyone!

spring is here!

I am so glad for this upcoming warm weather. Although it is has been a little chilly the past couple of days here in northwestern Ohio, I look at these pictures (that have been sitting on my hard drive) and get warm feelings! There is just something about these beautiful colors that make me very happy inside. Not to mention the flowering of the trees the first couple of weeks.

Most people hate dandelions and want to mow over them right away, as I am saying "No, don't touch them yet, I need to take pictures." I really like a nice field of them, because they are so sweet and delicate. This was also Mylee's first encounter with dandelions, and she couldn't have been more cute. Her little mouth was as yellow as yellow could be from eating and sniffing them all day when I took these shots.

I really love this image for some reason; very serene feeling..

Last but not least my little pride and joy! :0) See what I mean about yellow mouth?

ba :: ffa awards banquet

Brandon had his FFA awards banquet last week and I just happened to take a couple shots. All through High School I had never been to an FFA banquet, so I wanted to see what it was all about! Here are a few images from the event.

Getting some awards!

devon paige stansbury :: miss mohican valley

This beauty, also one of my closest friends, is up for Miss Ohio in June! She recently won the title of Miss Mohican Valley which qualified her to participate in Miss Ohio. Wait.. Miss Ohio? YES, MISS OHIO!!! OH. MY. WORD. Dev, I am sooo excited for you! This is quite the accomplishment!

So, Devon came in to get some shots for the Miss Ohio catalog, which I was soooo excited to do! Below are some of my favorites from the shoot. Enjoy, and be sure to tell Devon congrats!

Dev, you ROCK!! (I WILL be there with my big zoom lense :D)

Good luck little sis! I love you and wish you the best of luck!

my baby brother is going to be a senior

We have this grain truck that is going to be sold in the upcoming auction in Willshire this weekend at Farmer's Grain and Ag. It has been in the family for quite some time, and with BA finishing up his junior year I wanted to get some of his senior pictures with the grain truck. Not to mention the light was perfect last night! It really made the old girl look great for portraits, and if you know our family you know that FORD is the only way.. hehe :D (Well, the guys anyway) Enjoy, and hopefully this beautiful weather will stick around!

beautiful frost :: winter of twenty ten

We have been getting all of this crazy snow lately, and I woke up the other morning to this beautiful scenery! I just LOVE the look of frost and snow clinging to tree limbs and other objects. I thought these images were too pretty to just sit on my hard drive so I wanted to share.. enjoy and stay warm out there today!
