A Change in Scheduling....and Life | Chickasha, Oklahoma Photographer

So as most of my blog "followers" know I have a full time job other than photography. Unfortunately I can't pay the bills at $60.00 a session so I have a full-time job PLUS my part-time job, photography.

I live in Chickasha and currently commute to Lawton for my full-time job which allows me to do most of my photography sessions in the Lawton area. Sadly to say but that's changing, as of today. I am taking an opportunity in Chickasha and will be starting there on the 10th. So now most of my sessions will have to take place in Chickasha. I am still willing to travel but I can't for $60.00; there will be a traveling fee added to anyone who wants to shoot in Lawton or anywhere 20 miles outside of zip code 73018.

I won't be scheduling any shoots until after the 10th of November :o(

Thanks!

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's kind of bitter/sweet.... I love birthdays, don't get me wrong :o), but I look back on this past year and what have I done? I guess it's to be expected when you move a lot like we have. We moved back from Denver just over a year ago and I've had 3 jobs since then and have barely gotten my photography off the ground...we tried starting a family but only failed, was diagnosed with PCOS and I managed to gain over 30lbs...

Things will only be different only if I make it different.

This year...

I vow to.....
-lose 40ish pounds
-be a better wife
-take better care of myself
-take better care of my home
-push myself to learn more about photography
-always put my family first
-find a studio and practice practice practice!

xoxo,



Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!! | Lawton, Oklahoma Family Photographer

I had a good friend contact me wanting some photos of her and her two baby girls. She already had a location in mind; a house in the wildlife refuge that was very special to her. I realized how out of shape I was carrying my gear and a two year old on my hip walking about 200 yards through a field of grass about waist high, but it was well worth it!

Jessica, I hope you enjoy!

Gromit! Senior 2011 | Lawton, Oklahoma Senior Photographer

I had the pleasure of working with Anna this past week. She's an amazing girl, so mature for her age, as is her sister as well.

We were able to use their beautiful home on Ft. Sill as a main backdrop for the photos. There was a church, some old barracks and a park as well. It definitely gave me something different which was a God send :o), thanks to Karen, Anna's Mom!

 Mom wanted a serious shot and I can see why, aren't they beautiful!

  

I believe this my favorite from the session!       This girl just doesn't take a bad photo!

No Gromit smiles here! You would've had to be there ;o).

I really hope ya'll enjoyed your sneak peak! It was such a blast working with all of you!

The Nixon Family | Chickasha, Oklahoma Family Photographer

So this really surprises me... Last week I had the pleasure of shooting some good friends and their gorgeous family. Steven (who work's with my husband) is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He's constantly smiling and talking to people and just always making people feel comfortable. Apparently he doesn't like to take pictures....hm. I guess just like every normal man in our neck of the woods, lol. I could NOT get a smile out of him...

Sorry Steven, I guess you're just hopeless ;o)

On the other hand his wife Amanda, cousin Nikki (sp?) and his beautiful baby girl Taylor were all more than happy to be there!

I had a blast you guys! Dinner Friday?

99% of the time this is the expression I got...haha.

The cutes little girl EVER!

Oh look! An expression of some kind? I just love this family...

Can you get any cuter?!                                Mommy and daughter :o)

Thanks Taylor! This was perfect!! :o)

"I want to take a picture with Dylan", whispered Taylor.

Why is it that kids always LOVE my husband? lol, this is adorable.
