CORONADO J.V. CHEERLEADERS!!!!

These girls were a HOOT! Barry and I arrived at a volleyball game to take their pictures. A few of them were a little shy but they loosened up after awhile! We stayed and took some action shots of them during a volleyball game but we were in such tight quarters that, didn't really get the best pictures we could have! But... we enjoyed it VERY much! Thanks girls for being such great troopers!

Barry and I get to take Brookie and Beau's picture with their Mom, JoJo tomorrow night so we'll have some fun family one's of them in a couple of days! Can't wait!!!

HUNTER, LINDSAY & STEVE'S BIRTHDAY BASH AT BUFFALO

What a GREAT family day we had yesterday at Buffalo. We celebrated Hunter's 17th, Lindsay's 21st and Steve's 48th (yikes Steve!)... We had sausage, ribs, Nanny's AWESOME potatoe salad and much more! Thanks for cooking all that Steve, it was GREAT. Raiter and Sayre had a ball feeding the ducks, riding the 4-wheelers and cruisin' around on the golf cart. Then friends of Tina's came to finish the evening with some GREAT music! What a PERFECT day we had! Love all you guys!

ROPESVILLE EAGLES!!!

I went to my 2nd EVER 6 man football game in last night. My brother in law is the head coach for Ropesville. Last night's game against Meadow was the "game of the season". Ropes kicked "boottaaay". I got to take pictures of some kids. My nephew, Landon, is a Jr. at Ropes. I have another nephew, Taylor, who plays drums in the band. He's a 'CHARACTER' deluxe... I also got to take pictures of Barrett... whom we've taken many pictures of with his family... Had a great time!

Tomorrow we go to Buffalo for Hunter, Steve and Lindsay's birthday party!!! I can't wait!

CORONADO FRESHMAN VOLLEYBALL!

My niece, Ashley, is the coach for the freshman volleyball team at Coronado and just so happens that Barry's daughter, Ashley, plays volleyball for her. I just had to out there and finally see what all the fuss was about. Ashley was wayyyyyyyyyyy serious coachin' them girls (most serious I've ever seen her). She's a great coach I can tell though! The girls really love her. I wish I would have had someone like my Ash when I was in highschool.

I didn't get too many pictures of Ashley playing because they won the first two games so it was really short and I was a little late. I did get some good pictures of her BFF, Becca during the second team's games.

Enjoyed it! You guys played GREAT!

TAYLOR NELSON!!

Taylor is Barry's daughter and goes to Coronado. I've known Taylor since she was a baby. She is Hunter's age and they went to West Minster Presbyterian pre-scyhool when they were little. She is such a cutie and SOOOO SWEEET! Barry took her out last weekend and got some amazing shots of her. Can't wait until we can do her and Hunter's senior pictures next year! We'll have a ball! Way to go Barry. These are awesome!

THE NELSON/CARTER FAMILY!!!!

This was soooo much fun. I went over to Barry's house and took pictures, of his wife Jamie, his daughters Taylor and Ashley and his son Brandon... and of the course the STAR of the show, SHADOW!! Shadow was soooooooooo funny. He did not want to pose for this picture. We did everything to try and get him to stay still. Jamie tried snacks, bribery, and nothing. Luckily there were a couple of shots while he stopped for a second that ended up being pretty good. They are going to put this on a HUGE canvas and hang it in their home! Can't wait to see it!

THE HALLIBURTON'S

Well, after waking up at 7:00 a.m. on A SATURDAY to do the Walk for Diabetes... which we did with Cory, Jamie, Michelle and I as Cory did the fundraising for this benefit. I got up AGAIN Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. so we could drive out to Buffalo and take pics of The Halliburton's! Cory (a/k/a "THE HAMMER") and I work together at Hund & Harriger. He's a great friend and a great guy. Jamie is a school teacher and Ryan and Sarah are just a couple of DOLLS!! Definitely full of energy. Good thing I drank 2 cups of coffee before this shoot. Whew. I couldn't keep up with Ryan! No wonder Jamie stays so skinny! She has to chase Ryan all the time!! Thanks for letting me practice on your guys with my new lens!
