Yesterday we visited one of our state parks and a local petting zoo... not to discount our South Africa trip but we have some pretty cool animals here too. It is very nice to walk freely around them without fear of being eaten...ironically I have a ton of mosquito bites {I'm thankful we don't have malaria here}.

Beautiful girl.......

Alexa Smiled....Twice

noreply@blogger.com (Dawn) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 00:12:00 +0000

I've been photographing Alexa for almost 3 years now, she does not smile on camera...

she is my kryptonite.

Smile one

Two and she's being sly about it...

She's got the best dimples ever I wish I could capture them in a photo!

My third year with this beautiful family....

It all started with a chair.....

noreply@blogger.com (Dawn) — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:18:00 +0000

We met Tim and Karen several years ago when they purchased a piece of land in Ridgeway referred to as the Three Oaks. My husband had spent years hunting this land in trade for clearing the trails and doing general upkeep on the land, we were so happy when they offered to keep the hunting agreement. I have taken so many photographs over the years of the oaks and was flattered that Tim asked me to help document the building of a very unique home on the property this year. I'm going to include a couple of links at the end of the post because Tim has the gift of writing and I do not...

One morning in the spring of 2009 we were on the property and this chair struck me as both beautiful and haunting, Tim's chair.

I was not surprised to find out this past fall that the house would be located to the left of this oak grove as the view is beautiful.

Foundation was dug and poured last fall

The home was manufactured in California and brought to the oaks by www.bluhomes.com

The home is constructed on a steel frame and unfolded on the foundation

The iconic chair was there, in a different spot each time I visited ...

As I mentioned above these are links blogs Tim has written regarding the purchasing of this land and building the home he chose.

Just McKenna {2012}

I first photographed McKenna when I still shot film, I think she was 3, and I was in my 30's....
{I have to mention that when I can}

McKenna recently got a baby brother and her mom thought it would be fun to make a session just about McKenna... what a fun night we girls had ~

I'm glad my boys never read my blog because this little guy might be cuter than they were at 6 months.....

Keeping it real.....

noreply@blogger.com (Dawn) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:08:00 +0000

Wow fun .... I don't even know what else to say about this session!

Thanks boys for showing up with your silly on!

Two.....

This was my first shoot with my Mark 5D ii which going forward I will refer to as "the beast".

I love two year sessions they are completely out of my control and produce some of the best candids I ever capture. And the cuteness.... M was ridiculously cute and completely in charge ~

I love this last one... I'm busy!
