Ashley & the gang

Ashley and her family were so sweet! It took a bit to get the little people to cooperate. They are always easily intimidated by the camera and I'm accustomed to that. We eventually got it all worked out though :)

Miss Joanna

I first met Miss Joanna about 3 months ago, just before her husband deployed. I was excited when she recruited some of her Army wife friends and asked me to come back to Ft Riley to take more photos! She is so sweet, quite possibly my most enthusiastic cheerleader and she has an awesome personality! I am so lucky to get to meet such great people like Joanna :)

Joanna, I hope your husband enjoys the new pics and I can't wait for him to come home so that I can do another shoot for you guys. In the mean time, I'm looking forward to our next shoot. I'm sure it will be lots of fun, as always!

OpLove: Tia

Ok, seriously! Can these two be any cuter?! I had so much fun with Tia and her kiddos! They all had their Daddy Dolls and at one point, her middle daughter tried to collect them all and run off with them :D I can't wait to get thru the rest of their images because we got some great ones!

OpLove: Tiffany

The innocence of children just warms my heart, especially when they are as adorable as little Miss Mia. She and her mommy, Tiffany were so very sweet and I had such a blast shooting with them! I sure hope that Mia's daddy likes their photos :)

Babies are such a nice way to start people.

I just love baby bumps! The preparation for a new baby is so fun. Well, for me at least since I'm on the other side of the bump ;)

Miss Anna is expecting a baby boy in the very near future. I'm afraid her friend Lonnetta's son, Jeremiah, will be teaching her little one how to master the attitude in no time though :)

OpLove: Lonnetta

I had the pleasure of meeting some really sweet Army wives in Ft Riley recently. Their husbands are all currently deployed. Lonnetta and her little boy were so adorable! And you could absolutely NOT pack any more attitude into that little man if you tried! He kept me laughing the whole time we were shooting. I think she's got her hands full with him :)

Patience is the companion of wisdom.

I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Shannan just over 218 days ago. How do I know the specific amount of days? Well, our other halves are deployed together. I married my love 261 days ago and Shannan will be marrying hers in just a handful of days!

She wanted to surprise her honey with some photos. I can't give the public much of a sneak peek but we did take a few non-boudiour shots too so this is all you guys get!

I wish you and your love all the happiness in the world, Shannan! And enjoy the little bit of time you guys have together before he goes back to the sandbox ;)

(Only a few more months to go!)
