Sneak Peek

The Katschkes haven't seen their photos yet because I'm still working on their Christmas cards . . . so here is a sneak peek (mostly for Amy :)  You are the best, thanks so much!

Family pictures - Bybees and Eastleys

First of all I want to thank all the families that allow me to take their pictures.  I feel like I learn more each time and I truly love it!

It was fun seeing Misti and her family again.  Since they moved to the other ward we don't see them.  (I'm sensing a theme here :)  Thanks again you guys!

I also got to take pictures of the Eastley family.  They are a great family (their little girl has me smitten - what a cutie!)  

Miss Maddie is getting baptized!

and I got to take her pictures for her invites and big day!

This young lady is such a sweetheart and my favorite neighbor of all time - I still miss her sweet voice saying, "Hi Sister Buchanan" from two doors down - we definitely miss them!

The day we took her pictures it was COLD and the wind was blowing - she was such a trooper though and we were able to get some great shots - take a look . . . .

Our friends, the Carroll family

This time of year is absolutely perfect for family photos.  I love how these turned out - such a fun family!

My poor, neglected photography blog . . .

I guess it is pretty apparent that I haven't been taking very many pictures and I've been spending even less time editing the ones I do take.  I'm okay with that though, life has been full, crazy, and fun.  Eventually I will be in photography mode again.  

We did take a day to do dance pictures more than a month ago and I'm just getting around to editing them.  With four dance competitions this year and two girls doing solos, we are more than a little hectic this time of year.  

Here are a few photos I took of Ainsli.  This is her third year on dance team and her first year doing a solo.  She has been working very hard and we are so proud of her.  

She does a lyrical/jazz solo to "Peponi" by The Piano Guys.  I love her costume and the fact that she adds something to her routine every time she performs it.

This costume is for her team hip-hop.  They dance to "Up, Up, and Away" and at the last competition they got overall high scores with this routine.  (Love the pink hairpieces, too).  

Hopefully I'll be back with the rest of her costumes at some point . . .
