Riley was so easy to photograph.  And is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen!  She was sweet and has the cutest chubby cheeks ever!  We did have a little trouble getting her to stay put and not wander off, but what 1 year old ever stays put?  Doesn't she have the cutest smile?  I was totally in love!  And look at those eyes!  She has beautiful eyes!  (And great wings too!)

I have a few events that I look forward to every year, and even though I have only done this event one other year, it is one of my favorites!  The Healthy Bone in conjunction with Vista Ridge , allows the dogs to come and invade the pool before they drain it.  I cannot convey how exhilarating it is to watch a bunch of dogs running, jumping, playing and carefully stepping through the water!  I wish there was a pool in the summer just for dogs, I would take my dogs every day.  Imagine a doggie pool!  It makes me smile!  This is my sweet Gretchen dog (for those of you who know the bunny head story, this is her!)  The puppies were so cute!  I'm pretty sure it was the ball in my hand that really had her attention.  Makaela was giving Otto and piggy back ride (he wasn't too happy about being in the water).  That is until this dog thought he wanted a piggy back ride too.

Rachel's Senior Pictures were so incredibly awesome! She is a wonderful, vivacious, exciting person! It was like going to lunch, or in this case photographing, with an old friend. I loved being around her. We could have photographed so much longer had the sun not been going down.   I realized that there were 3 images with the umbrella and I thought about taking one out, but I love how the umbrella brings out her eyes!  She has beautiful eyes! Rachel heard about me from Colby, I had done her sister Alyssa's pictures.  Aren't they so cute???  I love this image! This is proof that she wanted to have her pictures taken!  She walked into a field FULL of these stickers!  And then she walked back out!  I was amazed!  I loved these in the road too!  I do like the dusk light for different and fun photos!

I have known Nicole since she was in Middle School and I couldn't believe she is a Senior already!  It's amazing how time flies.  I do have to say that it was great to see her and catch up.  She has grown up so much.  She is in CNA classes at school and loving it, well most of it anyway.  I love these images by the old silos and the train tracks!
