Dudlet gender reveal

2015-03-05T08:55:00.000-08:00

If you ask me why I love my job so much my answer would be "for moments like this."

Those moments in life that will forever change your life.

Those moments that pull at your heart strings.

Those moments that you don't ever want to forget.

To be able to take someone back to that exact moment in time and all those feelings of that exact moment.

That is why I love my job so much!!

Michelle and Jason thank you for choosing me for such a special moment.

For trusting me to not blow the surprise.

And for letting me be part of your forever memories.

Much love to you and your sweet little Miss on the way!

Can't wait to meet and squeeze her!!

Quick side note: Mom and dad had no idea the gender of the baby till they sprayed those cans. I had the amazing privilege of being the first to know when I opened that envelope. Better believe I checked and triple checked both the gender and cans to make sure I didn't blow the moment!!!

SO MUCH FUN!!!

Luke is one

2014-10-01T17:23:00.000-07:00

Meet Luke...my crush!

I adore him and I'm pretty sure he feels the same way about me (wink,wink).

I mean why else would he let me hug, kiss and squeeze him whenever I see him?

OK, maybe he is scared to death of the crazy lady, but I'll take it.

I mean look at him...he is just so squeezable!!!

Love you Luke...thanks for spending some of your special day with me!

Karsyn's turing 2

2014-09-17T12:42:00.000-07:00

She tried so hard to be strong and not like me.

She didn't want me to see her beautiful smile.

I was determined to win her over and become friends.

I did and we had a great time together!

Happy almost 2nd birthday sweet girl!

Benzo turns 1

2014-09-15T09:48:00.000-07:00

This sweet little guy is turning one.

I had a great time hanging out and exploring with him.

And despite the awful heat he rocked his session.

Madison is 1

2014-09-02T12:52:00.002-07:00

Cake smash sessions are always so much fun.

Madison really knew how to have a good time and showed us how to properly "smash" a cake.

Special thanks to Odyssey Cakes for the beautiful cake!!

Megan & Dean

2014-08-26T22:22:00.000-07:00

I've had the pleasure of knowing Megan for a few years now.

Her outer beauty is equally matched by her inner beauty.

To be honest, I kind of adore her!

When I met Dean I knew he was special.

They just seemed to fit so naturally.

And the spark in their eye's for one another was undeniable.

I am so happy to hear that they will be saying "I do" and making it official!

Dean and Megan I am so happy for you!

Much love to you both!!
