Meg Soccer

My daughter decided it was time to start playing soccer again, so I decided to forego the "formal" soccer pictures and just take my own.  We walked over to Springwood Park and took a few shots this evening.  This is one time she didn't mind me actually taking her picture :)

40th Birthday Surprise

I'm going to try and incorporate a few more personal moments into my photography so people can get a sense of me, what I enjoy and what I'm about.  This past weekend I wanted to do something special for my husbands 40th birthday.  So... as any crazy wife would do, I decided to throw him a surprise party, which (if you know my husband) you know it's not easy to surprise him :)  Here are some of my favorites from the party.

And yes, if you are wondering, we played pin the bikini on the lady :)

Megan's Love of Horses

One of my daughter's favorite things to do, is horseback.  Megan has been taking lessons since she was 7 and has not waivered from it at all.  You know she's really committed when she volunteers to go and clean stalls.  Who does that?  Our Thursdays consist of coming home from work, Meg getting ready and then we head on over to the barn for her lesson.  While she's doing her lesson Chris and I watch, I occasionally take pictures of her on the horse and then I take pictures of some of the other horses as well.  Below are a few of the pictures from today's lesson as well as one of the horses at the barn and, of course, the barn cat that comes and keeps me company while Meg is riding. 

Scott Kelby Photo Walk

I took the opportunity to go on my very first Scott Kelby Photowalk today!  I had a great time, I even had my daughter come along with me.  I was able to catch a few photos of her throughout the day as well.  I just LOVE being able to spend this time with her and capture her true personality.  There is nothing better in this world, than being a mom.

My Beautiful Daughter!

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of spending the day with my awesome daughter.  We declared it Mommy/Daughter day and we had a blast. We played putt-putt, went bowling, had ice cream, went out to lunch and got her hair cut.  After the haircut I couldn't resist taking pictures of her.  Here are my two favorites!
