**This is one LONG post updating life and a few sessions. There’s not much point in breaking up the post into bits***
So I have been quite busy getting things set up here in Overland Park to kick off our new start to life in a new state. We aren’t even in our apartment yet, we have been staying with close friends and their kiddos here for the last couple weeks until the new place is ready next Friday. I’ll miss it when we leave! But these guys are family and we’ll always be around each other for one thing or another. Daniel starts school at Cleveland Chiropractic College on June 29th, the same day I start my new job in a new Oncology clinic about 10 minutes away from our home. This clinic will be vastly different from Scott & White as it’s a small private Oncologist who treats all cancers and it’s in a new clinic, so he’s just getting his clients and adminstrative speaking, it’s a mess. I have my work cut out for me. I’ll be the only admin in the clinic taking care of patients and all the back office admin needs, so I will be even more to the go-to gal than I was at Scott and White, which I can’t wait. I love having the answers and making a patient’s, doctor’s, and nurse’s life easier. I am slowly starting up my Photography here in the Kansas City metro area, once I get out and start really meeting people word will spread and I anticipate bookings to start filling up. I am looking forward to going back to Temple for a week at the beginning of October for my sister-practically to give birth to my nephew-practically and have sessions for Christmas cards, getting to see so many of my wonderful clients. But until then, summer is going to be busy!
I have a whole bunch of photos to show you from the last of my sessions in Temple before I moved. Three of them were at Summer’s Mill, with the rain it made the waterfall more of a trickle that it normally is during the summer, so it was a favorite. First up, some more from the Barnidge Family! Lori, the mom, is also a photographer in Temple and so I was honestly a bit nervous to do their session as I wanted to give her the high expectations I would have hiring another photographer. They turned out so cute! It was a fun little mini-session at the UMHB campus!
When it stopped raining, we were able to set up a Mommy & Me session with Stephanie and Elise. This was to be a Father’s Day surprise for Daddy, since when we did family portraits a month prior, Elise wasn’t feeling the groove that day. These was taken on Memorial Day and Elise was happily fed when the camera was brought out, so she was up for it this time!
And here’s to the hero Daddy who is serving our country for the FREEDOM we all enjoy! Remember, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE! SUPPORT OUR TROOPS and the people who love them so dearly!! Next time you see a soldier, THANK THEM! It will mean more than you could ever imagine! As a prior Air Force Wife myself, I can vouch for that!
Next up we have Julianne and her Mom & Dad. Oh my gosh, this little girl I just love her to pieces. When I first photographed this blue-eyed darling during Mini-Sessions last October, Julianne was just learning how to walk. I couldn’t wait to photograph her again and so when our schedules finally alligned with a sunny day, I was excited to see this family! Oh the love they have for each other! This time was even more fun, as of course, Julianne spent most of the session RUNNING!
This first image just cracks me up!
Do not chew gum. SOMETIMES I can take it out, this time, it would look like he had no teeth. So rule of thumb if you’re a gum chewer, spit it out! (Especially if you’ve already done it once before!! lol)
Moving day came on May 30th. I took a couple hours off in the morning to fit in one last session. A session I had been looking forward to for quite a while. Julianne’s mom had brought a Gift Certificate for her in-laws to do a session with back in January. Well moving day came and I had to get this session in. And I tell you what, these two are just awesomely in love and were so much fun to work with. Yay for love! I have lots more to share with you on this session, BUT, good things come to those who wait!
Oh and since I felt that I just wasn’t busy enough (pun oh so intended!), my darling Miri, daughter of darling friend Aileen, had her birthday party that day. Couldn’t help but snap a few! I can’t get over her outfit!!! The bows were made by Aileen, who is the creator behind LILLIAN LAYNE bows. CHECK HER OUT! She’ll be at the SAMI SHOW THIS WEEKEND IN BELTON AT THE EXPO! GO GO GO!!
Phew!! I’m exhausted!! Enjoy!!
